Sometimes I think Andi really does have an alter ego. Last night we had a really nice family home evening lesson about temples. She was paying attention and loved coloring her temple picture. This morning even, she wanted to look at more temples and pick out all the Angel Moroni's she could see and tell me about our lesson last night. That's this Andi and it is exciting to me when she makes an appearance. She makes me feel like I'm doing my job as a mother.
But most of the time I have this Andi.
I still Love this Andi, but this personality is the sassy daredevil. The one who just jumped OFF of my parents trampoline because she wanted to fly. And who not 2 minutes later about ripped her legs in half playing on Bradons skateboard. She had one leg on and it went one way while the other leg stayed in place and she did a nice center split on the patio. This Andi frequently stomps her foot and turns her nose up in the air at me when she is being stubborn, and says "Momma I too busy, you do it" when I ask her to pick up her toys. This is the one I have staring competitions with at the dinner table because she refuses to swallow her mouthful of food, and the one who tells me "We don't color on fingers, just paper" and then shows me her hand covered in marker. When I've had enough sleep this Andi makes me laugh A LOT, but when I'm tired, like today, it feels like this Andi will be the death of me.

Sorry, the deleted post was mine. John and I are watching DWTS. I can't watch tv and type. Anyway, I love daredevil Andi, she sounds like someone we would have been friends with.
She is YOUR child.... not to mention, did you notice who you married?! Because, you really couldn't have expected much different right? :)
I think this is hilarious! I can't wait to find out the temperament of your next child! Sammy could be devil #2 or Angel #1. We shall see....
P.S. I miss you not at dance!!
I want to say I'm sorry about the daredevil child (don't know where she got that!). Hoping and praying that you get Angel#1, not Devil#2:) Of course, I've also heard that if they are a pain when they are little, they will be easy when teens....Thad was, but you never can tell. You guys are great parents and I'm sure the Temple side will outweigh the obstinate side! Hang in there:)
those pics are so classic!! I'm glad that you also have a child with an altar ego...I feel the same way about Mikah in the best possible way that a mom can. :) Too bad we don't live closer so that they could get into all kinds of trouble together!!
Haha...I love this post! Those pictures are great! I can't believe how grown up she looks! How far away are you from number 2 now??
