They say you can know someone is lying because they won't look you in the eye. "Can I have a cookie??" - Alethia "Did you eat your food?" - me *blinking uncontrollably and swaying her head from side to side* "I ate it ALLL gone." - Alethia. We then had a talk about lying

at 3:30 am people will say anything...

...Well, Alethia will!

"Get in your bed Alethia." - Matt "I don't want to it's disgusting." - Alethia  "Alethia your bed is not disgusting." - Matt  "It is disgusting. That's why I want to take it back to wal-mart.  My bed is melting." - Alethia "Your bed is not melting, Alethia." - Matt  ... AAAAAhhh!

"My mommy tells me to pp on the potty. i have to pp on the potty. thats why we dont let you pp on the potty. my mommy always tells me to pp on the potty, but we wont let you pp on the potty because you're locked. because you're stuck! dats why youre in here because youre in here we can't get in here." Play by play of Alethia talking through the door to matt who is in the bathroom.

Another speech to daddy through the bathroom door a day later...
"My mommy always tells me to pp on the potty. That's why I have to pp on the potty. i have to pp on the potty!! i pped in my diaper. that is disgusting." - Alethia

Earlier today Alethia brought me something imaginary from her play kitchen. I ASSUMED it was food and as soon as she "gave it to me" I "ate it." As soon as I "put it in my mouth" she said, "NO! NO! NO! It's the mail!!" Woops! Well, later this evening she brought me more and said "THIS is MAIL. You can not eat it. This is impossible. That is disgusting." - Now I know. ♥

Princess Alethia

After putting Alethia down for a nap I hear her calling for me. I go in and ask her what it is she needs. Through her tears she says, "I just want to be a princess."

Yesterday Alethia (my 2years 5 months daughter) came to the living room and I was sitting there wearing jeans, tshirt, and my hair pulled up with a rubber band head hand.  She just stares at me and then asks, "are you Reagan?" I said, "no, Im your mom."  She didn't believe me and continued to stare at me and then asked again.  I laughed and said, "No, Im your mom! Why? do I look like Reagan?" She said, "Yeesss."

 

Awesome Reagan and Alethia

We would like to wish you a Happy New Year!
