Siena lately...




Well where do I start... This girl lights up our lives every minute of every day... Her little personality is slowly but surely becoming bigger, funnier, cuter, sweeter, and down right crazier on a daily.
Here are some for instances...

1. She now does not have naps. Yes finally, she goes to bed between 7:30 and 8. This means she often passes out involuntarily in the strangest positions or at the strangest moments in the day... ex. when she's cuddling me on the couch at around 2pm, naked from the waste down, due to potty training, head on my shoulder, feet dangling off the couch, and inevitably, hand in mommy's shirt. One minute we're talking and the next she's drooling and unconscious. It was so funny the other day, she was passed out on the couch just after I gave her a digestive biscuit and I was telling her "wake up Siena! you can't sleep now!" and finally she opens her eyes, looks down at the couch, sees the cookie, takes a bite and starts to cry, and goes back to sleep... James said it best, she's like a drunk or hungover person grabbing for stale pizza or something!
2. Poop on the floor. Literally. One day she was just leaning against the arm chair (without diaper on) and suddenly she says "MOMMY, I DID POOPOO ON DA FLOOR! HIGH FIVE!" Ummm, no, let's not high five for that one, and let me just reiterate to my husband that I will never get a dog... I can barely poop scoop Siena's business off the carpet, let alone a dog's off the carpet, or the sidewalk, or the grass, or the beach... etc. Then one quiet evening in with Madden football, my husband and the lovely encouraging James Holt began with a pee in the potty and ended with MORE poop on the carpet... Siena did her pee, I took it to flush it and clean the potty, I myself use the facilities, then what happens next... I hear James saying "Yay Siena!" Kyle saying "NOOOOOO SIENA!!!" then laughing.... James was just so encouraging that Siena decided to empty her bowels right into the potty, which was conveniently missing the "catcher"... Woopsy!
3. Playing with her "babies." She could literally turn anything that is small into a baby in her mind, which is awesome. Last night she got a hold of a champagne cork and it became her baby... She walks up to me in the kitchen and says "MOMMY, BABY NEED YOUR BOOBIES!" ummmm, exqueeze me?! A champagne cork? Okay, you're so awesome.
4. At this very moment she is sitting next to me totally nekked, except for her grey socks, with her legs crossed and her hand gently and pompously resting on her knee, oh and her other hand is, you guessed it, in my shirt again. P.s. All of this nakedness has given her the idea that she does not need to wear clothing or diapers EVER, and SNAPS when I try to dress her to go somewhere (and poor Sadie, is calmly saying, "No Seeanna, listen to mommy, you need wear socks, it cold outsiiiiiiide")... and by snaps, I mean full on kicking me in the FACE until I give up and walk away thinking, okay, maybe we don't need to leave the house ever again, that would in fact be easier than attempting to dress this child who is acting like a rabid raccoon. She may or may not be turning into Suri Cruise... Soon you will see her wearing fuzzy slippers outside in the snow instead of proper footwear, or, god forbid, gold high heels and an ornate Spanish tango dress...
5. Hair cuts and hair clips, don't even think about it... Siena's eyes are also slowly disappearing behind thick, blonde, shiny, beautiful bangs... Seriously. I trimmed her bangs while she was sleeping three weeks ago and they have grown back, and now rest in her eyelid creases... God forbid I attempt a trim while she's awake and can see scissors coming at her, she grabs her hair like it's an expensive hair weave and holds on for dear life... She also refuses clips and bows unless she's completely distracted and doesn't notice me putting it in her hair... But then some random out in public will say "OH WHAT A CUTE BOW IN YOUR HAIR!!" and Siena rips it out before I can stop her... Literally, rips it out, hurting her poor self, and I'm like "no, wait I'll get it!" and she's screaming, and there are little hairs still attached to the clip... Thank YOU for bringing it up stranger. Attempting to cut her nails is the same... But if my mom does it, oh no problem, Siena sits there like she's in a spa... If I try, I have to have a death grip on her entire body and her finger while she screams and wiggles like that rabid raccoon that seems to be living inside her!
All in all my days are filled with countless, hilarious moments that I am oh so grateful for :)

  1. Oohhh todlers, sooo much fun!! Really!! I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to dress, clip and clean my child. The stage of defiance is just wonderful, I love the challenge from my 2 year old every day.
