A blast into the not so distant past brings me to my oldest and sometimes most challenging daughter. I love my girls and they bring equal amounts of joy and frustration into our lives.
Here's Trin in 2009. Not so many years ago but when you look at the change in her from this pic to last year's school pic you will be shocked. Most of the following statements were made between the ages of 3 and 7.
I apologize to the people who are mentioned in her ravings. Like my lovely sister in law Nicole and my brother Greg aka Uncle Bubba.
The Things that Trinity says:
“When I get bigger my woo-hoos will get big and then I can feed Piper too.” Shortly after Piper was born and Trinity witnessed breastfeeding.
“Honey Kitty’s a mommy, because she has drinkers.” Again a post Piper birth statement.
“It’s okay because it’s all your fault.” Typical woman thought :)
“When I get to be a big boy like mommy I will have babies in my tummy too.” Gender confusion...come on we've all experienced it.
“What’s wrong with you dumb ass?” she said to Uncle Bubba. Haven't we all asked that about my brother at one point or another? Sorry Bubba you know we completely love you. Just remember you were the first one to fall over laughing.
“I don’t want to play with the horse, but don’t throw it out because I haven’t broke it yet.”
“Come on little boy…” In reference to Gavin mind you it was like she was trying to coax a dog to her side. If he was smart he didn't come near her.
“You don’t talk me like that.” Repeaters. Damn kids throwing your words back at you.
“Clean up your room.” Daddy says “No because I am playing with this one.” Trinity says back. Okay this sounds like it just happened last week.
“I to little.” Or “I to scared.” For a time she wouldn't do anything by herself, not even turn a page in a book.
“You can’t do that to people it will hurt their feelings and break their heart.” Very wise words. Too bad this lesson didn't stick.
“You’re ruining my life.” Again I think was said to me just last week.
“We’re not a normal family because we don’t have a family picture.” SAY WHAT?
“I can have baby kitties too.” Ohhhhh baby girl you are really confused now.
Grandma Lieber says “Trinity you have to put on your listening ears.”
Trinity says, “But Grandma my listening ears went to bed last night and they aren’t awake yet.”
“My brain tells me what to do! I wish I could throw it way!” Yeah well mommy wishes hers would come back.
Bubba says. “What’s for dinner Cole?”
Nicole says. “I don’t know.”
Trinity says. “It doesn’t matter Cole can’t cook anyway.” We all need to watch what we say. The last time we had been all together Bubba had said that Nicole couldn't cook to Trinity. Since then I know for a fact she cooks and does it well too.
NOW HERE'S MY GIRL!
Things that come from her head are not so funny anymore...its more slap stick comedy since she grew about 3 inches over the summer and has begun stumbling over big feet and long legs. Okay and now she wants to make a blog....that won't happen for a long time. "GRRRR MOMMY!"
