We taught Tempess to apologize when she did something wrong and now the following conversation is common place in our house.
Todd: TEMPESS!!!
Temi: I sorry Daddy, it's ok. I sorry. I not do that. I luh zhou!
I guess now we have to teach her to only apologize if she truly is remorseful.
Tempess has reached a stage where only Mommy can do everything. Daddy can't do it. Regardless of what it is.
Unless it's skate. Then in that case, "Mommy you can't skate. Your foot hort. You stay here and me and Daddy go so you don't hort your foot."
How thoughtful!
Todd (To Tové): Baby, you're being difficult.
Temi: Ma, Baby diffcult.
Me: Tempess, do you even know what difficult means?
Temi: Yeah.
Me: What does difficult mean?
Temi: (Pauses for a second) Uhhh diffcult!

Tempess had just finished peeing in the potty when she tried to empty the tray into the toilet. Not wanting her to spill pee everywhere, I simply said, "That's okay. Mommy will do it." To which she looked me square in the eye, stomped her foot and loudly proclaimed, "Mommy I got this!"
Recently, we were at Erica's when lunchtime rolled around. Determined to keep playing, Temi engaged me in the following conversation:
Me: Tempess sit down.
Temi: Mama, noooooo.
Me: Tempess, it's time to eat. Sit down.
Temi: Ow, poop, Mama, poop.
Me: You pooped?
Temi: Poop. Poop.
Me: Come here. Let me see.
*Temi grins, turns around, backs up and shows me an empty diaper.*
Who taught her that?
"Baby! That's baby," grins Temi everytime Tové stirs. Then she tries to kiss her, rub her head or back or feed her chips. She has even tried to help me nurse.
I think she deserves Big Sister of the Year!
