First funny moment...
Riley, daddy and I were about to leave the house yesterday morning to go to the dog park and then the grocery store. I stole one of Riley's apple juice boxes and poured it into a glass cause I was really craving some yummy apple juice and I figured she'd never miss it cause she's got lots of juice still in the fridge just waiting to be consumed by her. I threw the box away in the trash while I heated up a breakfast sandwich for myself. I turned around and Riley was digging the juice box out of the trash can and looking up at me questioningly. "Chooss?" she says. "No, Riley. No juice. That's trash. Put it back please." Well, she listens only when she wants to and this wasn't one of those times. She decided she wanted to turn the box over and shake it to see if anything was in it. Apparently, there was a little bit left in there cause, sure enough, a trickle poured out onto the kitchen floor. I immediately grabbed a paper towel, told Riley to throw the box away NOW and clean up the mess. Riley threw the box in the trash, took the towel from me and laid it on floor where the juice had spilled. Now, I fully expected her to swipe at it and then either hand me the towel or throw it away. Apparently, she's been watching daddy's cleaning technique though because after placing the towel on the floor, she stood up, put her foot on the towel and proceeded to wipe up the mess by moving her foot back and forth. It was too cute and very effective. When she was done, she picked up the towel and threw it away, then said "All done."
Second funny moment...
I was talking to my mom on the phone after Riley and I woke up from our afternoon nap. Riley left the living room and went into the bathroom, where I assumed she was playing with her bath toys again. After a few minutes, I heard the sink water come on in the bathroom. She just recently has figured out that if she stands on her little stool and stretches her fingers out, she can reach the faucet knob and push it back just enough to make water trickle out into the sink. I heard the water running and shouted "Riley, please turn the water off now!" (Now a little bit of backtracking... when Riley woke up that morning, her hair was doing some kind of crazy natted up flyaway wing thing and I had taken her into the bathroom, grabbed a brush, wet it, and brushed the back of her head to try to tame the mess.) When I called out to her to turn the water off, I was sitting on the couch with a direct line of sight to the bathroom door. I swear I got a glimpse of the teenage years, when after a second or two, she popped her head around the doorframe, hairbrush in hand and on her head, looking at me with a confused expression on her face like "Are you talking to me? I'm trying to get ready here." I laughed out loud. By the time I got up and walked over to the bathroom door, Riley was back up on her little stool, looking in the mirror, dipping the brush under the water trickling from the faucet and then trying to brush her own hair.
Third and final funny...
This morning when I dropped Riley off at daycare, I was talking to her teacher about Riley's current activities and the fun we had over the weekend. At one point, Riley ran over to give me a hug and wanted me to pick her up. To avoid the start of a tantrum when I put her back down, I told her it was time for me to go and asked her if she'd open the door for me. She immediately ran over to the door to open it. At the same time, her teacher asked me another question which stalled me leaving as I answered her. One of the boys in her class was near Riley at the time and he came over to me when I stopped moving towards the door. He walked behind me, put his little hands one on each of my legs and started pushing me towards the open door. Apparently, it was definitely time for me to go. As soon as I crossed the threshold of the door, Damien stepped back with a grin and as I turned to say bye bye to Riley, she slammed the door shut with a huge grin. Those little co-conspirators!!! LMAO
