we are fairly strict about not saying "NO" to us so the other day there was an instance where I did not like how she said NO so I told her she didnt say no to mom/dad and that she needed to say "no thank you" i.e in instances where no is truly appropriate since that was our problem before is I would say not to say no so then when it was truly appropriate she wouldnt have anythign to say i.e "do you want milk" and she woudl just look at me unsure what to do--which is funny in and of itself. So now when we say something that would sometimes ollicit a typical 2 year old Noooooooooo we get a whiney small voice saying "No thank you" which is absolutely hilarious in some situations. She has extended this to most areas, even when Jared is teasing her and goes somethign like this
Jared: do you want a nap instead of going to the park
Lilllian: no thank you 'very adamant with head shaking'
Jaerd: do you want to sit on the couch
Lillian: repeat
Jared: do you want to have a poop sandwich (his favorite thing to tease her about)
Lillian" nooooo thankkkkk youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu whining
A famous one around here lately is "SACHI get out of my BUTT" when the dog is sniffing her
everything that has ever happened in the past is now "yesterday"
one cute thing she does right now is replay conversations 'playing' both people in the conversation it goes somethign like this: "yesterday Daddy told me no" and I said "Daddy I want to go outside I want to play with my toys" and then Daddy said............and on and on it goes while she tells you the whole story--even if you were the other person in the story. She does this same thing to tell me stories about what happened at daycare or about a TV show that was watched. This practice of hers got Jared into an embaressing situation at home depot a couple weeks ago. She was recalling a story of looking for him and as you may guess part of it was her whining in a loud voice "where's my Daddy, WHERE's MY DADDY" LOL as he is holding her hand trying to quickly get her to walk into the next department so people will quit looking at them--which probably made it look even worse. I think he was afraid he would have someone asking if he had just stolen this cute little child from somewhere.
Lillian has also learned to tease. The first example of this that sticks out in my head is one night when I had a bad headache so Jared took Lillian outside with him to work on the car. He told me later that she looked at him and smiled as she was saying "Daddy is inside sleeping and Mommy is fixing the car" and then when he would question her about it she would laugh. She also likes to look at me and say "where is my mommy"
on of the cutest things she has done for a while but she is more verbal about expressing it now is to love on the dogs. She goes up to them, wraps her little hands around their muzzle and kisses them, or she lays down on the floor with them and lays on top of them and snuggles and pets them. She says "awww, I love her, I love my Nala (the main one of her affection and by far the one that is most patient with her), I loooovvvveee her, I need Nala, Nala lay down, Nala give me kissies". It really is cute and she absolutely loves her dogs. She lets Sachi kiss her IN the mouth and Sachi licks rapid fire---it is so disgusting and Lillian thinks its hilarious.
One of her big things right now is "everyone can't see my butt" when changing into her underwear or pulling her pants down to go to the bathroom etc.
There are so many more cute moments around here that I want to capture but for now I am out of time.
