Anni: Yes, I'm indecisive..... but sometimes I'm not.

I concur

Anni was misbehaving when she stopped and said, "Hmmmmm, that's not appropriate."

Future musical critic?

Anni:  "Mummy, I love you.... but I DON'T love your singing!"

Darwinian theory

Anni:  "Mummy, do ants have eye lids just like people?"

"Do worms have bums?"
"Animals poo.  Trees don't."

Oh dear

Anni:  Mummy, why is that balloon fellating?
Mummy:  *trying to hide laughter*  "I think you mean DE-flating."

Beauty is skin deep.....

Mummy:  Anni, I'm going to go out with my friends tonight.
Anni:  Before you go out, Mummy, make sure you look at yourself in the mirror to make sure you are pretty.
Mummy:  What if I look in the mirror and I'm ugly?
Anni:  Then you can put a towel on your head!

It's been a while

Anni is going to be a big sister and Mummy has been more than a little pre occupied with sleeping and feeling sick.  In the meantime we've had the momentous day of finishing creche, Christmas, New Years and it's almost time to start school!  We have orientation in just 3 weeks.
Here are some (only some) of the things that Anni got for Christmas:

• wooden doll house
• wooden balance bike and helmet
  
• swim suit, kickboard and floaties
• books, games and puzzles
• stickers, magnetic drawing board, craft stuff
• clothes
• cooking sets, chefs hats and aprons
• new engine, bridge and tunnel for her train set
  

Anni is becoming very independent and this morning woke us at 6.20am, fully toileted and dressed and telling us it was time to get up and have breakfast. (Not so impressed with the time but impressed by her get up and go!)  She is daytime potty trained and is learning self care routines and other household chores like setting the table and clearing up after dinner.  She loves helping to clean and does dusting, hangs up her own washing on her own washing line, vacuums her own room and makes the bed.  Now, if only we could get her to put her toys away when she's finished we'd be set!! : )

The wish for independence has also brought lots of 'interesting' behaviour and at times we find ourselves challenged by her stubborness.  I try to remind myself that she is still only 2 and you can't reason with a 2 year old....... *hmph*

Missy Moo has really come out with some funny insights into the world but for the life of me I can't think of what they are!  I always think I should write it down..... but alas.

She's also looking forward to being a big sister and is setting toys aside 'for the baby.'  She loves to talk to the baby though my belly button and says that she can see it dancing, playing and waving through the hole.  Sweet.  Let's hope she is so enamored when he/she arrives.....
