Tonight, while watching an Oreck commercial:
Chad: What is that Brynn?
Brynn: Vacuum
Chad: What is it?
Brynn: Vacuum
Chad: What does mommy call it?
Brynn: A beeper
Ok, ok. I admit Chad won this one. The funny thing is, when I ask her what it is, she calls it a "beeper". Babe, you and I will never get past this. It's a sweeper, not a vacuum. I love you, even with your weird Californian ways of speaking.

Dingle Bells
We've been trying to teach Brynnie how to sing Jingle Bells and she keeps singing "Dingle Bells, Dingle Bells, Dingle Bells, Dingle Bells oh all da wayeeeeeeeeeeee-yuh". Then she just goes on and on and on making up her own words and sometimes adds "dingle bells" back in there somewhere.
Oh and then she tells Chad it's his turn and he sings "Jingle Bells, Batman smells...." and she says "No way Daddy!!".
I love my little family. :)

Manners, Funny Conversations and Words
Tonight on our way home from Target, we were trying to teach Brynn to say "You're welcome" or "You are welcome".
Me: You
Brynn: You
Me: Are
Brynn: Are
Chad: Welcome
Brynn: Thanks!!
***
Brynn also knows that my nickname for Chad is "Babe". On Saturday night, we were in the van and Chad turned on the light to show me something. A few seconds later, Brynn chimed in and said "Babe! Turn off the light!!".
***
Brynn's language:
Vitamins = Vitamints
Contacts = Tontacts
Glasses = Gasses
Sweatshirt = Fetshirt
Couch = Towch (She can say couch, but she likes Towch better.)
Cover me up = Tubble me up or tubble me out
Green = Geen
***
Nicknames for the dogs:
Allie = Al. Allie Lallie.
Melody = Mel. Mellie. Noun. (Where the heck did that one come from?)
Jetta = Jetta Jetta
Me: You
Brynn: You
Me: Are
Brynn: Are
Chad: Welcome
Brynn: Thanks!!

Daddy's Toodles
A couple weeks ago, Chad was out in the garage using his grinder and all of a sudden Brynn started making the sound that she's doing in the video. She was trying to sound like Chad's grinder!! She calls his tools "toodles". :)
Man, I love this kid!!
By the way, sorry for smudge mark on the video... I'm pretty sure it's from Brynn pushing the camera away because she didn't want me to take pictures or video of her!! (Seriously, that's why I haven't been posting lately!!)

Booger Story
Thursday morning when I was getting ready for work, I heard Brynn YELLING "MOMMMMYYYY!!!!!!" and I said "What?! Come here!!" She came running into the room and said "MOMMMMY! BOOGER MOMMMMY!! BOOGER ON MY FINNNGGGGEERRRRR!!!!" Apparently she had one that was bothering her, it was on her finger and she was freaking out because she didn't know what to do!! Her finger was stretched out as far as it would stretch away from the rest of her fingers, she didn't want it to touch anything!!
Ahh... my little girl. :)

Jokester
Pretty close to our house, there is a big lot where a bunch of the City of Mesa school busses are parked. (Seriously, about 100!!) Every morning, Brynn and I drive by and every afternoon, she and Chad drive by them.
This afternoon, Brynn decided to be funny and say "Daddy, look! Bus!". Chad looked around and didn't see one. He said "Where?"... smiling, she replied "Gotcha!!".

Missing Her Daddy
Chad's been in California for training for work since Saturday and Brynn's asked about him quite a bit. She sure misses her Daddy!! She and I are flying to California on Saturday afternoon, we'll spend a week there on vacation and then drive back home the following Saturday.
I'm a little nervous about the plane ride but I'm sure she'll be fine. I bought her a cheapy little bag from the dollar rack at Target and we're going to put some fun new toys in it to keep her busy. She loves the new bag, so we're off to a good start!! :)
Babe, here's a little message from the best little girl ever!! (Don't mind the messy hair, she didn't want the "bret" (barrette) in it. :)

What A Day
So, today started out ok... and then I got to work and everything started going wrong. It was just a weird day at work.
Let's backtrack a little bit. Tuesday, I got an automated voicemail from Brynn's eye doctor's office confirming her appointment for this afternoon at 4:00 at the Scottsdale office. THE OFFICE IN SCOTTSDALE IS AN HOUR COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR WAY. I couldn't reschedule her appointment because I had already told my bosses that I had to leave early today AND Chad had pretty much the whole afternoon off for an appointment for himself and her appointment. I called their offices yesterday to find out exactly where this Scottsdale office was and to give them an earful of bitchy Amanda. They told me that Brynn's appoinment was actually at 4:10 instead of 4:00 and I was ok, whatever, I just wrote it down wrong before. I planned to leave work at 3:30 this afternoon to give me enough time to get up there and it was such a crazy day, I didn't end up getting out of there until almost 3:45. So, I was completely frustrated, called Chad and found out he was stuck in traffic. He thought he was going to be about 5-10 minutes late to Brynn's 4:10 appointment, so I called the office to let them know and they said "Oh, her appointment is at 4:00, not 4:10 and if you're going to get here any later than 4:10, we'll have to cancel the appointment and reschedule."
I LOST IT.
They screwed up the appointment location AND the time of the freaking appointment and can't hold her appointment because he's stuck in traffic?! I hung up, called Chad back and was bawling (I was actually bawling on the phone with the freaking office girl).
OH AND in the meantime, one of the vendors that I faxed an order to right before I left didn't get page 2 of the fax. THE PAGE WITH THE ORDER ON IT THAT HAS TO DELIVER TOMORROW. So, I pulled off on to a side road and didn't know what to do. I was going to go back to work but then decided to call my boss and ask him to refax it for me. Yeah, that makes me look really good, doesn't it? Atleast I was smart enough to give the vendor my cell phone number in case they had problems. I then headed home. There was no way that I was going to make it to the appointment, it was 40 minutes away and at this point, I had 5 minutes to get there.
Ok, so back to Chad. When he got off on the exit that he needed to, he called the dr's office to tell them where he was and he needed to know exactly how to get there. SHE GAVE HIM THE ADDRESS. At this point, he pulled out the attitude that he learned from me and was like "LOOK. YOU TOLD MY WIFE THAT IF I WAS 10 MINUTES LATE, WE HAD TO RESCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT. THE APPOINTMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE HIGLEY OFFICE AND THE GIRL AT THE FRONT DESK AT THEIR OFFICE SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT FOR SCOTTSDALE. THIS IS AN HOUR OUT OF MY WAY AND WE ARE NOT RESCHEDULING. I JUST GOT OFF AT THE EXIT THAT I NEEDED TO, SO YOU TELL ME EXACTLY WHERE TO GO FROM HERE." So, she did.
The Dr. Salevitz apologized to Chad as soon as he walked in the door and Chad said "You have no idea how lucky you are that my wife wasn't here". Dr. Salevitz said "I know" in a really quiet voice. Seriously, he has no idea what kind of day I've had.
Anyway, Brynn needs another surgery.
On April 1, 2008, when she was 8 months old, she had her first surgery because her eyes were crossed really bad. You could really tell that she was having problems focusing and trying to grab things. Pretty much right after the surgery, her attitude completely changed and she was sooo much happier. She started learning things a lot faster after the surgery too. (Go to our old blog to read about the first surgery.)
Now, her eyes "wander" when she's sleepy. Dr. Salevitz told Chad that when Brynn looks to the left, her left eye will go to the left and her right eye will go up. When she looks to the right, her right eye will look to the right and her left eye will go up. (One of them will actually wander up and in too.)
She's really smart though, if you tell her to "fix her eyes", she'll blink and she is able to focus again. You wouldn't even be able to tell that her eyes crossed a few seconds before.
So, right now her second surgery is scheduled for April 14th. Chad is supposed to be going to training in North Carolina for a week or so sometime in April, so we may need to change the date of her surgery so that he is here for it. I'll keep you posted.
I know most of this post wasn't a big deal to anyone who was reading it but seriously, you have no idea how stressed out I've been today. Oh and once I calmed down at home, I checked our lottery numbers for last night and didn't have any. Dang.

Bear!
I can't believe I completely forgot to post this last night. I even forgot to tell Chad about it until tonight at dinner.
Yesterday after work, I picked up Brynn and we stopped by our bank in WalMart. When we left, Brynn started saying "bear, bear" and I was like what the heck are you talking about?! She stopped for a few seconds and then started saying "bear, bear" again. I asked her where the bear was and she pointed to A KID WITH AN AFRO!!!!
Atleast he couldn't hear her...

Conversation
For Christmas, my hottie hubby got me a gift certificate for HABIT SALON to get my hair colored. This is a conversation that we had a few minutes ago:
Me: What color did you say I should do my highlights? Blonde?
Chad: Yeah, it's getting close to summer so that would probably be cool.
Me: Um, yeah, close to summer? Ha ha ha... It's January!!
Chad: Babe, we only have two seasons here, remember??
He's right!!

Conversation with Chad tonight
Chad: CRAP! I forgot to get on the elliptical machine!
Me: Why don't you get on it for a few minutes right now?
Chad: I don't want to have to take another shower... just thinking can make me sweat!!
(Got rid of our stairclimber over the weekend that we never used... and got a smokin' deal on an elliptical machine!! Where did we put the elliptical machine, you ask? The only place that we have room... right next to our dining room table!!)
