shootin' the breeze with little miss

this girl definitely keeps me on my toes. here are some of her recent happenings:

******

annie and i were getting ready in my bathroom when she left to go get her toothbrush and toothpaste from her bathroom. i continued getting ready but noticed she was taking a while. rhet started crying so i went to help him then realized it had been quiet for way too long. i go to her bathroom to find her sitting, fully clothed, in her sink, the drain plugged up and the entire sink filled with water while the water continued to flow. she just said "mom, it's ok. I takin' a bath".

we were at one of our neighborhood pools the other day with a friend from church and a girl from my neighborhood whom i just met the previous day. the lifeguards temporarily closed the pool due to thunder so the kids went onto the grass to run around and play. i was talking to my new friend when i noticed she had quite a troublesome and almost horrified look on her face. she obviously stopped listening to what i was saying and interrupted me with a slow "um....Lyndi (continued horrified look in annie's direction) um...Annie is peeing in the grass". i turned to look and there annie was, legs spread wide, hands on hips and peeing. and then in one continuous motion she popped up from the split position and resumed her place in the running/screaming game on the grass. classy.

most of the time if we are not going anywhere after annie's naps i typically let annie run around in just her shirt and underwear. in fact she has become quite used to this that she now protests when i make her put on some pants if we are leaving the house. so one day after her nap she was playing around the house and eating some grapes for a snack. i go to check on her and notice that she is walking funny and  her underwear looks lumpy. i ask her what is going on and she says "mom, it's ok. grapes in underwear. in pocket,"then pulls a grape out and eats it then continues going about her business. i then introduced her to purses--a more sanitary approach to carrying things.
