ghetto princess

We always say that Alex is our "ghetto princess" because she shows up every morning in our bed wearing a hilarious mixture of clothing and accessories. She is such a mess. My roommates in college always made fun of my "bed head"...well, I know where she gets it :) Here is the latest...

I also caught her playing dress up in my closet...note her "friend" has on heels too:

I also wanted to post a few Alex-isms. She is a riot. Here are a few of her special little phrases:

*"My beak hurts"-- this is referring to a sore throat. 90% of the time she thinks she is a Scarlet Macaw. What is it with birds?

*"Wiper tape"-- toilet paper

*"Someday when I grow up big and tall I get to eat SALT." How sad. Only our child would aspire to do this.

*"I can't like that"--I've never heard her use "I don't."

*"Pecker chips"-- baked lays. No clue. Maybe she means cracker chips?

*"And dear God say"-- she says this after each section of her prayer. For example" Dear God, thank you for my mommy and my daddy. And dear God say thank for Emmy and Macy and dear God say thank you for my friends and baby Carson and dear God say AMEN. Umm...this is from mommy and daddy telling her "Alex, when you pray say dear God"...so she must think you say and dear God say to get into heaven.

*"Swallowed"-- she thinks we are going to swallow baby Carson. We keep explaining it's a SWADDLE. She always sticks out her pouty lip and says "I can't like you to swallow baby Carson. If he is in your tummy I'll never see him again."

It really will be so sad when she gets everything right.
