January 2011

1st
Amie insists on calling the Wii nunchuks "nukkas". "I can't play bowling, it's got a nukka in!"

11th
Amie's learning a lot more about flooding and emergencies now than I had planned on.
(this was due to the floods that devastated the north and south sides of our city)

***

I have some cupcakes leftover from the weekend, and I've just noticed that Amie's gone through and licked off all the icing on the mini cupcakes she could get her hands on. Cheeky devil.

What? You mean this isn't how you wear them?

13th
Amie is building a "flood" out of my DVD collection. This involves lining them all up in rows across the living room floor.

14th
When playing Wii sports with Amie, she's very supportive. When I play Super Mario, she's all DIE DIE DIE! FALL OFF THE EDGE!

She also doesn't always want her photo taken.

***

I told Amie I was going to do some cleaning because it was driving me nuts. Her response? "But I don't see any nuts!"

15th
Love how Amie gets "gunnarballs" in bowling. It sounds so much better than gutterballs.

16th
and for those who've never heard Amie's name said Amie rhymes with Sammy, not like Amy. And lately when I call her Amethyst, she calls me Mummythyst. I knew that was coming :)

Dancing at my birthday party.

18th
Amie would like to post an update: ok Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk njuytgvfsaqwexzcvbnmcfttghfd1234567890--/:;()()$&@.,?!!'•#%^^*+=juju bvt 

19th
I told Amie it was time to clean up. She told me "no, I think we can play the Wii and clean up later."

She knows what's what.

She chose this outfit herself, I swear. It actually worked well for a hot summer's day.

She also discovered how much more fun it was to spray herself and other children with water from the tap than drink from it.

22nd
Hmm. I just found Amie trying to send an sms to my friend Leoma. I wonder if they're plotting behind my back?

***

Amie: Mummy! Get back in the kitchen!

I'm barefoot and not pregnant...but I think someone is stuck in the 50s. 

24th
Amie shenanigans: 1) She picked up the True Blood season one DVD and said "EW That's disgusting! She's getting a sausage out of her mouth!" (it was her tongue) and 2) She told me she wanted an ice cream. I told her no. "Don't say no, mummy. Say yes! Yes ice cream mummy!"

I don't even know. She looks constipated, but I swear she's not.

25th
While cleaning up, I found Amie's rooster torch hidden under the couch cover.

Moral of this story?

Be careful where you sit in this house, otherwise you might end up with a cock up your ass..

***

Amie has informed me she would like to eat some yoga. Not yogurt - yoga. Just keep an eye out if you partake in that activity. She might eat you alive.

Also from my birthday party, and I just can't get over how cute she is.

29th
Amie is playing Angry Birds...she's the birds and her toys are the pigs.

***

Amie: *burps*
Me: What do you say?
Amie: Thank you! *cheeky grin*


30th
When I checked on Amie last night, she was cuddling her Hello Kitty alarm clock.

***

Not only is Amie now having showers and LIKING them, she just let me wash her hair under the shower!! This is a HUGE step for her. (she used to scream bloody murder and then vomit any time I dared mention hair washing, until I discovered she was happy to hold a wash cloth over her face to stop the water)

Amie and me walking an elephant. As you do.

31st
It's somewhat scary that Amie's taught herself how to play archery on the Wii...and that she can get bullseyes! What's cute is she's insisting on playing two player, by herself. When she's using my Mii and gets a good shot, she'll say "good shot, mummy!", like it was me who did it. hah :)
