Stories

A few quick stories that I wanted to share before I forgot them:

On superbowl Sunday we were all sitting around the kitchen table at Ryan's parent's house. Brielle was on my lap, facing me, when she started rubbing my belly and said "mommy big".

We went to a chinese buffet for dinner the other night and before one of us could stop her, Brielle grabbed the sugar shaker and attempted to shake it all over Ryan's food. She missed and just made a big mess all over Ryan and the table. Then she looks at me and says "Dadda messy" as if Ryan was the one who made the mess.

The three of us were hanging out on our bed at home and Brielle was asking us where Buck was. I told her to call him and I showed her how by cupping my mouth with my hands and calling "Buck", she imitated me exactly. Then I said "say it louder", and Brielle still with her hands cupped around her mouth calls "say it louder".

The three of us were in Brielle's room last night reading her favorite Elmo book when she started counting to ten while pointing at different things in the book. She says every number in order but leaves out 6 every time. Then she tells herself "good job Brielle!" She did this over and over. Ryan and I were trying so hard not to laugh out loud that I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

She insists on coming into the bathroom with me, then claps and says "yeah Mommy!!" when I'm done. Shouldn't this be the other way around?
