Shoe Fetish

I am coming to realize my child has been blessed with my love of shoes. As soon as I found out I was having a girl, I started collecting clothes and shoes for her. She has always had a variety of shoes, way more than anyone really needs. She has a drawer in her dresser reserved just for her shoes.

About a week ago, I peeked in on her before I headed to bed, only to find my little girl had put on her rain boots and fell asleep. I started to take them off, only to have her wake up and tell me, "no mommy, I need them."
What a good girl to want to be prepared. You never know when it is going to rain in the house.

Monday morning, still half asleep I rolled over at 5:30am to my little girl standing at my door in my high heels,

"mommy....mommy"
"yes, P"
"mommy, I sleep on your floor."
"yes, that is fine. go get your blankets."
Clomp, Clomp, Clomp went my three year old in heels back to her room.....
"mommy, I need help"

I guess I could have told her that if she would take off her heels, she would be able to pull the blanket and pillow a lot easier. How special am I, that she got dressed up to come and sleep on my floor.

Laundry....Yuck!!!

I have heard you should learn something everyday. I have been doing laundry since Sunday, first at my brothers house, then to come home and wash everything in our house, due to a bug that has invaded Miss P's hair. I was so excited because I could see the end, I only had a couple of loads left. I threw in two pillows, and walked into the other room to list something on the computer. I had just been in there about a minute, only to have Miss P run in, telling me it spilt everywhere.
As I got up, I thought, crap what did she spill now. I asked her, and she just repeated, it spilt everywhere.
I walk into the kitchen to see water gushing out from under my washer and dryer, flooding my kitchen floor. Supposably, if you put too much in front of the water that drains into the machine, or over fill it, it tends to puck its water guts all over your floor.
Lesson of the day, if your husband works grave yard and has been a sleep for only an hour when you kill the washer, good luck on him helping or even hearing that there is a flood in the kitchen. Second, unless you have a strong desire to clean under your appliances, two big pillows don't always fit in the washer at the same time.

She is too smart

This morning, I had made a pitcher of juice with Miss P. I poured a glass took a drink and left it on the counter for her to drink.
I was on the internet in the other room talking to my niece, when Miss P came in asking for a drink of juice. I told her I would get her some, if she would get a cup. She didn't come back right away, so I thought nothing of it, and she was probably watching "her kid shows." (as she likes to call them). A little bit later she came back in asking for some juice and also asking if we could make some more juice. As she was saying this, I was walking into the kitchen to get her some juice, telling her no to making more, as we had just made a full pitcher, only to find an empty pitcher on the counter. She had dumped the full pitcher down the drain and wanted to make more.
I told her to go to time out, trying to control my laughter. How can I get mad when I was not in there watching her. Well of course she saw me laugh. Make matters worse, when I went back to get her out of time out, I started to laugh again.

Later today, we were sitting on the couch, and I was asking her different questions on what she wanted to do, so I asked her if it was right to pour juice in the sink.
She replied no.
I reconfirmed that we don't, and it was not good that she poured the juice down the sink.
Only for her to reply, "But you laughed."

She is so smart and remembers everything. I think daddy is going to have to start disciplining on the funny ones

Way to Much Dora

Miss P was out playing in the front yesterday with one of the neighbor boys. They came to the front door,and I could hear their conversation.

Miss P: Where do you want to go?
Junior: I don't know?
Miss P: Let's look at the map.
Junior: You watch way to much Dora!

She makes me laugh, and yes she watches way to much Dora. We were in Target last night, and she had a bunched up napkin. When we were washing her hands in the bathroom, she gave it to me to hold. I asked her if I could throw it out, only for her to tell me no, because it was the "treasure map." Oh I love that little girl.
