meredith lately

So Meredith is entering the adorable stage where you can really have almost normal conversations and interactions with her. Yeah she has her frustrating moments of tantrums and throwing things and disobeying but all around she’s pretty great. I don’t want to forget the funny or cute things she says, and thus a new series is born.

After I put a new adorable outfit on her…
Me: Go show daddy how cute you look.
Meredith: (strutting toward him) wookit my cute!

Talking about our plans for the day…
Me: So Mimi is going to pick you up from school and take you to see Pappy later!
Meredith: But no Gigi, Gigi home hedden wit Gah (heaven with God).

At my parents’ house…
Me: Can Grammy change your diaper?
Meredith: Yeah show Grandy da boo-boo on my butt!

When the “Jessie” theme song came on and I started singing to it…
Meredith: (holding her hand up to my face) Not you, mommy.

In the waiting room for the doctor where a little kid & his mom (who had short hair) were right next to us…
Meredith: (pointing at the woman) Daddy!
Me: No, daddy’s at home.
Meredith: (clearly pointing at the woman) A man! A man!
Me: Oh is that a little boy with his mommy?
Meredith: A daddy!
Me: (intently watching TV, ignoring the situation)

Just hanging out in her room…
Me: What’s daddy’s name?
Meredith: Daddy!
Me: What’s mommy’s name?
Meredith: Mommy!
Me: What’s baby brother’s name?
Meredith: Uh…Cici!
Me: …
Meredith: Wanna go to Cici’s! (a local pizza place)

When I was in the shower and she kept opening the curtain, and then I looked out to catch her drinking a can of soda (that she had brought in there)…
Meredith: (looking guilty and mad, pointing at the shower) go to bath!
