21-22 months...

I haven't done a lot of "What Clayton is doing at ____ age" in a while...so I thought I would fill in a few blanks!

Here are a couple of funny sentences that she has created in the last couple of days. On Saturday, Mark made her a Minnie-Mouse pancake because she didn't want a Mickey one. Do you think she figured out that she would get more chocolate chips with Minnie because of the bow? Anyway, we were sitting at her picnic table with her while she was eating her pancake and fruit and she got this astonished (and dramatic) look on her face. I really don't know where she comes up with this stuff...her daddy and I are sooo laid back?!?! Anyway, she said, "Guys, my Minnie Mouse pancake is looking at me!" We thought, wow, that's a lot of words!

Today we were having snack time when she woke up from her nap...again, at her little picnic table! I had put my head on her table, and she said, "No, Mommy, don't you stick your head on my picnic table!" That is 11 words...at one time!!!

Other favorite phrases...this is delicious...really tasty!
Everything is "Super-Duper"
She also likes to answer with "okay, sure, why not!"

She loves "Little Gym" and she singing the "Pat the Mat" song. Keldan goes to gym with us...and we can't talk about gym without added Keldan, Aunt Starla, and Uncle Grant to the conversation!

I just wanted to jot these down before I forget...hopefully I can get some pictures posted about our "Super Duper" summer really soon!!!

High Five...Shimmy Shake...and "Mines Horsie"

I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks...I have some cute pictures...but for now, I will just put a couple of stories down before I totally FORGET!!!

The other day Clayton started saying "High Five...Shimmy Shake!" We thought maybe it was something that her Mamaw had been doing with her...but then we were watching the ONE AND ONLY Strawberry Shortcake...and they do a little "High Five, Should Bump, Hip Thump, Shimmy Shake!" It is sooo cute...and that was what she was doing!!! She is a little sponge and remembers everything!!!

Her other thing she is loving to do right now is "Lemme read you a story!" So she gets a book and puts it RIGHT in her face. She says (about 3 times), "Lemme read you a story...Once a time, there a pincess, Clayton, Mommy, Dada...Okay, I all done!" She also has a variation with CareBears...it is sooo cute!!!


So for the past couple of weeks, we have been leaving our neighborhood a different direction to get to Sublett. At the end of this "new" path is a house across the street with some "animals." Make no mistake, Clayton has been on many a "ride" down the oil-top roads to see "reindeer," "moos," "horsies," and "donkeys." She always does a great job of telling them apart. For some reason, at this house, the "animals" are a little more difficult to distinguish?!?! The first time we saw them, she said, "Hey, Mommy, look it's a horsie." I told her, "No, Clayton, I think that is a donkey, sweetheart." (Her response) "No, Mommy, it's a horsie...it's my horsie..."

So literally every day, she looks at the house to see if "her horsie" is there...and the little pumpkin REALLY thinks this "horsie" is hers. One day, I told her again that I thought it was a donkey and she said, "No, I ask Bittons when he gets her, and he tell me!"

Many times, it isn't there...and I get the "Oh, no, my horsie's gone...where is he...I find him...let's go." And again, she REALLY thinks it is hers! (Side note: There is a horse place right down the block from our house that has 20-25 horses in a big fenced in area that we have to go by 5 times a day so she can see the horsies...one of the horses just had a baby...so she is also obsessed with her "baby horsie") Anyway...Today, we were on our way to WalMart, and we drove by this house, and it had two "horsies" in front of it...Clayton said, "Oh, look, it's my horsies, there out here...I see 'em!!!" I replied, "I think they are donkeys, sweetheart!" And she said, "Yeah, maybe so!" It was so funny the way she said it...she finally got to see them close enough that she knew they weren't horses...

Outside...Yesterday!!!

Yesterday, we had a "cool" front come in...Clayton wanted to go outside at 9:00 sooo bad...but it wasn't even 60 degrees yet!!! We told her it was too cold outside, but she kept begging to go outside...she finally came up with this attire!!! She found a Dora hat to go along with her pjs and light up sketchers! She thought that surely if she put on a hat and some socks and shoes that she would be warm enough to go outside...so...we gave in...

Below are my little gangster pictures...she is such a cutie pie!!!

Do you see that foot...almost touching the red brick...she knows she isn't allowed to touch that part because it is so close to the pool...but she was testing her boundaries!!!

My little drama baby!!! I had no idea how much drama girls could have!!! We have several friends who have boys that are Clayton's age, and none of them have the drama that we have on a daily basis!!!

I guess she got over it!!!
