Melanie-isms


When we were by the pool last week, Julie and my parents were discussing the fact that it was Joey's "birthday."  (his one-month birthday)  Mel picked up on this, and headed inside, telling me she was going to go have some cake.

I got Melanie some new vitamins, and they're gummy.  She had one, and assumed they were fruit snacks, so threw a 20-minute fit to get a bowl of these goodies (she had a name for them resembling "vitamin," but a little garbled).  Jeff finally had to go out and get her fruit snacks, at which point she was VERY happy.  She's had about 5 bags of these goodies since he bought them 24 hours ago.

There is a sunshine on a towel that I used for her the other night; she kept talking about "my sunshine" - so I told her that she was MY sunshine.  The rest of the night, she told me "you're MY sunshine, Mommy."  She also has a shirt with a sunshine on it, and we have similar discussions when she wears this shirt.

Jeff was gone, and I knew Melanie was playing upstairs by herself.  I started to get nervous, and headed upstairs to see what I was in for.  She was sitting at the computer desk (thankfully not coloring on the desk with markers, as she has been known to do).  I asked her what she was doing, and she replied "Checking email."
