Patoochiecake Adventures: Living up to her rep!

She’s definitely learning the toddler ropes and living up to her reputation. Here’s a few of her toddler-y moments recently

Kris: Give Mommy a kiss, Mika!
Mika: (stops building her marble race tower and looks at me) No. Busy Mika. One minute (while raising her index finger).

Since when?! Busy?! She’s really loving the 1 minute line and the busy Mika line. Every time you ask her to do something she says she’s BUSY! :s

Mika: Mommy? (flashing a smile while attempting to drop a picture frame behind the bed)
Kris: No, Mika. Don’t drop that!
Mika:  (drops it anyway)
Kris: Why did you do that?! I told you not to!
Mika:  (moves closer to me and starts singing the Barney song, “I love you! You love me! Mommy?” and then flashes the widest grin in the world!)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mika: Look, Mommy, puppies!
Kris:Mika say, “Hi Buddy! Hi Barney!” (those are the pups’ names)
Mika: (gives me a weird look) No, Mommy. Say “Hi puppy!”

Barney is a dinosaur nga naman eh. Si Mommy talaga! :p

We were role playing with her toy castle last week, copying a story from Pocoyo (a British-sounding Disney Channel cartoon – her favorite). So we had Mommy Princess, Daddy Prince, several horses, a couch, some plants and a treasure box. I pretended I found treasure.

Kris: Mika! Look! I found treasure! (pronounced tre-zhoor)
Mika: (showing me the treasure box) No, Mommy. Tre-zhah! Like Pocoyo! Tre-ZHAH!

Nyahaha! So now everyone in the house says it that way :p

We were sitting on the couch, watching Cars. She’s been hooked on the Motherhood Babies Car Craze lately :p Anyway, since the F1 race was coming up, I decided to practice our cheer with her. During the first part of Cars where they were showing the race, the following conversation occurred:

Kris: Mika! Let’s Cheer! Say, “Go Ferrari!”
Mika: No, Mommy.
Kris: Come on! Say, “Go Ferrari!”
Mika:No Ferrari! Cars only. Go Lightning!

Oo nga naman. There’s no Ferrari naman in Nascar eh :p
