She Looks Like An Angel

It's amazing how quickly a mom can forget what a handful a 2 year old can be. I'm no psychiatrist, but she seems a little bipolar to me...either a super sweetie or super terror. Here is some evidence...
Here she is being a cute little mommy with her baby...how sweet.

Oh, she fell asleep on the stairs, how innocent.

Look there is Brinley with Hello Kitty panties on her head. What a ham!

What a funny kid, with a funny face!

But the tides turn. Here she is with her latest artwork. Matt and I had JUST finished painting our walls and were putting the supplies away when we heard the sound any parent would recognize...crayons on the wall. (Note: Brinley is on my lap as I am typing. Now she is acting as though she has multiple personalities. She just said,"Oh no, she wrote on the wall, not on paper. She is sick.)

She attacked some bread I had made for a primary fireside. You think a mother would know better.
We definitely have our ups and downs, but she is laugh out loud funny and a blessing to our family. For the record...
*She likes to put socks on her hands and call herself a princess.
*Here is a conversation she has multiple times a day with Matt...
-------Matt: You're goofy.
-------Brinley: (at mock speed) No, I not goofy, I Brinley.
*The other day I was buttoning up my pants and she sincerely said,"What-sa-matter? Your pants fall down?"
*Loves, loves, loves her cell phone and CTR ring.
*Her favorite church song is "Stars are Gleaming"
*Her favorite musician is Katy Perry. Nothing warms a mother's heart more than to hear her two year old singing about Daisy Dukes and Bikini's.
*She likes to eat with a "Foon".
Note: To close my case, she just put panties on her head again and got the leg hole stuck under her chin. The funny never ends.
NoteII: We have 4 little moms in this house, so I'm often heard saying..."you're not the mom" to one of my children. On Tuesday (Jan. 25th), Brinley said,"I'm not the mom, I Brinley."
