Recently, Darby has been extra hilarious. She is so strong-willed at 3 years old, it fills me with trepidation for the teenage years. She’s a tricky little cuss, too. The other day, I was sitting at the table and she was laying on a chair in the living room. I could see her from where I was seated and she called out to me with a pitiful look on her face. “Mom, I need you!” Now, she says this frequently, but there was a tone of distress in her voice, so I rushed over to find out what was wrong. I said, “Baby, what do you need?” She sat up and said, “I need you…to get out of your chair!” She then jumped off of her chair and ran to sit in mine! I couldn’t believe it. Outsmarted by a 3 year old. Again. The other day, she was on a roll with the funny things she was saying. Frankie got home from work and she rushed into his arms and said, “Daddy! I missed my car.” Later, Frankie kissed her and told her that he loved his daughter. Darby crinkled her brow into a stink-eye and said, “I’m not Daughter, I’m Darby!” Finally, we were all playing and I pretended to hit Frankie (yes, pretended). Darby put her hand on my arm, as though to hold me back, and said, “Don’t touch Dad! He’s my sister.”She is currently kicking the wall as hard as she can. Not really sure why.
p.s. her bottom teeth are not discolored, as they appear in this picture. i used the webcam, so that's why it looks weird. just for the record :).
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice her teeth. You are in such big trouble in the coming years if she's already outsmarting you. In fact, I'm a little scared to visit what if she's mean to me and takes my chair? I don't think I'm emotionally ready to be outsmarted by either of my nieces.
ReplyDeleteDoing a little blog hoppin'--
ReplyDeleteLove the stories!
You have very cute family!
WOW - She is smart! Continue to take those college courses. They have to help sooner or later. But she is super cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, you better watch out for that little darling! Glad to see she is full of fun and spunk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little smarty Darby is. Kevin and I are always asking our little ones to repeat what they say because they do say some interesting things.
ReplyDeleteI always suspected that Frank was actually Darby's sister....=) That is a super cute picture! Kacey always said the funniest things when she was 3! She still says funny stuff, but I always forget by the time I want to tell someone.
