Riley:(Sees an inflatable snowman out the car window) Hi! (S)nowman. (waving). Mommy:(laughing)That's nice Riley Riley: (as we're pulling into the driveway, still waving) Hi, hi (s)nowman. (her voice lowers slightly) Hi, Riley! Mommy: (laughing harder) Riley: Did you hear the (s)nowman say hi? Mommy: Yes, what a friendly snowman.
Riley was being very two the other day. Finally I made her look at me and asked her to be a good listener. Mommy: Riley, be a good girl. You know what? Santa only brings toys to the good girls who listen to their mommies. You want Santa to bring you toys, don't you? Riley: Gonna be good, yeah. Santa bring toys, yeah. Sometime later Mommy: Riley that's not nice! Mommy doesn't like that. Santa doesn't like that. What does Santa like? Riley: Reindeer! Although she missed my point she wasn't wrong.
She's very clever: Using a deeper voice to play the part of the (s)nowman greeting... I love that.
