In Etta's room we have a large round stainless steel garbage can that we use for Etta's dirty cloth diapers. Addie enjoys the fact that the can is reflective & she can see herself in it. Today she might have enjoyed that feature a little too much. I was sitting in the glider nursing Etta. Addie decided to sit down on a small footstool facing the can. First she was talking & smiling at her reflection in the can. Then she put her arms around the can to give her reflection a hug. Next she gave her reflection kisses! I was smirking, unsure whether I should be laughing because it was so dang funny or telling her to stop because poopy diapers go in there and it is germy. At least most of her kisses involve her nose, not her tongue!
On the subject of hugs: Addie is still learning etiquette. It used to be that she would expect you to do all the work - she would not extend her arms, instead she would stand there & receive the hug. That has been changing. Lately there have been bear hugs given to mommy & daddy. Also there have been some hugs between her & other toddlers that ended up with one laying on top of the other because they hug so hard & don't let go that they fall over. Today she decided to give her friend Beckett a goodbye hug after their playdate. His arms were in front of him so she moved them out to the side so she could get her arms around him good. Then she wanted to kiss him so she took his face in both her hands so she could (nose)kiss him straight on. Luckily Beckett was smirking through all of this.
On the subject of kisses: Etta is at the adorable baby stage of trying to grab your face between her hands and give your mouth, nose, etc a full-on open mouthed slobber kiss. Gotta love it!
(Etta's first ponytail! I am sure there will be many more in her near future now that I know it is possible & adorable!)
