I was doing dishes while Audrey was playing on the stairs, but I really wasn't paying too much attention. When I took time to actually look, she had poured out her packet of bunny crackers and was smashing them into the carpet with a big piece of pink sidewalk chalk. I emphatically asked "Audrey, what are you doing?" To which she replied "Making a Big Mess!"
We are talking about necks recently and I asked her what animal has a really long neck, she said "Hmm?" which is what she always says when she is not sure of an answer. So I said," is it a elephant, giraffe or lion?" She said "giraffe", and I said "that's right", and Audrey proclaimed "Good observation Audrey."
Her thoughts on cheese have not changed. Within the past week Audrey has eaten raw bell peppers, spicy chili, mussels and clams out of the shell, uncooked tomatoes (all to our delight) and she always wants to be in the kitchen helping cook, bake and smell everything. Yet if any type of cheese (mild to extreme, soft or hard) gets in her mouth she sticks her tongue out as far as possible and wipes it on the closest object, preferably mommy's sleeve or pant leg.
She has nearly memorized Baby Bear Baby Bear What do You See.
I asked her Sunday night last, what she wanted for dinner and she replied "Gabie and cake!" So Kayleen whipped up a cake and Gabie and clan came over for a Sunday dinner Greek feast.
Getting out of the bath tub after about 30 minutes Audrey proclaimed "Audrey has wrinkly toes, I have wrinkly fingers also, wrinkly hands too." I like that she used too and also in the same sentence.
I am also surprised by her remembrance of Oscar since Oscar died in April when she was only 18 months old. A dog in a car window went by recently and she said "I miss Oscar, Daddy misses Oscar too. He was my dog." Kayleen and I don't really talk about Oscar, much, there a few photos, so I was just stunned that she said it.

She falls asleep praying, at least that is what we think. She is a little angel after all.
