But I'm dirty!

Sometimes I really feel like I blink and Sophie has grown by leaps and bounds. Sometimes she will say or do something and I just shake my head and wonder how in the world she learned it.

One of her favorite things right now is playing in my make-up. If I let her she would spend the majority of the day, every day, slathering on whatever she could get her hands on. As it is, I like my make-up and would prefer she not waste it so we save playing in mommy's make-up for special occasions only. Like when we have no where to go, because in all honesty it is a pain in the ass to try to clean her face after she gets through.

Most mornings now, she will wander into the bathroom while I am getting ready and tell me she needs to put on my make-up. When I tell her no, not today she will look me in the eye and say "But I'm dirty!". I really have no idea why she thinks being dirty will be remedied by putting on make-up but it never fails to make me laugh!

Other things she has started to say? Well I got this one this morning "Leave me alone" or "No touch me"- especially when I am pinching her tush or trying to tickle or kiss all over her, so it is starting already. Nice.

Of course there are still the sweet moments, like last night when she crawled in my lap and told me she liked me and loved me with her whole heart and then we sang and danced together to Raffi. Or how we cuddled up under the covers in my bed waiting for Daddy to come in so we could scare him. These are the things that makes being a parent so worth it.
