Big helper/drama queen

Andi is becoming quite the crack-up these days, at least to me. Thad decided that Saturday was the day to demolish her swing set and build a new one. The old one was pretty rickety and swayed menacingly even if it was just Andi on it. So a couple of trips to Lowes and lot's of "help" from Andi and they got the first section of it finished. It looks really good and Andi loves it. But the whole day she kept picking up screws and bolts and tools and saying "Andi's big helper huh?" "Here Daddy, Andi's helping." She even head butted him a few times trying to get a closer look at what he was doing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them ;)



Besides being a big help she is also turning into a BIG drama queen. Her new favorite thing to say when she is upset or crying is "Andi's not gonna be happy girl anymore!" Which I think is the 2 year olds version of the 13 year olds anthem, "your ruining my life!" Everytime she says it I have the hardest time keeping a straight face. She did it this morning, full on tears and everything, and i just busted up laughing. Couldn't help myself.
She has also discovered a love of the movie Annie. I'm not sure if she thinks they are saying Andi and that's why she loves it or if she really is just into musicals. If there is singing and dancing she's mesmorized. Kinda weird, but promising at the same time. She will be able to pick up worms and fish with daddy, while still being able to enjoy musicals and dance with mommy ;)
In other news Breaking Dawn came out saturday and I'm halfway through it and loving it. But i have to admit I so did not see that coming!! Any of it! Maybe i'm totally un-perceptive, but I was seriously shocked. I can't wait to finish!

Too cute about Andi wanting to help her daddy! OH my goodness, I have had some set backs, so I am almost done with the third, and reading what you have posted as far as "not seeing that coming" is painful!! i have to finish, so that i can find out what is going to come of all this!!!! ;)

I really like that you said "swayed menacingly". You can tell that you have been reading too many books because real people don't talk like that.

maybe you haven't been paying attention Stef, but I totally talk like that. . . all the time!

Andi and Thad have such a special relationship. It is so fun to hear about.
