Having a 2.5 year old toddler can be very exhausting.
Thank goodness she's cute and says funny things!

Here are some stories from the past month...
I was changing Kenzie's diaper and Marley was in the living room, hanging over the baby gate trying to get my attention. When I finished and turned to come back into the living room Marley ran away and said, "AAAAAHH! She's coming!!"
This kid is STILL obsessed with birthdays. I often hear her singing the song, and she offers me "birthday cakes" a lot. (Usually her snack cup, or something made out of Legos.) Well recently I overheard her say "Happy Birthday Chair!" as she set a
Lego birthday cake on our Lazy-Boy.
Marley's latest obsession is trying to make her sister smile or laugh. She doesn't really use the right pronouns when speaking though, so whenever Marley makes her sister smile or giggle she exclaims, "It's laughing!!"
We were watching a show about colors the other day and Marley turns to me and says,
"That blue is SOOOOO great!"
Toddlers pick up the funniest phrases from TV shows. That's the only explanation I have for some of the things Marley says. Lately, she has started saying, "Oh dear!" When something goes wrong. And today "Oh dear" was followed with an, "I cannot believe it!" HAHA!
There was a big bug on our front window (thankfully on the outside) so I brought it to Marley's attention. After she watched it for probably 10 minutes straight it finally moved, and she exclaimed, "Its working!"
Marley was looking through some of the photo books we have of her first year baby pictures. She looked up at me and said, "I love this story!" I had to chuckle. I'm glad you like this story kid, its your life!
I recently put together bins full of games, puzzles, and other activities for Marley to do every day. Lately when she sees me carrying them into the room each morning she goes, "Lets do it!" along with a few fist pumps.
We were reading a book about counting, and got to a page with "10 tadpoles." I read that out loud and Marley responded by saying, "10 poodles."
We were watching the Giants game one night, when it was time for Marley to go to bed. I picked her up and took her to the bathroom to brush teeth. Once we were done, I started to carry her into her bedroom, when she noticed the game on the TV. She waved at it and said, "Bye baseball!"
You know how sometimes when people are finished with something, or set something down, they brush off their hands? Well Marley has started doing that a lot when she sets a toy down or something. The funny thing is, she slaps her hands together like they're mad at each other. Like when you get in a slap-fight with a younger sibling. I wish I had video, its so funny!
Right now Marley is going through a "scared of bugs" phase. She thinks pieces of fuzz, or hairballs are bugs and gets really scared. Today she did that and it was just a scuff on the wall. After we calmed her down, she was over by the window and noticed a speck of dirt on the shades and said, "Oh no! A second one!" (Meaning, second bug.)
Marley was outside with her grandma, looking at our garden. Grandma picked a fresh green bean, handed it to Marley, and then Marley ate the whole thing! I was pretty surprised since she is hesitant to try new things. I was changing her diaper maybe 10 minutes later and when I stood her up, she patted her tummy and said, "Those were GOOOOOOD beans!"
Things Marley says wrong, but are oh so cute...
truck = cruck
popcorn = paw-corn
amen = the end
slinky = squeaky
