My Li'l Smartass

I wonder where Gwen gets her personality, LOL! All along we've said that she looks just like Tony but has my brain. And it's so true. Lately she's been getting smarter and more articulate. And in that, she's learning to express her own thoughts and feelings and individuality. But she's so somber, so matter-of-fact. She always has been; I don't think she laughed until she was 7 or 8 months old. That's just who she is.

Well as of late, if we refer to anything or anyone as anything besides her idea of that person or thing, she corrects us. "Me not little girl, me Gwen." "Me not baby, me Gwen!" "Those not zombies, those babies." And so on.

The funniest example of this came the other night after Tony got home from work. Gwen had peed through her pj pants during lunch (she holds her pee through a 2-3 hour stint during nap and lets it all go at lunch) and since I had to feed the little kids supper I didn't have a chance to find Gwen new jammies before Tony got home. She ran to him, in a diaper only, and as he picked her up he said, "Look at you! Where are your jammies? You look like a white trash baby!" Her response of course, was, "Me not white trash, me Gwen!!" We roared for a while over that one and I hope I can remember it when she's 30. LOL

Just over this weekend I had to go out for something or another, and as I was giving hugs and kisses bye-bye she was all lovey and huggy. All of a sudden she scrunched up her face, pulled away from me and said quite frankly, "Ewww Mommy! You so stinky!" LOL!!! The only reason it bothered me is because I actually took a shower and brushed my teeth that day. Maybe that's why she found me so smelly though, because I wasn't rockin' my normal BO, the one she's used to, LOL

She is something else and I love her. So full of spunk, imagination and soooo funny! Just thought I'd share. :)

Much love,
