Silly Millie

Millie says some of the craziest stuff lately.  I know that's what all 3 year olds do, but that doesn't stop it from blowing our minds.  A small sample:

• JKK was watching the girls one day and I got this text: "Millie trying to get Syd to do something and Syd won't...and Millie finally says "SYD!!  You're not listening to my mind!!"

• Along those lines, today in the car Millie was asking Syd a question.  Syd had a paci in and was trying to answer her.  Millie perfectly imitated the garbled mess that Syd just said and asked "what was that, Syd?  I don't know what that means.".  She expects more out of Syd's language skills.

• I have the following conversation every day:  

          Millie: what day is it?
          Me: Tuesday
          Millie: yes, but is it Monday or Friday
          Me: sigh

She's very interested in the days of the week.  Maybe I should get her some days of the week panties to help her keep it straight.

• Her pretend play is getting sort of strange.  Recently, she kept calling me Rusty and talking to me in an angry voice...getting on to me.  I kept asking who Rusty was, but she was in her own world.  Finally, I'm embarrassed to say, it got to me and I told her to quit calling me Rusty and go play somewhere else.  Every day is strange when living with a 3 year old.

She's drawing people now!!

She's such a good helper, big sister, and inquisitive little leader.  Typical first child. :)

She has a wicked sweet tooth, but who can blame her?!  We limit the sweets, but probably not as much as we should.  At Little Gym this morning, I overheard a mom of a three year old say her daughter just had cake for the first time at a bday party recently.  Whaaaa?!  That's definitely not how we roll.  Thank goodness Millie also LOVES vegetables.

I just love her.  So much.
