Riley-isms

Riley is turning into quite the clown. She has started to intentionally answer questions wrong and then laugh and then say the correct answer. She takes after her dad.

The other day during bath time, I was singing Mulan and said the line "defeat the Huns" and she looked at me and stuck her foot in my face. Riley said "momma, de FEET"! Oh dear, she even has Ben's sense of humor.

She routinely cracks us up with her little side remarks. Case in point, when she toots we are trying to get her to say "excuse me". So what does she end up saying "my bottom says excuse me!"

She put a headband on Caden and then told him, "don't you ever ever take that off or I will have to spank your bottom!" Hmm, not quite the sweet, gentle spirit that we are working on.

Here is a little video of her sense of humor! She is saying her ABC's and then gets off and then laughs at herself. She is really able to laugh when things happen instead of getting her feelings hurt. I am learning that I am a bit of a sensitive person (thanks for opening my eyes to that Whitney), so it is nice to see that Riley doesn't seem to take herself too seriously!

Reading to baby Caden (not to be confused with real Caden).

She loves all of her princess dresses!

 Out little monkey!

 

Riley, I can't believe you are almost 3! You bring a smile to my face every day. When God created you, he gave you a joyful spirit. You love to make Caden laugh. You are learning how to be brave and face scary situations (which currently include the pool and crowds). I love having "school" with you every day at home and see your little brain work to learn your letters and numbers. What a blessing this year has been.
