Toddler-isms and Wiggle-Iggle Friday

L is at that stage where she likes to count everything. Fingers, toes, eyes, teeth, EVERYTHING. You have it, she's gonna count it. So it was no surprise to me yesterday, when she sat on my lap after I arrived home from work, pulled at my scoop neck shirt, and proceeded to count my boobs.

One booby (boobie? anyone have a preference here?)...Two booby...TWO BOOBIES!!!

In her counting frenzy she pulls my shirt down a bit lower. She catches a glimpse of the whole boob...

She pauses. I know she knows what it is. We've already named all of our body parts while in the bath, so I ask her, "What's that, L?"

She glances up at me with confidence and quickly says...

Oh, that's Mommy's HIPPO...

Yep, close enough.

As if that wasn't cute enough, she later shouts for me to get her a "bandage" because she has a boo-boo. Naturally, I first ask her to show me her boo-boo.

She does...

::photo deleted::

It's a teeny-tiny paper cut in the very tip of her middle finger. I gave her a bandage anyway. Somehow, I think she earned it.

And now on to Wiggle-Iggle Friday. This song is Spin Spin Sugar from the Sneaker Pimps. Now, you know I don't like much club type music. This song, however, I adore. Oh man, does this song bring back memories. Enjoy...



Much thanks to Frances for starting the Wiggle-Iggle Friday movement. If you would like to be part of it then pop on over there and let her know. Happy Friday!

L is just too adorable!

Sue said...

Hahaha! Love that picture. Never heard of that song, though.

OHmommy said...

THAT picture.

It should be framed.

You should sell the rights to it. I am serious. Look into that. It would make for a WONDERFUL greeting card.

Seriously. THAT picture is awesome.

The Immoral Matriarch said...

LMAO!!!

Groovy Mom said...

LOL! Too cute! You could make a cool blog award out of that picture. The greeting card idea is really good too!

Peace is every step said...

she is so stinking cute.

Hippo? That's hilarious! My son called boobs (well, just mine) "Nanny-nanny-boo-boo" when he was a toddler.

L is too funny. Love the "Hippos" - I'm pretty sure that's what mine really are!

Mama Zen said...

Blog Hoppin'

Kelly said...

Oh, a badass toddler chick. I love her. Can we schedule a playdate so her awesome-ness can rub off on my kids? Seriously, can we arrange a marriage btwn your daughter and my son. A toddler who flips the bird, even if she was tricked into doing it, warms my heart.

Melissa said...

Hippo! Loving that!

And the picture is priceless. I would have to put that up in my cubicle at work.

amanda said...

i'm a sucker for a toddler sticking up her middle finger. :)

Huckdoll said...

The attitude! The finger! I dig!

We're in the counting phase, too. But we're also in the "Wat's dat?" phase. EVERYTHING! "Wat's dat, wat's dat?"

And people wonder why I drink...

cablegirl said...

nothing like a toddler flipping you a bird. lol Great picture. She'll love that one later in life. lol

lunanik,
i hope all is going well (need to write you via email) thanks so much for your comment. i have recently been reading comments on other blogs about how the bloggers try to make it a happy place, yada yada. i actually feel a tad bad that i complain, but then i remember that it is MY blog and the reason i created it. i created it so i could write it out, write it away...i really didn't expect anyone to even read it. it has been a blessing that i have found support, humor, friendship. your comment touched me deeply ...thanks.

i am heading to a play in the city with my sis and niece. mats is with sassnfrass. should be good for my soul.

Frances said...

Awesome pic! The look on her face is priceless. I agree with groovy mom. Make that an award. The "you fuckin' rock award". or the "Fuck you this blog is awesome"
