Underpants!

Violet is being so cute right now. We're trying out underpants! She is running around the apartment in Elmo underpants, three necklaces, and her purple crocs. I have the timer set so every hour it dings and we try to go to the potty. Nothing yet, but she gets one chocolate chip every time she tries, and she'll get 5 if she goes pee and 10 for a poop! Ha ha ha! She says "Peeeee! Five chokit chips!" when she is on it, to try and fool me. but I am not fooled. She has to get up so I can check. There's still dust inside the potty. Somebody told me about a lady who gave her son a Matchbox car every time he went poop on the potty and one day he managed to go 12 times. Wow.

I'm in the living room, she's in the bedroom. I think I'll type what she's saying.

"Thanks! Thanks! Thanks you, thank you. Cake! Is cake! Cuck [this means "cut] cake, want piece. One piece, two piece. No! My piece, no your piece. I put my picture..mm mmm. Mom? I put on my shirt, mommy!" oh wait, she wants me. She wants a shirt.

Actually, she wanted a dress. I got her the dress, the purple one with red spots, and she said "Raisins, please."

"Do you want them in your monkey bowl?"

"No, little box." Months ago I bought a bag of little raisin boxes, and I've been refilling them from the bulk bag ever since.

Listen to this cool thing she said yesterday. I was making a list of people who love her "And Granddaddy loves you, and Gaga, and Nonna and Mimi..." and she mentioned Cassie from Dragon Tales "Oh, does Cassie love you?" I asked. She wrinkled her nose and laughed and said "No, on TV."

"Meaning she's far away or not real?"

"Not real," she said, laughing. Is that kind of advanced? To know the difference between fantasy and reality? I don't know if she does, I just thought this was weird.
