Con {Wo}Man

I'm sorry, I thought I had a 3.5 year old living in my house. I think I may be wrong. Apparentley, I gave birth to an adult with years of life experience.

Experience in the life of a Con Woman.

While playing in the floor this afternoon, Miss Priss decided she wanted to play with the toy Care Bear had, but knew she couldn't take it away. So what did she do? She bribed her sweet gullable little sister with a different toy.
"Here CB, look at this telephone. It's cool, watch *beep beep beep*"
CB takes the phone and lets her toy drop to the floor, then *snatch!!* it's gone. CB never noticed, but I did! I instantly told MP that there was a better way of getting a toy that you want. WAIT. Don't bribe! lol.

No, i'm joking.. that isn't what I told her, but I wanted to. I told her "CareBear was playing with that toy. That means she was having fun with it. You know when you're having fun with a toy? {Insert head shaking by MP} Well you wouldn't want her taking your toy would you? {No} Okay then, just wait your turn and you'll get to play with it too." {Hmph}

That's not all though.

If Miss Priss is being told to take a nap or pick something up etc.. etc.. She will say "Moma, I want a big hug." with arms outstretched and a huge smile on her face.
Ohmigosh. Who taught her that?! Who says no to a big hug? I don't.

She Says the Darndest Things

Miss Priss is killing me with laughter lately. Her personality has really blossomed this year, especially in the passed few months.

{Pics of her in the tutu I made}

I've been asking her what she wants to be for Halloween for about a week now. First she told me a ladybug, then Minnie Mouse, then a dinosaur, and now it's Cinderella. She said "I can be Cinderella and my daddy will be a boy and he will dance with me." AW! That was so flippin' sweet, I almost got tears in my eyes.

She went to potty upstairs while Care Bear and I were downstairs and hollerd at me when she was finished. I said "Well meet me at the top of the stairs and i'll wipe your booty because Care Bear will try to follow me up the stairs" She yelled back "No, I can't! Just throw her in the walker!" LOL! I couldn't argue with that, but instead I carried her up the stairs with me.

Her new things is saying "I never, never, never..." but she draws it out really long on that last never. lol! It's hilarious. I don't know where she heard that. For instance, my mom's dog's name is Cotton Candy and MP says "I never, never, never get to see Cotton Candy." ha!

Yesterday, she was trying to open Play Doh and the lid hurt her finger somehow. She said "Ouch! I hurt my finger." I said "Aw! I'm so sorry" She looked at me funny and said "It's not your fault. It's the Play Doh fault!" Like..duh mom!

We were pals yesterday. She stuck by me all day and night. Usually, she is a daddy's girl, but yesterday was mommy day. =) We made crafts together, read books together, did bathtime by ourselves, sang songs, etc.. but the best part of the day was when she said "Moma, you're my best friend!"
