Stinkers

London:  2 1/2 years old

These days London will either throw a fit to wear her swimsuit (notice Megan in the background in full winter coat) or her princess nightgown.  I can get her dressed in the morning, kicking and screaming always, take Addy to school, go workout, and as soon as we walk in the door she is asking me to "Skowa Bunny" ("skin the bunny") and won't stop screaming at me until I have taken off her shirt.  Once the shirt is off, she can do all the rest.  She will come out wearing this dang swimsuit with swim diaper and all.  (yes, I know...I created this)

So...if there ever is an impromptu swim party in the middle of December...we're ready!

London is definitely not as verbal as her older sister was at this age, but she knows how to tattle on said sister like a champ.  She loves to dance and is not shy to show off (and I gotta say has some natural booty-shaking talent).  I love to watch her high-stepping run and she loves when her Dad plays the hug monster.  She will always remind us she needs "kisses and hugs" before bed and isn't shy about asking multiple times if it means she can get out of her bed.  She has already learned to blame her "baby brudder" for breaking things that she normally would get in trouble for.  She LOVES dogs and is often caught imitating one. 

Just yesterday she ran away from me in Kohls and was gone.  Thanks to two strangers who watched the doors while another friend and I ran around looking for her, she was only lost for a few very LONG minutes.  We found her holding another lady's hand who was standing in line looking around for me.  I thanked everyone for their help and then told London how she couldn't run away from me.  She gave me a big hug and kept saying, "I sah-wee Mama...I sah-wee."

Needless to say, she is keeping her affectionate nickname "Stinkers" for a little while longer!
