Just a little Amélie treat!

Jordan stories

She found this costume in her closet & decided she wanted to wear it instead of a normal outfit.

Background story for the conversation with Jordan this morning:

After my shower I heard she was awake so I went in her room to say good morning and let her out of her room.  On a daily basis when I open the door to her room in the morning or after nap she always pops her head out of her tent (she's been sleeping in a tent she got for Christmas instead of her bed for several weeks now) and says excitedly, "Hi Mama!"  It's the sweetest thing.  Anyway, this morning I went in with wet hair since I had recently taken a shower and when I popped my head into her tent she noticed right away that my hair was wet and this brings us to the conversation we had:

Jordan (as she is reaching up to touch my hair):  "Mommy hair wet"
Me:  "Yep, I took a shower before I came in here and got you"
Jordan (thinking):  "Me hair wet take bath"
Me:  "Ya!  Your hair gets wet when you take a bath, doesn't it?"
Jordan:  "Ya, Daddy hair wet he take bath too.  Nooo!  Daddy take shower.  Ollie (the way she pronounces Amélie - which has become her nickname, along with Emmie)  hair wet take bath.  Aboot (the way she pronounces Bogart) hair wet take bath too."

I like to watch her process what I've just said and then think and concentrate so hard on what she is responding back to me.

She has been using words like "really" and "so" for emphasis.  She tells me when she really, really likes something, sometimes repeating the word "really" 4 times to really get her point across.  And the way she says she is SO, SO thirsty or SO, SO happy is just so funny to hear come out of her.  I am in disbelief sometimes with how "big" my little girl is getting not just in this but so many other ways too.

Found this "decoration" in her room after nap time

She is super picky about her water and milk.  She will only drink ice water.  If the ice melts, she will no longer drink it and begs for ice.  And her milk has to be "Brrr milk," in other words it has to be cold.
