Before I write out a few memorable moments lately, I would just like to announce that I'm calling it - she's potty trained! She goes days without accidents, though they do and will still happen occasionally, I know. She still likes to visit every public restroom multiple times because you know, they are so clean and nice. And I'm a slave to her "potty?" request because I can't just be sure she'll hold it. But by and large, Audrey is out of diapers and living in big girl underwear!
A few fun Audrey tidbits:
1) The other day she announced with a sigh, "I'm tired!" It caught me off guard because it sounded like, well, me! Ha! I laughed so hard and now she knows she can get a laugh so she says it a lot.
2) When she sits down, she gives a groan like she's 85 and all her bones are creaky. It's hilarious.
3) She gives these bear hugs where she wraps her arms around your neck and just squeezes. Love those hugs!! I hope she always gives them.
4) She calls all meals "yummy yummy." As in, it's time for yummy yummy.
5) Audrey has favorite cashiers at the grocery store, and talks to them when we check out. She also tells them goodbye and asks to hug them when we leave. Might need to have a boundaries talk with her in the not too distant future!
6) She's started using a nonsense word all the time. She said "furdur" when she doesn't know the word for something or just as a flip response without thinking. It took us forever to figure out what it was, but decided it was just a filler.
7) She counts 1,2,3,6,7,2,3,8,2,3. Really loves 2 and 3.
8) She eats off a monkey placemat and every single meal, without fail, when her plate is removed, she shouts, "MONKEY!!!!!!!!" at the top of her lungs like she's never seen it, and then "hop, hop, hop!"
