Getting bigger every minute

Maggie is no longer a baby or even a toddler. She is a kid. A running, jumping, talking, strong willed pain in the rear kid. Her favorite things to say are "Go Away" and "HaHa". Unfortunately for us she uses them at the appropriate times, so it is hard to ignore it. It catches you off guard and you look around for this 4 or 5 year old who is giving you attitude. All there is to find is one mad and pouting little 2 year old. She has proven to mommy who is in charge of potting training, mommy didn't get the memo until yesterday. MAGGIE! I try to put her in panties as often as possible so we can be done with the whole diaper routine. Yesterday, she had a tiny peepee accident in my room, so I told her to sit on the potty. She said no and was cranky, so I put a diaper on her and didn't let her have anymore Tinkerbell panties. She proceeded to fill up her diaper immediately with peepee and just look at me when I realized what she did. She understood enough to stop going in the panties, just so she could finish in a diaper. Then 5 hours later when I told her it was time to put on her nighttime diaper and go to bed, she screamed "No mommy, peepee potty!". Fine, I let her down and she runs to the bathroom, grabs her little potty, brings it to her room and puts a full bladder of peepee in the potty. This child knows what she is doing! I just don't seem to know how to get through to her. AAGGGHHHH! If I wasn't grey before this I certainly would be now.

Tonight also marks night 1 of no more bi (that is a pacifier for those of you who don't speak Maggie). She found it "broken" in her bed tonight. (Mommy came after it with a pair of scissors). She looked at it and said," Uh oh, Nienie bad." I had to explain that Neiner was not bad, and he did not break her bi. She then went to the garbage and threw it away. We get back to her room, she looks at me so innocently and says," More bi Mommy." It wasn't a question it was a statement. She knows way to much for her own good. I told her they were all gone, she threw the last one away, and to go to bed. 1 hour 15 minutes later she does just as I said. Who one that one? Me!?! Probably not, but there is no turning back now. She is pacifier free from now on!

Also, the funniest thing I have heard in a while is Maggie repeating Daddy's gaming language. Ryan was playing a game and yelled "Oh piss!" at the tv. He forgot little ears were eating lunch, so he got to hear the sweetest little voice yell "Oh piss!" Over, and over, and over. We are now the parents that spell, because our daughter only repeats the bad things. Or do they all?
