This is how we rollIt has been a long time since I've truly updated this blog. If I were to attempt to document all the accomplishments of my super-baby-genius since then, I would fail miserably. So what follows is a random assortment of some things Natalie and I thought you should know...
Some of Natalie's most interesting phrases:
"Yankees Yuk, Grandpa Lee! and Go Red Sox, Grandpa Lee!" Just because it is obvious doesn't make it any less genius. Take note Grandpa Lee, lest you wind up on the wrong side of geniosity.
"Broccoli, broccoli, OOOOOOOOO Cookie Monster" Natalie announced this at the dinner table the other night while pawing through her broccoli. We're not quite sure what it meant but I believe she was trying some sort of wizardry on her Broccoli in hopes of turning it into a cookie. If she had succeeded, we could have sold her services to grumpy Broccoli eaters everywhere...alas, it failed.
"Mama Trash. Dada Trash": Either this was her first insult or she was trying to express that only Mama and Dada can touch the trash.
Some interesting developments:
Fear Factor: Natalie has developed a fear of certain stuffed animals. If we even discuss one of the offending beasts, she shakes and clings to the nearest adult. The problem is we never know which stuffed animal might illicit this response, so we'll innocently pull out a former favorite toy, only to watch her breakdown. Apparently these type of unexplained fears are normal for her age, so when she suddenly begins to stress about a certain stuffed friend we stick him in the office closet. I have yet to find a link between the stuffed animals she fears and those she doesn't, though I am beginning to expect those that frighten her are demonically possessed, which is why I haven't spent much time in my office lately.
ABC's: Natalie knows a good deal of her letters, and enjoys singing the ABC song. She cruises through A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J, inserts another B for K, and then belts out M,M,M,M...Q. Which is either an indication that she doesn't knows those letters, or enjoys eating Qs.
Sing-Along: Natalie loves to sing other songs as well. Her repertoire is wide and eclectic. For instance she can sing "Where is pinky?" and then immediately break into a verse of "Too Hot" (Don't ask how she learned this song). Sure she mumbles some words, skips others, and invents a bunch, but I dare you to find something cuter than a toddler learning to sing.
Potty Training: No she is not trained yet. Please don't ask me again.
That's all for now, I am going to go burn those demonically possessed stuffed animals.
