First of all, my parents have a Luau every summer. We were in the back part of their yard and Callie was playing. I ran to the house for something and Brandon was watching her. There were a ton of people there and as I was walking back to the yard, Brandon was heading toward me. In a split second he had lost track of where she was and he was running to find her. The yard is fenced in, but they have a pool, so he of course panicked. It was a total of about 15 seconds that she was out of sight before we found her in the play house/gravel pit at the front part of the yard. I said..."Callie, if you are going to leave daddy you need to tell him first. You almost gave him a heart attack and we need to keep him around!" She just looked at me, threw her hands out to the side and exclaimed, "I'm a princess!!!". Oh. My. Goodness.
Secondly, the other day, Brandon had just got home from work and he was cuddling with her on the couch. He said "You are my beautiful girl!" and she just looked at him, tilted her head and started batting her eyelashes. Where does she learn this stuff?
The last thing was just tonight. She's obsessed with shoes and she changes her shoes dozens of times a day. She wears everyone's shoes! We got home today and the first thing she did was change into her blue flip flops that my dad bought her a few weeks ago. She climbed up on my lap and this was our conversation:
Me: "You changed your shoes already?!"
Callie: "I wike dees shoes!"
Me: "Who got you those shoes?"
Callie: "My Pappy did."
Me: "Do you love your Pappy?"
Callie: "Yep"
Me: "He's pretty alright, huh?"
Callie: "NO! I'm pretty!"
Something tells me that we are going to have our hands full with this one!
