Twin Talk Vol. 16

*Stella has been asking us lately if she can drive our cars. We tell her she can when she's 16 and big. This morning after she got dressed Daddy told her she looked so big in her new clothes she got for Christmas. She marched into the bathroom where I was waiting for Mya to go potty and told me “Look at me I'm big! Now I can drive the car!”

*Mya is definitely my more stinkerish little girl and she has her nights where she is full of “piss and vinegar” as Wes and I call it. One of these particular nights I was telling her I was angry and she was hurting my feelings because absolutely everything we asked her to do she ignored and ran away. I told her she wasn't being a good listener. Daddy ended up giving her a squirt of sassy spray (balsamic vinegar in a spray bottle). That didn't completely stop the behavior and the next time I had to talk to her she said “Well, I'm not bery happy with you either because YOU are not listening to me! I told you I don't want sassy spray!” I had to turn away because I didn't want her to see me smiling and laughing. She's a smart little stinker!

*Anytime Stella wants to prove that she really likes something she tells us it is “my best ever in the world”. For example, one night the girls had all of their babies lined up against a wall so they could pretend to take a picture of them and she told me she wanted to hold her baby with the blue outfit because “It's my best ever in the world baby!” :)

*The girls sleep in pack and plays at our sitter's house. She puts them in her own kids rooms. One night when we got home Stella tells me “We gotta get me a bath because I really stink!” I asked her why she stinks and she told me “Cause I pooped in my diaper in Megan's room and you are sad about it and so is Megan!”

*I think, well I hope, that it is normal that my 2 year olds have such an infatuation with private parts. I've mentioned before that the girls have walked in while Wes is showering or going to the bathroom and they told me that they saw Daddy's “tail”. Well, one morning they were on their way to Lisa's house and they were listing all of the people they know who have tails AKA boys. LOL They listed all of their male relatives and the kiddos at Lisa's “Jax has a tail and Jagger has a tail and Will has a tail and baby Austin has a baby tail” LOL. They told Daddy “we don't have a tail. No we have two butts – a real butt and a front butt”. Wes called me after he dropped them off because he thought it was so hilarious.

*On the way home in the evening the moon is always on Mya's side of the van and they love to find it. Stella can't ever see it from her side and that bugs her. On the way home one evening Stella said “Hey you! Hey Moon! Come on my side! Hey you! What if I said please? Mommy the moon isn't listening to me!”

*The girls had their little singing teapot out on the coffee table in the living room. They were wearing tutus and were dancing around to the little English lady who sings when they push a button. I asked them to come in my room so that I could do their hair and Mya told me “Not right now Mommy we are having a dance party and then we are going to eat our snack and THEN we can maybe do our crazy hair!” This teapot has different settings that teaches them manners and counting and they had accidentally changed it and couldn't get the music on. Stella very sadly says “'I'm very upset because I can't have my dance party!”

*At church, Mya told Daddy that she needed to go potty so he took them into the restroom and she did in fact go. Stella did not have to. After church was over Stella told Daddy “I didn't have to go in God's potty, so I want to go when we get home.” But she wasn't quite ready to leave because she wanted to stay to talk and listen to God. Daddy talked to her about how we can pray anywhere, so it was okay to go home.
