The Polite Man-Eating Monster

This house has gotten a whole lot more graphic this past week.

My legs get "eaten" off on a daily basis.

Honestly, my daughter is equally as much of a girly girl as she is a little tom-boy. She's a whiney, gruesome, rough and divalicious kid. Yeah. That pretty much sums it up.

One day she can be dancing around in a dress doing ballet moves and having tea parties. The next she's playing with trains, trucks and dinosaurs or pretending to use tools. Im not saying only those things are for boys or girls. She's just very diverse in her world of exploration. And Im perfectly okay with that.
But what really puts a smile on my face, is this:

1) Her manners. She makes sure to say "Peese?" and "Kank you!" for absolutely everything. This completely melts me.
2) She puts on this "mean" face, shows her teeth and makes a little growl. This is followed by a friendly dive to one of our legs. Then she pretends to eat us while make some pretty awesome and monstrous eating noises. When she's all done she lets out this pathetic attempt for a pretend burp. This is then followed by a big 'O' face and she says "oh, scuse you!" And like any regular human, this polite little monster gets the hiccups. Which she calls "hipots" (hilarious!).


Seriously, this is such a fun age! Her imagination seems to grow at a colossal rate each day. New words and phrases every day. Im so proud.
