What did she say?

So you know how some kids have like lisps?  Like their R's sound like W's or whatever.  It's so cute, at least when they're little.
Anyway, Eggy kind of has one.  Sometimes, her S's sound like D's.  She was talking to her dad about Snow White and it kept sounding like Do-white and her dad kept thinking she was saying Dwight.  And we were at the market one time and she kept talking about "dodges" and I had no idea what she was saying.  I finally figured out she was saying sausages.  But today?  This one takes the cake.
So Eggy and her appah were at the park.  Sometimes, she likes to collect sticks at the park and give them to us.  Anyway, they're getting ready to leave and Eggy notices that appah does not have the stick that she so carefully and thoughtfully picked out for him.  So she yells, "Where's your big stick, appah?"  Of course, when she said it, stick sounded like something else.  And her dad says, "I don't need it."  And she gets more upset, yelling even louder, "Yeah, you need it!  You need your big stick!  Where is it?"  If there was no one else at the park, it wouldn't be so bad but of course, there was another dad there with his two kids.  And the hubs doesn't embarrass too easily but he said he could feel himself turning red, especially since she kept yelling louder and louder about his missing big stick.

And the award goes to...

I'm not 100% sure if she really was faking or not.  I feel a little bad.  I guess I should be nominated for Meanest Mommy of the Year.  If she really was pretending, it's a little scary how well she faked it.  Hope she only uses her powers for good, and not evil.  

A Bedtime Story

Once upon a time, there was a pig.  A tiny pig.  And he eat some bok choy and cheese and bok choy and some more broccoli and some more broccoli and more broccoli and some noodle cheese (string cheese).  And some billy goats and some meatballs and some eggs.  And he grow taller to be a pig.  A BIG pig.  Yay.  And he live happily ever after.  The end.

In related bedtime news, I'm super excited that Eggy has been going to sleep BY HERSELF for the past few weeks.  This is awesome.  I read her a book, tell her a story, sing a song and then it's GOOD NIGHT!  And she goes to sleep.  Sometimes, she rolls around or just kind of sits there for a little while but I (or the hubs) no longer have to stay with her until she falls asleep.  When she's ready, she just lies down and goes to sleep.
The whole thing started when Eggy threw the biggest tantrum last month.  It's kind of my fault because I took her to park when we couldn't stay long because it was almost naptime.  Anyway, when I told her we had to leave, she had a fit.  Like the biggest fit I've ever seen her have.  Eggy is usually very good and rarely ever has tantrums.  I mean she gets attitude or moody sometimes but nothing major.  There was screaming and crying and she even hit me once.  Luckily, there weren't too many people at the park.  And I was more pissed than embarrassed.  It was like over 80 degrees (in January!) and I have to carry her scooter, her helmet, and a screaming toddler.  Oh, and I'm like 7 months pregnant.  Not fun.  So when we finally got home, we talked about it and I told her that I was very upset with her.  And that it was naptime and I was not going to read her any books or tell any stories and she was going to go to sleep by herself because I was still upset with her and I didn't want to sleep with her.  BUT that I would leave her door open a little bit and I would be right outside if she needed me.  She tearfully told me okay and good night (which almost made me cry).  But she didn't cry and she went to sleep.  And we did the same thing that night but I told her a story and all that.  I just said good night and I would be outside if she needed me.  There were a few times later in the week where she'd cry a little bit, saying that she wanted me but I was firm even though it was hard.  I could have just gave in to her tears but I know when Baby #2 comes, I'm not going to have the time to be laying down with her for every nap or bedtime.  And so far, it's been great!  I just hope I didn't jinx it.  

Happy Valentine's Day!

A big kiss from my valentine, Eggy!

Out with the old

Yesterday when we were leaving my parents' house, my dad was standing outside and Eggy was saying, "Bye habuji!" from inside the car.  Obviously, he couldn't hear her so Eggy says, "Habuji no hear me.  How come Habuji no hear me?"

Me:  Because you're in the car and the windows are up and harabuji is outside.  So he cannot hear you.

Eggy: Oh.

Me:  Plus, he's old and he can't hear that well anyway.  

Eggy:  Habuji is old.  Let's throw him away.  

Me:  What?  (not sure if I heard right)

Eggy:  Throw him away.  

A minute later...

Eggy:  Halmuni not old.  She's new.  

Hello 2012!

Hope everyone's holidays were happy.  It went by so fast, no?
Here's a recap of some of our good times.

Saying hi to Santa at California Adventure before our passes expired :(

Visiting Santa officially

The ornament she picked out this year

We bought this Gingerbread Man Kit from Trader Joe's because I'm way too lazy to make it from scratch. I helped her decorate.  Basically, she told me where she wanted to put the candy bits and I squeezed the frosting for her.  She did pretty good.  

But she definitely enjoyed eating it more than decorating.  She ended up picking off all the chocolate candy and left the rest of the cookie.  

Some more holiday eats.  

Eggy's also been enjoying the holiday music.  Her favorites:  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Feliz Navidad.  

Eggy asked to have her nails painted.  I asked her if she wanted to do Christmas colors, red and/or green.  "No.  I want o-dange."

She only wanted me to paint one hand.  That's because she wanted to paint the other hand herself.  

Last year, Eggy enjoyed opening her presents but I don't know if she understood that the presents were for her.  This year, she didn't care who the presents were for; she wanted to open all of them.  She barely looked at her own gifts because she was too busy trying to open everyone else's gifts.  "Oh!  Rapunzel!  What's next?!  Let's open this one!!"  

There was one gift for my sister that was in a big box.  Eggy kept wanting to open it.  I told her no, that it was for her eemo.  She said, "Okay, I open it with Eemo.  She share with me.  I get a big present because I'm a big girl now."  Huh, if you were such a big girl, how come you don't go to sleep by yourself?

Opening presents at halmuni and harabuji's on Christmas Eve

Can you believe her Christmas pajamas from last year still fit?

Celebrating The Rock's birthday

It's hard to say what her favorite gift was this year.  She's really enjoying her tool set from SokSok but she also likes to wear her Rapunzel crown from Auntie K while she's "fixing" things.  So girly and so butch, haha.  And she thinks her new camera from GooGoo is hilarious.  And the only present that gave Eggy pause in her wild unwrapping spree at my parents' house was the Rapunzel nightgown/costume.  In her haste to try it on, she ended up pulling her underwear down with her pants.  Whoops!

"I'm a princess!"

Scooter from Santa

Still getting the hang of it

With Baby Dos on the way, I know 2012 is going to be a crazy year.  But I'm looking forward to it.  As long as we have our family, friends, health, and home, I can't ask for much.  I'm a lucky girl.  

Our Holiday Card

So I totally wasn't going to send out Christmas cards this year for a bunch of reasons.  Eggy appah's camera is busted.  I'm too lazy.  And we're too cheap.  BUT!  I was able to get it done at Costco for super cheap and super quick so I present to you....

Why yes, that is Mr. Fast and Furious.  Do you like our coordinating outfits?  Yes, we totally planned that.

I know.  Sometimes, I have too much time on my hands.  But tell me you're not jealous.  Sigh, he was totally my white boy crush during college.  Can you tell how close I was trying to get to him (see how squished cozy Eggy looks)?
Anyway, I told Eggy that we were going to take a picture with her new daddy.  Later, when I was looking at the picture again, Eggy says, "Look!  It's Eggy, umma, and new daddy."
Then, before bedtime, Eggy was playing with her dad.  She has this new game where she calls him an ugly triceratops.  (I may have given her that idea.  How was I to know that it would stick?!)  So I asked her if she thought her appah was handsome or ugly.  "Ugly!"  Oh well, that's not very nice.  Okay, how about new daddy?  Is he handsome or ugly?  "Handsome!"  Girl knows what she likes.
