Ivy was playing with Kezie's scooter in the living room. She grabbed some earbuds and attached them to the handles as speakers. "Kezie, let's plug this baby in!"
She saw a picture of an iron somewhere. I have no idea how she made this connection, but she said, "That's a funny way to make grilled cheese."
Ivy's vocabulary is developing more quickly than her ability to pronounce words. When I don't understand how to do something, she reminds me to read the "instrunkins." She can put her shoes on "easy-lee." She likes to eat "crackas" (crackers). In her words, "I love vocab-a-larry!"
Last week Ivy and I picked Shawn up from work and went to grab lunch. We had been waiting a minute at the drive-through window, when Ivy said, in a perfect impression of me when I'm annoyed: "Open the door, lady!"
Ivy: Ivy
Me; what is your full name?
Ivy: Ivy Averett
Me: what is my full name?
Ivy: Mommy Averett
I got home from work and told her I missed her. She said, "No, I missed you, mommy, and I wished you could be here with us." I am "her favorite Mommy," her "best mommy ever" and just simply "the best".
Ivy is always pretending to be an animal. Her favorite is a kitty. She also loves to be a puppy (one that doesn't lick people), a penguin, or last week, "I is pretending to be a goat. A goat makes a sound like, 'clip clop clip clop."
When driving out to Uncle Mike and Aunt Jamee's house, which is surrounded by farms, Ivy shouted, "Hay!"
"Hey, what?"
"Cow Hay! The cows are eating the hay!"
Ivy loves to build and to watch people build things. She loves robots, machines, and anything with buttons. Shawn wanted to watch Robot Combat League with her. I was asking about the age appropriateness off the show, and Shawn said something about "robot violence." We didn't even realize Ivy was listening, but she piped up with, "I love robot violence!" They did watch an episode or two, and Ivy did love it. She enjoys her daddy time.
