Funny Girl

Brinley makes me laugh! She is doing the funniest little things lately that I just don't want to forget so I'm writing them down now while they're fresh in my brain.

As of about two months ago she has become very interested in Disney movies. Her favorites as of now are Lion King, Enchanted, and Beauty and the Beast. She has watched them so many times that sometimes I catch her, while she is playing, reinacting parts of the movies. For example:

A few nights ago at dinner I gave her a bowl of green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. She pulled out one the tomatoes, looked at it and said "Hakuna Matata" then she slurped it up and after she swallowed said, "Slimy yet satisfying."

Then one night when I was watching her play outside I noticed her lying down in a patch of grass on her side holding a dandy lion up in the air. I could tell she was singing something, but couldn't hear, so I went over closer and heard her singing, "And for once it might be grand to have someone understand. I want so much more then they have planned..." That's from Beauty and the Beast for those who don't know.

She is becoming a good big sister. The other day I had made Julianne a bottle and set it on the table where she was sitting in her bouncer fussing because she was hungry. Brinley was eating lunch at the table and I ran in my room quick to grab a burp cloth. While I was in my room I suddenly didn't hear any crying anymore and rushed back to see why and I saw this. Brinley ended up feeding her most of the bottle. It was so sweet to see.


Whenever Julianne is crying Brinley goes over and kisses her on the head and says "Don't worry, Daddy will be home soon."

On Saturday Greg had a school function in the morning. Brinley was eating breakfast and saw him put on his back pack and she quickly got off her chair and said "I need to get my backpack like Dad." She came back wearing her back pack so she could be just like her daddy.


Sometimes this little nugget can really get me frustrated. She definitely is in her terrible two faze of life and just when I think I can't take it anymore she seems to do something that makes me laugh or smile and suddenly she is all worth it again. I just love her!!!
