2-year-old girl. About 3 feet tall, 30 lbs, toehead blond hair, sparkly blue eyes, endearing gap between her two front teeth. Refuses to wear pants, always taking off diaper. Known to drop to the floor in a fit of rage without a moment's notice, only to recover and immediately do it again. Will not sit in a shopping cart. Often found playing on Mommy's computer, climbing on the counter and opening cupboards, and coloring on tables and doors. Always cries when put in carseat, must use excessive force to overcome the back arch and buckle clips, unless, of course, she's riding in Daddy's truck. Will remind you what color everything is, what every animal says, and will keep saying "rocket" until you give in and put on Little Einsteins. Has a great arm and has been found throwing books and DVDs in parents' faces, leaving marks. Needs a sibling bad! knows the "time-out" routine so well, when you say "Time Out Addy!" her reply? "Two minutes Mom."
On a positive note, she says the sweetest prayers, praying for all of her cousins by name, all characters on Little Einsteins and Backyardigans, and all the animals she can think of, which tonight included a hippopatumus. She has the cutest, nicest, most patient Dad in the world (although he is not for sale and does not come with her) who always seems to know the perfect time to take her for a ride. Is absolutely adorable when she is sleeping. Known to be MUCH better for grandmas, aunts, uncles, friends, neighbors, and absolute strangers for that matter.
Answers to the name Addy, Cheekums, or Little Farts and will start the bidding at $10.

ReplyDeleteha ha...oh Addy, we'll take you! (As long as your mom will pay for the flight!)
ReplyDeletewe can do that arranged marriage now if you want? But then she might not want Grant, if she thinks he's her brother. I'll take her for free, on loan that is. Then you'll miss her, realize that you have no life without her, and I'm sure by then I MIGHT give her back! Maybe...LOVE YOU!!
