Erinisms

She's almost three and blows us away with comments she makes sometimes. For instance:

• We were driving down I-5 Saturday and there were cows (duh, there are only cows on I-5) and Kate was pointing them out and said, "There's a man on a horse, too!" and a few seconds later Erin says, "There's a cowboy, Mommy!" It's just funny when she puts her vocabulary to work when you least expect it. In retrospect, it doesn't sound so amazing, but at the time Josh and I looked at each other and practically high-fived over the ingeniousness (new word - possibly a Bushism) of it.

• Last night I put on some star shaped sunglasses and she yelled out excitedly, "You're a rockstar, Mommy!" Again, we glowed. Why? Because she's too cute. And I am a rockstar by the way. Even if it is only in the eyes of my second born.

• She saw an Anonymous Family Member's poop in the potty and said, "You made ice cream poop!" Way to go A.F.M.! Keep up the good fiber!



• She came up to me after dinner one night last week and told me, "Mommy, you're my best friend!", then followed with a hug. Love this girl.
  
  
• She very independently decided to change Christopher's diaper and get his "boogies" one day. Even to go as far as placing a baby wipe over his face long enough to make him scream without breathing. Um, I'm not ready for that kind of help yet. But thanks, little one.

• And never ever leave her alone with markers. If you notice it is suddenly very quiet in the house - Barbies beware - Erin probably has a marker with your name on it. And most likely has found a new canvas for drawing on.
