Terrible Twos

Lexi's terrible twos are in full swing.  Here are a couple of things that have happened lately showing Lexi's attitude.

I was telling Lexi not to color in a book and she just looked at me and continued to color in it.  I told her again and very matter of factly she said to me “Don’t talk to me mom”.

Another time Lexi threw her cup on the floor when she was done.  I told her to pick it up and she said “Um, no.  You do it”.  Then I started to sing and Lexi said “Don’t sing mom”.  Well excuse me!

Yesterday Lexi was sitting on the couch and Steve was in the kitchen.  Lexi asked him for more milk in her sippy cup while remaining seated on the couch.  Steve told her to bring her cup over so he could fill it up.  Lexi threw the cup on the floor right in front of her and Steve said "No, bring it over to me" and Lexi replied while pointing to her cup on the floor "There it is Dad.  You can get it."  She never did bring it to him so she didn't get more milk.

For the past couple of years we have written down some of the funny things Addison has said.  We recently started writing down Lexi's funny words.  During sacrament meeting today Steve whispered to Lexi "We need to think of Jesus when we eat the bread and water.  Can you think of Jesus?"

Lexi looked around and said “There’s no Jesus here.”

After she took the bread she said “That Jesus bread was yummy.”
