The premonition

The other night I organized the cabinets and threw away a bunch of expired stuff. Then I made Jon come look and made him give the requisite amount of compliments. Then I pointed out that I found a couple small bags of cheetos. (Jon likes them!) Jon said, "that's funny, the first thought I had when you said cheetos was of Aimee with orange all over her face." So I asked if it was a flashback or a premonition. We didn't know, but we laughed at the thought.

Fast forward to the next morning, there is an empty bag of cheetos on the table. Aimee's face has traces of orange. Then Katie shows me the picture she took on my camera:

Orange Face Caught!

 Later I was washing my hands and I looked at the hand towel, and it was covered in orange. She wiped her face! You might think she was just trying to clean up, but I know her. She was hiding the evidence.

An Aimee Photo Essay

May:

It started like this.(The "Mommy Accidentally Takes a Nap and Wakes Up to a Huge Mess" Incident #37)

Aimee loved sleeping on the floor.
She doesn't get to any more. Why? We had to throw away her rug.

(The "Mommy Accidentally Takes a Nap and Wakes Up to a Huge Mess" Incident #38)

This is the only photographic evidence of the mess. This one involved painting the walls with poop, and I really would like to clear that from my memory forever.
I had to do about four loads of laundry to wash everything that was in her room, including the babies. When I threw them in the washer I had to take a picture because it looked so creepy.

Aimee found a headband, and put it on like this.
Adorable. She wore it for two days straight.

The girls ran up to me one day and told me they were ready to go. This is what they looked like:
Also Adorable.

And finally, I was straightening my hair, and Aimee came and asked me what I was doing. So I straightened her hair too.
My real life troll doll.

She is a pain, and makes messes, and hits me when she's mad, but she's also the goofiest, cutest, silliest two year old, and I love her so much. I wouldn't change her at all.
(Okay, maybe an aversion to poop would be nice.)

Aimee-isms

pooky = spooky (as in pooky monsters)
spider-wib = spider
What's happening? = every time she hears a noise
It's not my favorite = when she doesn't want something
My eye is mean! = she got something in her eye
That's not fair! = always used in a way that doesn't make any sense
I'm a kitty = roughly 100x per day
