Toddler Tails

Toddler Tails is a post you do on Tuesdays to talk about the crazy and wonderful things your toddler does. It was started by Lindsay and you can find her here, along with more Toddler Tails.

Alanna's vocabulary has been expanding daily. She comes up with new words on her own and uses them in the correct way. We are always so proud of her. One of her new sentences its "its all done raining" due to the Michigan weather and the 5 days straight worth of storms that have passed through. She is just the most adorable thing ever when she knows what she wants to say and tries her hardest to pronounce it correctly. However Alanna has also picked up a new word that we aren't to excited about, and boy does she know how to use it. "Shit"

We have tried to teach her that the word is a not so nice word, but its hard when it seems to be one of mommy's favorite words to use..(I know). We have tried giving her an alternative phrase such as "oh my gosh" and it seems to be working okay. Except on the days she needs to have reassurance that she says "Oh My Gosh" instead of shit.

Like today at lunch she looks at Chris and says, Lala no say Shit, Lala says Oh my gosh, and then shoves a piece of food in her mouth...Now how can you be angry at such sweetness?

Girl, your momma wasn't a glass maker


This is a new thing Lindsay has started. I thought, hey I have a toddler and sometimes there are good times and other times not so good. I hate to say this, because I know I will kick myself in the butt later, but so far so good the "terrible" twos haven't hit us all that bad. I know I said this once with Hannah and a week later they hit and I think sometimes they are still hanging around...but Alanna has been a lot of fun lately, and very funny.
Just last night Hannah and I were watching a show together. Jon and Kate plus 8, have you heard of it? The show usually comes on at 9:00 pm on Mondays on the TLC network. Hannah always wants to watch it, but its past her bedtime...Anyways for some reason it was on at 7:30 last night and she was sitting quietly on the couch next to me and watching the show. Alanna was on the floor playing with her toys when she got up to ask me a question..Alanna was in the way of the TV and Hannah asked so sweetly, "sissy, will you please move because Hannah is trying to watch this show?" Alanna backed up right in front of the TV and shook her butt and let out a little Ha~Ha~Ha. Hannah got so mad, and the more mad Hannah got the louder the Ha, Ha's got from Alanna...Oh the joys of a toddler...
