Author: (Sitting in the rocking chair in her bedroom with Jess, the following conversation ensues)
Jess: Addie, are you ready for bed?
Addie: No, I just need to check my email…
Last night as Addie was winding down (and gearing up) for bedtime, she threw her standard I’m too tired to take a bath tantrum. As per usual, Jess picked her up and took her into the bathroom. Just as they were walking through the doorway, Addie turned her head to say “No! No!’ and WHACKED her head on the door jam.
I took her fro Jess and into the bedroom we went to calm down and make sure she wasn’t “bleed-ling“. Just as I got her calm Jess walked in. What happened next made me laugh so hard I had tears streaming down my face.
Addie put her hand on the whacked spot, looked Jess square in the eye and said to him in her most pathetic two year old voice… (but with all seriousness) “Daddy, WHY would you DO that?”
There was a moment of silence as Jess and I looked at each other trying to decide if she really said that. After it sunk in, we both started laughing pretty much uncontrollably. Fortunately, Addie is still too young to realize what was going on and just laughed with us.
Feel free to sing along!
(Sorry for the shaky camera, I didn’t have it mounted and was trying to guess where she was without looking based on my hand positioning)
*edit: It was pointed out to me, no where in this post did I explain “neighborgood”. That is how Addie says it. It’s not a typo.. but thanks for keeping tabs on me, most days I need it!*
This isn’t really about the people in our neighborhood, but Addie does mention my parents neighbors when prompted.
Another conversation in the wee morning hours from anout 2 months ago. I got recording a little late, as I had to wait for a stoplight to find my phone. Addie remembers everyone, she will most likely grow up to be one of those people that never forgets your name, and you are struggling to remember theirs. Ack! I hate when that happens. Good thing she will be around to remind me of everyones name!

I have been making cornbread for years. Muffins, pans, loaves, you name it, I love it. This month, I decided to let Addie in on the fun.
We have made pancakes before, so she knows about stirring and pouring in water… But this time she decided to do it her way.
Jess doesn’t eat cornbread, so I figured what the heck. If it’s just me and Addie eating it, who cares what goes into it… so the question arises. Have you ever had PLUM good corn bread???
Not my most exciting blog ever… but memories don’t fade when you catch them on film.
Lately, baloons have been all over the media thanks to Balloon Boy.
It seems only appropriate my little Addie should get her share of balloon recognition as well. Afterall, she loves Balloons. However, I would never let her near a large silver “aircraft” type balloon she could crawl inside and float 7000 feet over the ground for 3 hours… but thats just me.
Here are some Addie size balloons I am happy to let her play with.
Recently Addie has been enjoying colors. She likes to point to colors and tell us what they are.. although everything seems to be “ba” or “pa”… I try my best to tell her as many colors as I can.
Today I took one of those re-usable grocery bags to work,
Do you see where this is going? She points to the bag and I say “Orange. It’s and Orange Grocery Bag.”
Then she points to the words on the bag…”green” it says. So… “Green” I say, Addie looks at me a bit confused and says “ba”.
Yes, I tell her “Bag. Orange Grocery Bag.” Again, she points to the words.
I have to admit, at this time I am trying not to laugh and praying for a bird to fly overhead or a car to drive by, as the look gets more and more puzzled.
“Green” I say with a smile and a giggle…”The WORD says GREEN, the bag is ORANGE.”
She just stared at me.
