Funny girl

I think I state this often, but Audrey really is a goofball. If you don't get to see her to know that, then you're really missing out (and I am totally unbiased, of course!).

She's really funny in how she wants to be involved in everything and do everything that Conner does. Letting him go outside to play has become an issue because she wants desperately to go, too. The other afternoon as I was trying to get dinner together I let her go out with him in the front yard (we're lucky that we don't live close to a road and I know my kids won't go running off). A few minutes later I looked out to check on them - they were both happily digging in Daddy's dirt. Having a ball (is she a girl, you ask - just keep reading!).

Monday afternoon after we got home from school, I went upstairs to change my clothes. My little shadow came along with me, but headed to her room to play. After I was done I went in there, too. She'd gotten a blanket out of her closet, grabbed the little pillow that Conner used last year at preschool (which was in one of her doll cradles), and one of her "babies" was lying in the middle of the floor "heepin" (sleeping). There was to be no disturbing of that baby!

Audrey tries her best to be Miss Independent. "I do it!", "I got it!", "I dropped it!" are some of her most common phrases. (She actually uses her pronouns well - seems to know when to say I and when to say me.) I forget exactly where we were or what we were doing, but there was one time a few days ago when she wanted to do something and just kept saying "me. . . me. . . me. . ." while I was saying "no. . . no . . . no. . ." Aud also really enjoys dragging her "hool" (stool) around so more things are in reach - like her spoons and forks, anything on the counter, and lots of light switches.
