skl: 2 years (july/aug)
* "where daddy is?"
* "watch your step, sarah kate!" (she said this recently when she was trying to walk in her new rain-boots...cracked me up!)
* sk always calls the "beach" the "geech." i told her the other day to say "ba ba ba ba beach." so she said, "ba ba ba ba geech!" ha! THEN she said "ba ba ba ba ba pool." too cute! i don't do this anymore as to not promote stuttering but i thought i'd give it a whirl to see if it would work. it obviously didn't.
*"no MA'AM!!!!" sk has started saying "NO" way too much but i've got her saying "no ma'am" instead, although the "ma'am" can come out quite harsh. sk can be one sassy girl and she takes about 99.9% of it out on me! probably because #1. she's a girl and i'm her mom and #2. i'm with her 24/7...she IS my job....and #3. she's two. we're working on it. parenting is a job that's for sure. she says "no sir" to trey but sometimes she'll forget and say "no ma'am" to him too.
*"papa cowboy!", "daddy stinky boy", "mama pretty girl", "sarah kate pretty girl." ha! i taught her all that. her dad didn't find it amusing at first but now he thinks it's really funny because she thinks it's so funny! sk has been all about gender for a few months now. she tells me who is a boy and who is a girl. "beau-beau boy, bella girl" etc. or if there is a little boy in a book she'll say, "dat boy".
*sk loves to practice her swimming skills in the bath tub. "go under" is all we hear once she's in there and she seriously spends the majority of her bath time on her tummy putting her head under water. too funny.
*sk talks about herself in the third person. she says things like, "sarah kate do it", "sarah kate sad", "sarah kate play", unless she's talking in terms of ownership such as "kate's chair", "kate's shirt", "kate's boo-boo" in which case she usually uses...well, "kate."
*she has her mama's country accent! or mimi would say "southern accent." whatever...alot of people are southern and don't sound like me...i'm country (not red-neck, but country).....sk, we will discuss all this later. "fliers riiiiiight dare" (flowers right there). lots of things are "riiiight dare."
*"kate go under", "mama go under", "GO GEECH!!!" - i hear that everyday, "mama STOP" (hear that WAY too much), "kate's piggy TAILS" , "hi beau-beau", "be riiiight back beau-beau", i choo mama (i love you mama)", "bless you mama!" or "bless you sarah kate" (when we sneeze), "oh NO!!! froggy sad!!" (when kermit is sad on one of her favortie sesame movies). "gol-ish pease" (gold fish please), "payer gox" (prayer box...in the car she likes to hold the prayer box that she made at VBS and she'll yell her family member's names into the box while we ride.) "daddy take shower", "daddy work", "cow work" (kyle work), "see ashley", "see jon-jons", "see avabyce", "go backyard PLAY PEASE!!", "good job buddy (to beau)", "move beau-beau", "where are you bella?", "elmo LOOOVVVES you", "mama funny", "daddy funny", "dat funny."
*"i'm coming guys!!!" she says this when she is on her way into the room we are in.... when she's leaving she says, "bye guys!" (except for she doesn't say "coming" she says "poming").
*"where sarah kate?" sarah kate hides and says this...she loves playing hide and go seek.
*sk can belt out the songs "deep and wide" and "jesus loves me." it's pretty hysterical...must try to capture that on video. she also belts out the "abc song" and yells complete jibberish for the LMNO part and then nails the "P" very loud and proud....it's also hysterical=)
*watch tangled pease?" (ava and bryce have taught her all about the disney movies and she is hooked!)
* and finally, one of her funniest sayings as of late, "OH SNAP!!!" i didn't know where she got that from but i've been told that it's from ME so i guess i do say it! ha! anyway, she uses it appropriately which makes it even more funny (like if she drops something or whatnot).
those are some things i don't want to forget! also, as of the last week or so, sarah kate has been a complete mama's girl! trey always puts her to bed but at the beach she wanted me to do it. she'd push on his shoulder and say, "bye dad" to make sure i was the one to put her down. it doesn't hurt his feelings. it sure does make my heart feel good though because she was starting to act really ugly to me lately...even the first couple of days at the beach. she's had a change of heart and decided that she DOES actually love me;) trey had a little talk with her about it....maybe she actually understood...ha!
a post with no pics is no fun even though i'm sure the people who glance at my blog from time to time stopped reading this post a few hundred words ago. which is perfectly fine....this is for my memory and for sk to read later....she'll find her younger self pretty funny i'm sure=) so here are some pics from today....
