Cinnamon sorta morning

This morning I was chopping veggies for a vegetable beef stew and talking to my mom on the phone while I was doing that.  We have gates up that prevent Addison from going any further than the family room and kitchen - so I sorta forgot to pay real close attention to her during this time.  I would just glance up and make sure she wasn't into any trouble and then back to what I was doing.  I saw that she was playing with what I thought was her toys - so I wasn't concerned.  Then, suddenly I realized when I looked up again that her "toy" was a can of ground cinnamon from the pantry.  She had opened it and had shaken all of the contents onto the love seat, sofa and floor in the family room.  

I wish I had taken a picture because it was really quite funny!  She was covered from head to toe in BROWN cinnamon dust - pjs, face, hair - all covered in brown including the white sofas. haha.  I am really glad we own leather furniture and have stained concrete floors right about now.  The trusty dustbuster (ty Stephanie R.) came to our rescue and a few minutes later + one change of clothes all was back to normal. 

Just another day in the life with Miss Addison - the destroyer. She's too much fun to be boring.

Addison, as it turns out, has a great imagination (either that or there is some television show or movie that she has watched recently that I have no idea about). Beginning last Friday we potty trained Addison (hallelujah for fast learners). She has done SO well and caught on in only a day! The funniest part of the whole thing though is how Addison has made up this whole scenario to help her with the pooping thing. I think it was either Sunday or Monday night that she was sitting on the potty going poop, and I was gathering the clothes for her to get dressed for bed. She started hollering, "Mom, Mom! There is a dinosaur!" "A dinosaur?" I replied enthusiastically! "Wow! Where is the dinosaur?" "It's in the potty! Look!!! Look!!" So I looked, and right as I was looking she looked too and then looked at me and said, "Well, actually it's a lizard." It was very matter of fact, and very Addisonesque with the sideways cock of...
