Addison's new haircut

Addison needed a new haircut. When we asked her how short she wanted it, she said she wanted it cut to her ears. She was such a big girl and wanted to go back with the sylist all by herself. I went back for the first little bit and observed Addison telling the stylist exactly how she wanted her hair to look. The stylist noticed Addison had a tangle on the side of her head and asked her about it. Addison said, "Yep, that's my yogurt!" As I left, I could hear Addison telling the stylist all about her favorite kinds of yogurt. It's probably not the typical conversation a stylist has. Her haircut looked really cute by the way.

Jesus is the boss!

Addison was talking about how she gets scared in storms. I asked her if she knew what happened in the Bible when the disciples were scared in a storm. She said, "Yes, Jesus told the wind to be quiet and it did. He's the boss!"

Addison is awesome!

Addison has been struggling with going poo-poo on the potty, so when she does we make a big deal out of it. One day when she went, I told her she was really awesome. She then looked straight up and screamed, "Jesus! Did you hear that? I'm awesome!" We tell her she can talk to God about anything, so I guess she does.

We're all nouns

Addison is now really interested in the parts of speech. She's got verbs down for the most part, but asked me if she was a verb. I reminded her that verbs are things we do, and nouns are people and things, so she is a noun. She got really excited and ran to Keema. She said, "Keema! I'm a noun and you're a noun! Did you notice that!"

Statue of Liberty

Several weeks ago, Addison went through a phase where she thought the Statue of Liberty was the best thing ever. She was talking about the Statue of Liberty one day, when she mentioned that the Statue of Liberty holds ice cream. I finally realized she was talking about the torch.

Pull-ups

We are just about done with the potty training with Addison. However, going out for extended periods of time concerns me regarding potential accidents. Because of this, as we were getting ready for a long day out, I told Addison that we were going to do Pull-ups because we were going to be gone for a long time. She said "No, Mommy, we aren't. I'm not going to wear Pull-ups, I'm going to wear a Pull-up. I'm just going to wear one, I'm not going to wear lots of them."

$6?

We were in the checkout line in Toys 'r Us the other day when Addison saw a set of pens she wanted. I told her she needed to use her allowance to pay for it. She didn't bring her allowance with her, but didn't have enough anyway. It was $5.99, but I told her it cost $6 and she would have to save her money and come back later. She looked right at the price tag and said, "But that's a 5". Then, she turned her head so she could look at the price tag upside down and asked, "Is that the six?" I really thought it would be a few years til she would start being too smart to believe everything we say.

New color?

Addison was coloring in a new coloring book and picked up a white crayon. She said, "Actually, this is dark white, but it looks like just white when I color."
