Our little comedian!

She's 2 3/4 years old - turning 3 this December. I'm very thankful she's potty trained - however, I notice big differences between her and her brother (besides the obvious!!)

Quintin, when told something, follows directions the first time. Elle? She loves to make a JOKE out of EVERYTHING. (Not sure where she could've possibly inherited this trait?)

She's very capable to walk in, get herself undre*ssed to sit on the potty. She'll call to me and tell me when she's done. I walk in to help her finish and am greeted by this huge wad of TP that she's pulled off as well as a huge grin. I usually tear off what I think we'll need and leave the rest for whomever may visit next.

Each time this happens, I ask her to just wait until I come in, or to pull off less. We don't need this much (you can hear me saying it, right? You've been here too?)

Now, Quintin - he would have pulled off less or just waited. Elle? No, she's too much like her mother. This is what she's handed to me the next couple times after our talk.


Yep, that should do the trick!
So, there's our little comedian comodian!
Mom & Dad - remember you said you wanted me to have a little girl that acted just like I did? Guess what? I think I do!!

I'm right there with Jennifer...LOL! Oh my word...I'm still laughing! Gotta run...I have to go look at those pics again.

Wish you could see me sitting here shaking my head!

There is no way you are ever meeting my husband. If Elle takes after you I know you and Dave would be nothing but trouble. Did I tell you that he shot off firecrackers early in the morning and then came in the house like a little boy just a smilin to tell us that it was his birthday? Ahh!

Too cute! Out of the mouth of babes! They just crack me up! But, that is the greatest thing about motherhood. You took a great approach, sometimes we have to laugh or we will cry! I love it, thanks for sharing!

That is just too cute. My father would say the same thing about me too---I think he wants the kids to be just like I was as a teenager..I was such a joy...LOL ;)

Meg said...

Oh that is just too funny!! I love the pictures. What a great way to document her humor. She's so funny.

Tracy said...

That is some funny stuff there Leigh Ann. We haven't had the problem of TOO MUCH toilet paper yet. Maybe with Caymen it will be different because she's already more dramatic. UGH!

Christy. said...

OK, she is SO the middle child. Karsen would do the same thing. You don't know whether to laugh or cry.....

Susan said...
