New Underwear for Christmas!!

My mom always buys her Granddaughters underwear for Christmas.... she always did for me & Katie, and the tradition carries on. We all know the underwear is coming, but I guess Addison wasn't aware of this tradition. Addison opened her present with her new underwear and got SO excited she immediately stripped off her jeans, socks and underwear (in front of everyone) and put on a new pair! It was cute to see someone so excited for their new underwear. :) Mom says she'll never give Addison new underwear again!! Guess we could have killed the underwear tradition YEARS ago if we would have shown such enthusiasm for the gift!

Naked

Lots of times during the day Addison runs around naked-- and I always say "you're running around naked"-- which I have never explained what "naked" is.... tonight while I was making supper Addison wanted a MILLION things from me and I was kinda ignoring her and just kept walking to and from the refrigerator, the stove, etc.... all of a sudden she says "quit running around naked!" :)

Grow

Matt's mom gave me an amarylis for Christmas-- I planted it on Sunday morning and now we just have to wait for it to grow. I had it just sitting on the counter by the sink-- no where special. During lunch today Matt decided to move the pot onto the table so we could watch it grow. He explained to Addison that it was going to grow very tall and we could watch it. After lunch is over it's time for nap time. She finished up and we said okay-- you need to go lay down and she said "No-- I need to watch that grow".

Too Many

When Addison wants something-- and wants a lot she calls it "Too Many". So, when she asks for raisins or cookies or animal crackers (especially the chocolate ones) she always says-- "I want too many _____"
One day my dad was holding up fingers and asked her how many they were-- one, two, and then he held up 3 fingers and she said "too many"!!
