Hadleyisms

It is my personal opinion that two year olds are awesome.  You hear so much about the "terrible twos" but I've been thinking quite the opposite, that this is my favorite age so far.  In the spirit of loving 2 year olds, I just wanted to write down some of the cute things that have been coming out of her mouth lately:

- First and foremost if you know Hadley you know she loves shoes. She changes her shoes at least twenty times a day. She gets them on all by herself but they are almost always on the wrong feet. We were given a hand me down from a friend (Cate) and these navy blue Mary Janes are hands down her favorite. She is frequently yelling "Cate's Shoes, are you?!" at the top of her lungs when se can't find them. It sounds more like "cashews" so this one took us a while to sort out.
- She counts everything. She can get to ten all by herself!  Today, when she woke up from her nap I was listening to her on the monitor and she was counting her babies (4), her binkies (6), and her blankies (2). I know I know, how does she fit in her crib?  And yes, she still has a binky.
- "I more too, that" any time she wants more of something (usually a "tweet" - treat :)
- "Really Hot" about her food or bath water or the stove. When she checks it to find that its not in fact "really hot" she then says "Just warm"
- She's starting to rock the ABC's, she still needs prompting to get to most of the letters but one string she knows for sure is QRS, and she will repeat it over and over til you prompt her for TUV...she really likes V.
- "Daddy beer" nearly every day at some point she gets Andy a beer from the fridge (no lie, totally unprompted). Soon we will teach her to pour wine...
- "Mommy make it?" first thing in the morning, regarding her oatmeal. (Followed by "Oatmeal Really Hot").
- Any time she sees anything with Curious George on it she screams "GEORGE!" like she hasn't seen him in ten years.
- "No no Bowie, Stop!" any time he's doing, well anything really. She's quite bossy.
- "Daddy white coat. Hadley white coat. Mommy white coat too." this is a long story but Andy has this white zip up sweatshirt that he wears like every night. So at some point of him asking Hadley to help him find his white coat, out of the blue Hadley started calling everyone's coats their white coats. The first time she said it and we figured out what she was talking about we nearly died laughing.
-"Hadley Rose. Bowie Rose. Daddy Rose. Mommy Rose. Fwamah Rose (Grandma)" everyone's middle name is Rose, just ask Hadley.
- "No. Not."  Any time she doesn't want to do something / eat something.
- "Yeah, OK, Sure!" when she agrees to do a little errand for me, like grab the baby wipes or Bowie's sippy cup...she says it all out of breath like she's so excited to help.  So cute.
- This one is my all time favorite and probably TMI (too much information) but last night Hadley was running around in the buff after her bath.  She was playing with some little puzzle pieces and started pretending to put them in her hoo ha (seriously).  I asked what on earth she was doing to which she replied "I put in Hadley pocket".  Oh man....

It's fun to have a little talker running around, I find myself on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what's going to come out of her mouth next.  Love that little girl!
