"Did she just say what I think she said?" I asked Drew a few nights ago.
And indeed she had.
"MEAN MOMMY!" from my sweet little baby's mouth.
She kept saying it over and over as I ushered her back in her bed. I did my best to try not to laugh because I know soon enough it won't be as funny.
I often brush off Bridget's savvy language skills and survivor intuition because she's the fourth kid. She's got to keep up with the other three as they scooter down the hill at stomachache-inducing speeds.
If no one gets her a snack, she climbs to the top of the pantry and grabs it herself.
And the things she says, well, let's just say I'd turn my head around if I heard it come out of some other 2-year old's mouth.
But I'm starting to think that it's just who she is, my little sparkplug.
And I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering she barreled her way right out of me onto my guest room bed.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Bridgety!

Ouch! You can just imagine what they're thinking sometimes. It's just that they haven't learned the words yet to express themselves.
You know, ahem, sometimes though (cough) kids have the traits that are present in the mother- or the father. So a sassy daughter may sometimes indicate that the mother is just as sassy. lol
Bridget looks like all she's missing is her helmet and sword and she will be ready for the road.

Happy birthday Bridget! What a cutie...My daughter is quite the spark plug too. She hasn't started talking though - I'm kind of scared of what will come out of her mouth once she does.

I also have four kids and my youngest will be 2 next month. Like your Bridget, she constantly amazes me with how smart (and sassy) she is for her age.
And I have moments of amazement -- at myself -- for allowing her to do things I never let the others do. Which is why, she's typically wandering around here with a crayon in her hand, looking for something to color. (I shrug and think, 'It's OK, it's washable.')
Congrats and thanks for the post. I love your Fourth Kid stories.

Happy Birthday!
I swear you can tell their personalities right away sometimes. H was full speed ahead from the start. She picks up all kinds of bad behaviors from us because she just learns so fast. Can't talk yet, but damn can she get her point across. Figures. My water broke early with her and the little snot pushed off on my ribs with her feet to get out. Right from the start, has to get out to go and do stuff. She will NOT be ignored.
