"What's That Called?"

I know I don't take enough video of Lexi because I am going to miss this phase so so much once it is gone.  All her cute sayings are way too enjoyable.  "Mommy, I love it" It may always surprise me how quickly they learn and what they choose to remember. She is in the phase of "what's that called?" and she always responds with "oh, ok" and I just eat it up.  There was that tough phase where she tested limits, and she still will for new things, but she is fairly obedient once scolded the first time, so I feel like she is finally starting to understand that limits keep her safe and everyone happy. She has definitely developed a sense of guilt, for better or worse. I know she wants us to be happy too. Just the threat of a spanking is enough to move her along. Again, for better or worse, but we appreciate that it works… She tells us to be careful in the kitchen or by cars. Sometimes she learns by experience, e.g. she knows no longer to touch the tree (she broke an ornament that cut her finger).

She got in the car this morning saying "don't want to be late!" and I just smiled because I must have said that a million times as I wrestled with her & that car seat. She is truly my delight in this world even after I tell her she is being annoying for something else, ha!

I just cracked up when she saw those dolls at the store and started carrying them off the shelf. We also promised her we would put up the Christmas tree and that very next morning she runs to my bed and says "Christmas tree?" They remember.
