Taelee-ism

We got to church about 30 minutes early last Sunday... 

"Mom, church is taking a really long time LOADING huh?!?!"

Little Miss Taelee Coe...

...or should I say Cinderella, Tiana, Snow White, Jasmin, Belle, Pochahontas, Mulan, Ariel, or Aurora?! This little girl has quite the imagination, and absolutely LOVES princesses! Every day she is a new princess, depending on the color of dress or shirt she is wearing. Then, whatever princess she is that day everything else she uses (cups, plates...ect.) has to be the same color as that princess. She used to get really upset when we would call her Taelee. She would say, "No I'm not Taelee, I'm (whatever princess she was that day)." We wanted to encourage her to play pretend, but wanted her to be happy with being Taelee too. We finally got her to accept that she is Taelee pretending to be a princess. My very favorite thing that she does is "princess twals"! She will do them and then with the sweetest expression on her face say "Oh, look at me Mom! I'm turning into Ariel!" all while doing "princess twals" on her little tippy toes!

I absolutely adore this little girl! She is the light and joy of my life! I am so grateful for her sweet personality! I look forward to her sweet silly phrases every day! I wrote down a couple that I don't want to forget! I love the way she talks. She changes her tone on the last word of her questions, and makes it go higher. It makes me smile every time! She uses such polite sweet words (most of the time, I don't want to give the impression that she is an angel every second, because that would just not be true!), but for the most part she uses the best phrases...

"Thank you Mommy for getting me a blue plate like Cinderella!"

"I love being at Walmart with you Mommy!"

"I would looove to play a game!"

"Can I have some gum please?! Because I've been sooo...good?!...ok sure!"

I said lets go get dressed. She responded, "Oh, that would be beautiful!"

I tried on a dress that my sister sent to me, she looked at me and said, "Oh! That looks pretty mom!"

The other day I was in a hurry trying to get her to eat dinner before I had to feed Kingston. I totally forgot to say a prayer in all the chaos and rush. I tired to give her a carrot, and she stopped me, "No Mom, not before the prayer!" Boy did I feel sheepish!

She came to me the other day, "Mom, will you open my closet please?" I responded sure, "Oh, that would be wonderful!" (I really don't think I have ever used the word wonderful with her before)

The other day she drew a picture of our family...

I thought it was the sweetest thing! She has started drawing really big eyes and adding noses. I LOVE Stephen's hair! After she finished drawing the picture she showed it to Kingston and asked "Do you like my picture?!" He began to cry so she responded, "No, not very much?!"

and my personal favorite, when I ask her to do something or get me something, "I will do that, sure Mommy I will!" If only this one will last throughout her life!

I can't tell you how blessed I feel to be the mother of this sweet little girl! 

What's Going on in her Head?!

Today while Taelee was helping Stephen put away the dishes she decided that her utinsils needed to go somewhere new. She took them out of the droor saying, "I'm going to try something new, see!"

She decided that the entertainment center wasn't the right place so she put them behind the couch.
"See, we need it back here!"

What a Girl

Taelee is such an entertainer! She has been a dress up queen! I don't know why I even bother getting her dressed in the morning because she ends up in her dress up clothes anyway! She is obsessed with princess and calls all of her dress ups her princess clothes. Today she told me, "I have princess arms, and princess hair, and a princess dress!!!" Sunday I put my dress on for church and she came squealing..."Mama, you look like a pretty princess! I love your princess dress!" Stephen always asks me what I created, but I didn't push her to be so into princesses...it just happened! She is constantly talking to a princess on the phone and her conversations usually goes like this, "Hi Cinderella, what you doin'? You going to the ball with the Prince? Ok, love you bunches buy!" She always tells me that a princess is at our house. She will pretend that they are there playing with her. The other day she was using the bathroom and she looked down "Oh, there is Cinderella!" I asked her what she was doing, if she was doing princess twirls, and she looked at me and said, "No Mom, she is doing this (shaking her head and body)". I love her little imagination!!! She LOVES her sunglasses! She will keep them on for HOURS, and she wants to wear them with what ever she is doing. She was wearing them this morning during breakfast and wanted to wear them last night during family home evening. All of these cute things really way out the sassy stinker she can be sometimes!

We sure love our little princess!

She has a small fascination with my bras. She loves to put them on and announces that I am wearing a bra all the time. (This should make for an interesting time when I am breastfeeding!) The other day she was doing princess twirls with it on...what a girl!

Little Artist

Taelee is quite the little artist. She loves to draw and has been doing very good job at drawing people. She drew these a couple weeks ago while my mom was here. She drew some really cute ones of my parents and my grandma, but we sent those home with Nana. The picture of my grandma and was so cute! She was sure to include her little bee beep (a mole on my grandmas chin that we all call her bee beep). It's funny that she remembered it because it's been a while since she's seen her. Taelee sure is entertaining! She told me in the back seat today "Our home is that way, silly Mama!" pointing in the right direction.

I LOVE this picture she drew of Grandma's cat Nala!

This is me...she was sure to include the baby and gave him arms too!

Mother's Nightmare

Yesterday as we were driving I kept hearing Taelee say "mmm...chicken!" She's always gabbing nonsense so I didn't think much of it. That is until I looked around to find her with her finger in her nose and then straight to her mouth!!! I was horrified! I quickly told her that boogies go in tissues and that princesses always use their tissues! Where do they get this stuff?!?!

I'm reluctant to even share this, but I have to remember how she said it. As I was fighting off regurgitating I couldn't help but laugh that she was calling it chicken...YUMMY!

Silly Said by Taelee

My blog isn't going to solely consist of silly said by Taelee, but I just couldn't pass this up, or forget!!!

We were driving in the car and she was playing with her toy phone. "My going to call Jesus! Hi Jesus! Thank you my snacks! They have fruit snacks there?! Yes?! Oh, I love you Jesus! See ya later alligator, have a good day!"

We were sitting by the fire and she said, "Jesus is comin over to play my toy room, YES!"

We sure love this little girl!

Silly Said by Taelee

This morning while I was getting ready Taelee pushed her stool over to the counter. She looked at herself in the mirror and said "Wow! I yook fabulous!"

While she was eating lunch she began folding and rolling her cheese. She started gabbing "My going to roll it in little pieces..YES! Pat it and mark it...YES! and Gonka will eat it with me! YES!" I think this came from Nana doing patty cake on the video cam this morning.

She wanted me to go with her to her room to get some books to read. I was walking down the hall holding her hand and she said, "Yets go hun! Yets get some books hun!" She has been calling me hun a lot more lately!

Silly Said by Taelee

I had to write these things before I forgot. Taelee is coming up with some pretty funny things to say lately. She is going through a little stuttering phase because she is trying to get soooo... much out all at once, and she can't quite get it out fast enough. The stutters make the phrases even funnier at times. We are fairly certain she will some day grow up to be a dictator or something like it with the way she bosses everyone around!

Today I was playing blocks with her. These are the Fisher Price blocks that have different items in them. She loves to make temples and put Moroni on top. As she was assembling her temple she picked up the B block with bananas in it and said this um is Jesus' block. I said, "Oh that one is Jesus'?" "Yes, he can open it." He must be a lot more capable than silly old mom who can't open the blocks...

We were driving home from picking Stephen up from work. Taelee was in the back taking her shoes off (a very regular occurrence) and she started to take her socks off too. Stephen asked her, "Are you going to leave your socks on?!" Taelee looked at him "Um...probably not!"
