poor poor pitiful me




Is this picture not HILARIOUS!!! We were across the street in the school yard trying to fly a kite and she just sat down. Soooo, I decided that since she was actually being still for once I'd try to capture a picture....This is what we get for trying to make our daughter's life fun. :) LOL

free to roam=firetruck rescue

You are about to witness what happens when a toddler is free to roam in the vehicle without adult supervision.



Sorry about the poor quality, it was taken from my hubby's cell phone.

Now, the story. Hubby took AK with him to rent a movie from Redbox. Apparently there was a line so he took her out of her carseat while they waited on the line to go down.

Take note that during this time she kept getting reprimanded for aggressively yanking on the rearview mirror.

So the line dwindles and hubby pulls up next to the curb, crooked as he says, and proceeds to get his movie. He selects "online pick up", swipes his card and turns to watch our precious 21 month old laughingly push the lock down with her cute little hands. He apparently called me, I didn't answer, so his only option was to call 9-1-1. He tells them that his daughter has just locked herself in the car with the keys in the ignition and the vehicle is running...so that was good, she had AC. They ask him if she is in any distress.

Now, let me paint you a picture of distress.

She is playing with the rearview mirror and daddy hits the window and tells her "NO!". She listens at first but then proceeds to do it again, this time violently yanking the mirror from side to side. He again hits the window and tells her "NO!" and she LAUGHS AT HIM!!! Yes, our daughter laughed while she continued to hang from the rearview mirror. Good one.

So, distress, he tells them she is not in distress. They send a MASSIVE fire truck to open the door. Not one of those little fire truck dept. vehicles, an actual firetruck! How hilarious! AND even more funny, he was parked all cockeyed next to the curb. Whew, I'm glad he didn't get a ticket.

THAT, folks, was our Saturday afternoon.

Oh, I forgot to mention that since they were only going to Redbox and she would not be entering public that I sent her out in a tank top and diaper! It's all just so funny.

THE video-flips

Here you go, I took the time to do it because it's so funny! Excuse my annoying voice. I have a scratch in my throat and a runny nose or something...only for the duration of the video...which I find weird. ANYWAYS, here you are.

So today AK has been in a especially wild and funky mood. Not in a bad way, but a hilarious one. I'm tellin ya, discipline helps curb a testy and bad kid ;).

We went to McDonald's this morning where she had a blast playing with some older kids. She just loves them.

She learned how to flip...off the side of her pool...that is full of balls. She leans over the side, whether inside or outside, until her head reaches the bottom (or floor) and then uses the side of the pool to boost herself over into a flip. It's so hilarious and I DID get it on video but blogger takes a full day to upload my videos for some reason so I'm not sure you'll ever get the privilege of watching my kid in action ;).

She was playing with an empty pitcher and was pretending to drink out of it with this big "aahhhh" after she was done with "drinking" and she would say "teea". I don't even know how she knows about tea because we don't drink it. So that was pretty funny.

She also went nuts and started throwing balls at her Daddy and I. Between the three of us it was looking like a ball war.

From there she proceeded to climb onto her bed and throw everything off! I'm telling you, she was wild today!

At the grocery store she had everyone talking to us as she offered her "luuuuuhveeee" to all those interested. I'm not sure why she would even think such a thing because she'd surely be upset about it later...saaay bedtime.

At one point, she came to me with my headband on. She pulled her flower clippie out and tossed it to the floor and tried her best to put on a headband. I thought it was so adorable because one, I love that she knows where a headband goes and two, I like that she wanted to wear it. So sweet.

I like that she's a mix between wild child and girly girl. Never a dull moment. Here are pictures of the events from today.















I love my girl.
