HOARDING

OMG I think I am going to contact TLC. My child has a hoarding issue. She hoards Acorn tops. Yes Acorn Tops. What is that. She is insane. Everyday when I get here from school there are acorn tops in her cubby. And then we get home and I was her clothes and find a ton of them in the dryer. I am sure she is stuffing them in her pockets. She came home oneday to and had a ton of them stuffed in a sock. It makes no sense. Oh and she got mad the other day because someone in her class either had more than her or had a bigger one. CRAZY!!!!!

So to add to the list of Lanieisms -

You're Eyeful - Your evil
Thress Ole - Three years old

Time?

Why do we moms decide we are going to start a blog? I mean who really has time for it. What with things like FB and all. Someone said FB is only a daycare for adults. Man were they right. I cannot seem to pull myself away. And not cause I care what your status is, how you are feeling that day, or what your score is on bejewled. I only get on to look at pageant things. I am sick. I have an obsession and it is insane. But it is healthy right. I mean I could be looking stalking people that I once knew. WHO CARES about them when there is a dress or an outfit to be had.

So where are we at since the last time I updated? Who knows? Lanie is doing great in school. She is learning her letters, well learning the ones she does not know. She is learning the phonics of them as well and is also learning her numbers and colors. She is doing very good coloring but seems to have an attitude problem. Really? NO!!! Not from a 3 year old girl. She loves to back talk and tell the adults no....Oh how to handle this situation.

I think we are going to begin to pull cards. You know, like the do in Kindergarten...Yea I will let you know how that goes.

As far as the pageant world she still seems to love them. She never really wants to practice but who can blame her? I mean why would you want to get dressed up in cute clothes and parade around the house to blaring music? Does not sound very appealing to me.

She has also expressed an interest in gymnastics and softball, so we are going to hit up a gym soon and do a free class and check on t-ball for the spring. I even found her a pink and purple glove....Oh yea!!!

I am going to try and be good about writing down cute phrases and sayings she has....I want to make sure I can remember them all as she gets older. If you see any I have left off feel free to add:

ALMENS - "All of them"
TAAGGER IT - "Tag your it"
SURE TURN - "Your turn"
ROCK BAND AND GET DOWN - VERY SOUTHERN ACCENT :)

Its' not Motocross

So yesterday Lanie decided she was going to try and be a BMX rider and ride down the stairs of the deck. I actually think she was just trying to walk down the stairs with her bike but she got to the first step and she fell. Tumbled all the way down to the bottom. She scratched her arm up pretty bad and she scratched her head. I knew we were due though. We had not had a serious fall in a while. Then she went on to school where she got to be the LINE LEADER!!! WTF is that all about. I mean who allows 2 year olds to be line leaders. Tracey ( a lady mom works with) said she saw Lanie leading the crew when she dropped her son off. I asked Lanie last night whens he got home how she had to stand and she showed me her pretty feet. NO LANIE, that is not how you stand when you are the line leader at school. Only on stage. She then showed me. One finger to her lips and her other hand behind her back. SHES BIG!!!

She comes home to and sings songs that they learn at school. It makes her seem so big. I mean really...

She LOVES to read too. Anything. She likes anything from childrens books, to the Wii manual. As long as she is being read to. And she is trying to read herself. She can recognize her name and anything that looks like it. If she sees an L with a few letters behind it it is her name.

Are you kidding me?

My daughter got on the phone with her sister today and was having a conversation....a real conversation....and right smack dab in the middle of the conversation she says "Are you kidding me?" I mean really? Where in the hell does she get it. She is a nut. She is still hating school. Although we went on Friday and she did not cry. I took her in, she was whiny and clingy, I walked her to her chair and sat her down. And this time she did not flail herself down on the ground...That was a huge accomplishment. And there were no tears. WOO HOO!!!

So I am hoping we can stay that way. Maybe she won't be crying as she enters her senior year.

So I am going to really try to keep this up. I know I have slacked off.

Wine Drinking Pantiliner

Lanie is crazy and hilarious. Lanie is doing so much funny stuff right now that I really should be carrying a notebook and writing it down when it happens, cause like mom said, I will forget. The reason for the title is because Lanie has discovered that she likes wine. Mom let her taste it on her finger last night and she told her she liked it and wanted more. Mom let Lanie stick her finger in the glass and get another drink. Then Lanie decided she was going to stick her whole hand in the glass....Later in the night Lanie was being bad and mom told her if she was good she could have some wine. Her little face lit up and she said "WINE"!!! Trouble. That is all I can say.

She also LOVES pantiliners. She like to have the wrapper as her nite-nite. Then oneday I saw her trying to stick the pantiliner straight on her vagina. I asked her if she wanted to wear one and she said yes. She always wants to wear one.

The other day we were in Franklin and we walked past a building. Lanie asked me what it was and I told her it was a church. She then took her hands and said "Eh chuch, Uh Teeple" As in here is the church here is the steeple.

When she counts she uses her fingers and says 1, 3, 4, 5.

There is no two. Which she needs to know since that is how old she is. Pappy asked her last night how old she was and she said something and he said no 2. Then he asked how old she was going to be on her birthday and she said 4, 5. She is getting a little ahead of herself.

We are done with pageants for now. She HATES them. She had so much fun during her first one that I have no idea how she can not like them. I guess she is just going through her shy stage. I think after the first of the year we may go and see a gymnastics class and see what she thinks about it. I think she would really enjoy it, if she could get past the shyness with the instructors.

Her MJ should be here today and I cannot wait cause I am wanting to take her and do pictures with her. YAY!!!

DAMNIT

This is one of Lanie's favorite words. And the sad part is she knows how to use it correctly.

Veronica with her Harmonica

Upon many requests here we are updating. Lanie is a MESS!!! I do not know how I can stress that enough. She is 2 and I have no idea how else to explain it. She is a jumping bean....Mommy Weady my dumpin....

In my hopes to make her a pageant girl, I do believe I will fail. She HATES!!! them. But what does she know? I have thought of a way though to hopefully make her like them. She loves to watch princess so why not tell her when she is in a pageant she is a princess?

I have decided though if she refuses to do the next few pageants we are going to move on to gymnastics...Maybe

She likes to play her harmonica. Mom and I are trying to teach her to tap her foot while she plays...It is too cute

She can say her ABCs, and even adds in the ending part "Now I know my ABCs..."

Although her L,M,N,O,P is ba-ba-ba-ba-be.....

Lanie is wonderful and I love her...She is a stinker who needs to have her head smacked =)
