Miss Independent

Brianna's little personality, her likes and dislikes are becoming more and more apparent the older she gets. Here are just a few of her opinions lately:

"Not Veggie Tales!"
When Bree was younger pretty much the only kid-friendly DVD's we owned, that weren't full-length feature films that is, were a few Veggie Tales stories. These are great little stories with good lessons. I guess we may have over-played them though since now, every time we go to put a DVD in for her she yells out, "Not Veggie Tales!" Even if we were nowhere near putting Veggie Tales in. I guess she's just really, really, anti-Veggie Tales right now.

"My crib!"
Not that we want to push her into something she's not ready for, but, since she is 2 1/2 now Travis and I keep talking to Bree about maybe sleeping in a big girl bed soon. In fact, the other day her daddy tried it again and took off the one side of her crib, converting it to a toddler bed. Brianna seemed fairly open to it and actually took a whole nap in it that way. But, when it came to going to bed at night, she was getting frustrated. All her favorite friends kept falling off the edge in the dark. She finally called us in and asked for the railing to be put back on. So, today when naptime rolled around I asked her, "Bree, do you want to sleep in your crib or your big girl bed?" "My crib!" she said definitively. Yup, still not ready I guess.

"Mmm...egg nock (egg nog)!"
As part of our early Christmas decorating this year, to get us in the holiday mood, Travis poured us each a cup of egg nog (the unspiked variety). Bree had never had it before and since it's so rich, I wasn't real sure she'd like it. "You want to try it?" her daddy asked her. She nodded and took a little sip. Then her eyes widened, she said, "Mmmm," and proceeded to pretty much drink the rest of his glass herself. Then this afternoon she suddenly said, "Hey Mom, egg nock please!" "We don't have any more baby, we drank it all yesterday," I told her. "Mom, egg nock. Mmm...egg nock. Let's go to the store and get some!" she declared. We really like egg nock it seems.

Hmm..what next in the list of likes and dislikes I wonder? To be continued.... :)
