Twin Talk Vol. 14

*Stella took her diaper off and ran out of the bathroom and told me “I farted on your floor, Mommy!”

*At dinner one night Mya announces “I love you, Mommy! And I love you, Daddy! And I love you, Stella!” Stella chimes in “Yeah we love Mommy and Daddy and Mya and Milo and Elvis! I love my FAMILY!!! And I love Lindsay and Payne too!”

*Mya has recently been calling Dora – Dorda. I asked her why she was saying it like that and she said “Because that's how Mami and Papi say it”. Dora's parents have a strong accent and they do say it like that. :)

*Stella was pushing Mya around in the doll stroller and Mya was pretending to be a baby. She asked Stella for her stripes blankie. Stella told her “Ok, baby I will find it”. She walked over to the couch where Wes and I were sitting, crossed her arms and leaned on the coffee table and said “Um, guys Mya needs her stripes blankie because she's a baby and she needs it but I can't look for it because I'm too busy”.

*Stella was sitting with me snuggled up on the couch watching Dora, which she was totally entranced in. I asked her to go to the bathroom and try to go potty since she hadn't since she woke up from nap and she told me “No, thank you, Mommy. Maybe when it's over.” LOL

*Both girls marching around the house carrying a laundry basket and singing “What's gonna work? Teamwork!” over and over.

*Stella: Before she was done eating she announces loudly “Mommy, I'm DONE!” I told her no she still had a few bites of pork chops left. She screamed with an angry look on her face “No, I am done! I need to get down and watch Dora!” Wes told her “I don't think so, Tim! (from Home Improvement) and she said “I'm not Tim, I''m Stella”......all with the most horrible scowl on her face!! Sassy for sure, but we both had to turn away because it was pretty funny!

*Every morning Wes takes the girls to the sitter's house and I pick them up after school. Our routine in the morning is basically the same. I lay out their clothes the night before and when they wake up Wes goes in the bathroom with them and also helps them get dressed. They come to me when I get out of the shower to put on shoes and socks, get their hair done and put coats on. Then they come and kiss and hug me and we say good bye. One morning, Mya came back to tell me something else after she was supposed to be going out to the car with Daddy. Stella come walking back to get Mya and tells her super sweetly “Mya, fweetie, you're my best friend! Let's go, girl!” and reaches out her hand to Mya. Mya wrinkles up her nose and tells her rather rudely “Mommy is my best friend” and breezes right past poor Stellie.

*I had a killer headache one day after school so I ran through McDonald's before going home so I could get my caffeine and fountain pop fix. Stella asks me “Mommy are you getting a fweet tea or a diet macoke?” Wes drinks diet Mountain Dew which they call “Diet ma dew or diet monna dew” so I think she just mixed them up. LOL

*We are getting a bit frustrated with the potty training situation. We are basically at a stand still. They will go pee when we ask and sometimes they will ask me to take them but not often. They never poop on the potty. I'm so sick of it and I know Lisa, our sitter, is too. She is working with 5 two year olds. My girls and Sophie are not getting it, but the other two toddlers are. Lisa told my girls and Sophie today that they won't be able to go to Nana's school next year if they don't poop on the potty. She told them that Jax and Teagan will be going and sitting on Nana's lap, but they won't. They did NOT like hearing this. We've told them this before but maybe coming from someone else it helps. Lisa said they had all sorts of things to say about this but Stella just gave her a horrible look and said “No, you don't talk to me!” and stomped away.

*Wes and I usually work on school stuff after they go to bed but if we ever have anything out when they are up they ask us “Is that for your kiddos at cool?”

*The girls like to hide and ask us to find them. One day in the car Mya decided to play......by herself! She covered her eyes and said “Mya, where are you myself?” She then answered herself with “I'm under here, silly!” Hahahahahaha

*Daddy came in the house after a run and was talking to the girls in their high chairs. They made a comment and he said “You better watch yourself” to which Stella replied “Wow, he's really grumpy!” He said “No, I'm not!” and she said “Uh, yeah you are!”.
