My mom, Mattie and me were shopping last week while Riley was at school. Mattie picked out an outfit that was really cute. Then we went to Dilliards to find Riley something. In the dressing room while my mom and me were changing, Mattie decided to strip down too. She took everything off and the proceeded to pee on her diaper (her diaper was laying on the floor). I didn't have another diaper with me, so she put on the new pj's she had just gotten without a diaper. We went to the little boys section to look for something for Riley. Well, you know the clothes racks and how kids will sometimes hid/play in them? This time, Mattie decided to change in them. Except, because we were in the kid section, only her head was hidden. I looked up and there she stood completely naked. She wanted her other outfit on. There's never a dull moment when you're with Mattie.
Yesterday I was scanning some documents on the computer and making some phone calls. Where the computer is in the house is like feet away from the kitchen/living room. I walk in there and she has a crate of yogurt with 4 cartons open and smashed into the carpet. How did I not hear her? I don't know. So while I'm getting stuff to clean it up, she gets on the computer desk and apparently touched the screen (I didn't actually see her do this) and we now have three huge long smudge/fingerprints going down the screen. I'm guessing she had yogurt on her hands.
I had a funny conversation with Riley this morning. Here's some background info, last week some kid hit Riley and the friends he was sitting with on the bus. This kid is a second grader. To make long story short, I called the school and we haven't had any another issues with this. Here's how the conversation went:
Riley- Well sometimes he plays with girls at school.
Me- Oh. Okay.
Riley- Well I'm not worried about girls Mom.
Me- That's good
Riley- I'm worried about getting beat up
Me- Riley! You shouldn't be worried about that. Why are you worried about that? Did something else happen at school?
Riley- No Mom. I'm worried about getting beaten up by Mattie
I seriously think I could enter Mattie in a wrestling competition. Not that they have those types of things for 2year old little girls. I'm just saying. She does moves on Riley that are unreal for a 2 year old. Where did she learn this I'm sure your asking yourselves. I haven't the slightest idea. You need to watch her in action sometime. You won't believe it. We also have no idea what to do about it.
On an ending note, we have a new roommate- Degen, Vern's little brother. The kids love having him here. I think he gets a kick out of the kids. Especially Mattie's stunts. Whenever Degen leaves Mattie will yell, but in also gruff voice, "Bye DEGEN". It's his special goodbye from her. Today she actually didn't do it and just said a quiet, polite "bye". Degen was like, what she didn't do it? Then he said bye to her again, and she said, "Bye DEGEN".
