neither an elephant nor eve ever forgets

Sometimes it is shocking how much a two and a half year old will absorb.

Even though you are undergoing some of those terrible two moments, we can't help but laugh at some of the things you bring up at the funniest moments.

We've been battling at bedtime a little and you were coming up with every excuse you could think of to not go to sleep and we were at our limit. I told daddy that he had to see why you were screaming for the third time in an evening and it was because you wanted a drink of water because your mouth hurt (for the third time). He grabbed your sippy cup and gently tossed it over the side of your crib and told you to take a drink and it upset you greatly. Every night for the last week you have been asking dad if he threw your sippy cup at you in your bed. Of course, he feels terrible because you make it sound like such a horrible thing to do. Daddy always gives you a straight answer about it while I'm trying to contain the laughter.

Two nights ago daddy was sitting in your bathroom waiting for you to stop throwing a fit about something silly. As he stood up trying to avoid all the kid stuff covering the floor of your bathroom he lost his balance and ended up pulling the toilet paper holder off the wall as well as the toilet seat and cover off the toilet. You gave him a serious look, stopped crying and said, "Daddy, why did you break my potty?" He said he didn't mean to and I walked in after hearing the crash to check out the situation. Dad was just smiling and shaking his head. You've been continuously asking him why he broke your potty and pulled the toilet paper down. He gets embarrassed and again just gives you a straight answer while I silently crack up.

Tonight after another small fit when you got mad at me, you told me you wanted to go to grama's house. I told you we couldn't go to grama's because she lives in Kansas and you said, "Let's go to Kansas right now." Funny girl.
