Bumpity Doo

While Jake was helping a family move one night Scarlett and I watched Cinderella.  It was her first time seeing the movie.  It was my favorite as a child (like: cry-while-it's-rewinding favorite) so I was hoping she would like it.  She sat on my lap and we snuggled as we watched it together.  Yep, she loves it!  In fact, it's the only movie she'll watch in the car right now.  She'll ask "watch bumpity doo?"  (from the bibbidi bobbidi boo song).  Sometimes when I look back at her she'll be watching the movie with twinkling eyes and a genuine smile.

Also, she's started saying "teddy bear go bumpity doo?" then she throws him down the stairs.  haha!  

More Scarlett-isms

• "leaves" means salad
• "good luck mom"
• "a new trick!"
• we'll ask if she's done "Nope, almost."
• "Oh, I see" when she learnes something
• "you a silly goosey"
• "I a goof ball"
• "sun goin down?" at night
• "sun comin up?" in the morning
• if I try and lay down on the couch while the babies nap she'll say "wake up mommy, wake up.  Sun's comin up!"  then she pulls my blanket off and sometimes opens my eyes for me.  Not many naps for mommy...
• "you fix it for me?" "dad fix it when gets home from work?"
• "it's not working right now" "needs new badd-rees" (batteries)
• "I made a huge mess"
• "ole bar" means granola bar
• "my knee hurts, I bumped it in the street" or "my knee hurts, I fell in the car" neither are true and her knee doesn't hurt, it's just a story she tells
• she hates wearing band-aids "I don't like it" "get it off!"

Playing ring-around-the-rosey with her princesses.

Scarlett brought her teddy bear downstairs this morning.  I heard her laughing and saying "stop lickin me" - yep, she was making her teddy bear lick her face!  I asked if teddy wanted to drink some of her green smoothie, "no, wants milk."  So I had to nurse teddy.  Then she said "oh no, need burp cloth!" then ran and grabbed one, came back, and wiped teddy's face off.  Then she used the burp cloth as a little bed and patted teddy while singing a song to put him to sleep.  hahahahahaha!!!!!  So sweet!

Time for new jammies?  (and yes, we eat suckers in our jammies while kickin back on the couch watching cartoons at 3pm.  don't judge)

Scarlett wanted to nurse the baby.  She is such a sweet big sister.  I love how she always rubs their heads and says "oooo, baby so cuuute."

OCD?

I have no idea where she learned "cannonball!" from - too funny!

She LOVES balloons.  She brought a helium filled balloon home from Kaylie's bday party and Jake accidentally popped it (good one Jake).  So he blew up another balloon for her.  She let go of it and it just fell to the ground.  "Oh no, it's broken!"  haha!  Despite it's "broken" nature she's been playing with it for the past 5 days.

Lately if we need her to do something we'll starting counting to 3 in a stern voice and she'll run fast right over to do whatever.  I'm not sure why she's scared of that cause we hardly ever get to 3 but I'm glad she's listening and obeying.  I've been trying really hard to give her big hugs when she is obedient.  I have to really pay attention cause so often her good behavior goes unrewarded.  Being a mom is sure a lot of hard work!  But so much fun!!!
