Random Things

Last Friday afternoon when I got home from work I decided to make some warm tea since it was so chilly out.  I showed Annabelle how you dip the tea bag in the warm water and for some reason it cracked her up. I guess the idea of putting something in your drink attached to a string is pretty funny to a toddler.
Lately, Annie also loves sitting in the drivers seat of our cars while they're parked in the driveway.  I assure you, this is a "game" that her Daddy started with her.  He'll sit in the passenger seat while Annabelle stands in the driver's seat.  She's so happy just pushing buttons and turning knobs. It's funny to see what entertains her. I walked out there the other day and the signal lights were blinking and all I could see was this little blonde head bobbing below the steering wheel.  I'll be inside the house and all of a sudden hear a horn honking.....our neighbors must think we're crazy, but she loves it.

Annabelle is getting better at telling us what she wants.  The other night I asked her what she likes to eat, she thought a moment and then said, "pisah (pizza), eggs, toast, and MEAT!" Every time I tell her I'm going to cook something she looks up at me and asks "pisah?"  The kid repeats EVERYTHING we say now. 

We're looking forward to the holidays and having some time off work.  Whenever I talk to Annabelle about Thanksgiving she yells "Turkey!" and then I'll ask her what the turkey says and she replies, "bobble bobble!"  Then she'll say "pie! yummmm!"  She's such a silly girl. 

Sometimes I'll turn on music for Annabelle and start dancing around the living room and she'll crack up laughing at me then start dancing too by spinning herself around in circles and bouncing up and down.  She loves music.  The other day at the playground, while Randy and I were pushing her on the swing, she just started singing her own little song.  We had no idea what she was saying, but it was clearly her own little version of a song.

Last night, Randy and I got away and had a delicious dinner at Fish Bones. I was craving some seafood and that place did the trick! Seafood isn't something I make at home very often, although I see no reason why not. It was nice to have a quiet night out to ourselves!

I'll leave you with a short video of Annabelle singing the ABC song with me.  My favorite part is where she says Hannah at the end, one of the characters in her favorite book...so random!
