Shelby Quotes

Shelby is constantly saying the most adorable, and sometimes hilarious things. Most of the time, I am simply wow'd by her vocabulary.

My favorte:
One day we were driving home from school and I notices Shelby had taken off her sock and shoes and lobber her foot off to the side of the car seat. I asked her what she was doing and she said "My foot in time out, not good listener."

Several days ago our neighbor's car alarm was sounding and it was quite loud. We wanted to make sure it was not one of our vehicles, so we opened the door and looked around. We spotted the culprit and closed the door. When we got back inside Shelby said "The car is bad boy. Too too noisy!"

Nearly every day I ask Shelby what her "lunch lady," Miss Sandra brings her for lunch. Yesterday she replied: Pepperoni Pita. What?! I had no idea she knew either of those words!

I think I have mentioned it before, but right before Shelby goes to sleep she tends to babble quite a bit. The other night she told me that she "Made an incident report because Matthew threw his apple in the trash. And then she called his mom."

Now, from the above it sounds like we just discipline all day, every day, but she will say the most sweet things too. Jack cam down stairs one weekend and asked for a hug. Shelby delivered the embrace and then said to him "You're beautiful Daddy."

Just Being Two

Two means busy. It means happy. It mean curious. It means mood swings. It means not a baby, but not a big girl. It means I am constantly looking for ways to keep my love bug engaged. This last weekend we went outside and did some painting. I decided to take the camera with us.





I posed the question, "What does a dinosaur say?" Shelby answered with a loud "RRrrrraawwwrr!"


Cookie Time

One of my new favorite things to do with Shelby is to decorate cookies. It's probably pretty wasteful, as the three of us have no business eating a whole batch of cookies, but it is really cute and equally fun. For every sprinkle that makes it on a cookie, five find their way to Shelby's mouth. If there is one lesson I have learned though is to think twice about eating treats that other people's kids make......lots of finger licking. I'll leave it there :)
