Mind of her own

Lexi is at such a fun and hard stage. She has so much personality and I love watching her use her imagination. She also has a mind of her own. It is trying when she insists on doing the things you've asked her not to do. Despite this she is such a joy and I love her personality. Lexi's latest:
-She is particular about a few things. She does not like it when you forget to push your chair in. She also dislikes it when she has a shirt on but no pants. (however she loves to be completely naked!:)
-She loves to pretend to be me. She imitates me all day long. She feeds her dolls in her high chair, puts them to bed, plays with them, cleans the house the way I do, etc. It got a little startling when she gave her doll a time out and made it say sorry. That was an eye opener:) She loves to play pretend and is very creative in the way she does it.
-She knows the way things are supposed to be. She knows where we each sit at the dinner table, where we sleep in the bed, which shoes are ours, etc.
-She is into caca. Everything is caca right now. She ate dirt the other day and spit it out and said caca.
-She loves her friend and when we say his name she claps and shouts for joy
-She knows the actions to all of her songs and when she hears the tune she will do them
-She loves to say "ready, set, go" and makes you say it before she'll go down the slide
-She loves to help me. She will empty the dishwasher, wash walls, take diapers to the trash, etc. She thinks it is really fun to throw things away so she'll pretend she's found something on the floor and take it to the trash just for fun. She also loves to put toilet paper in the toilet.
-She likes to play, "where'd it go", "peak a boo"
-She loves to color and whenever you ask her what you should draw she ways a flower
-She calls any woman mama, and any man dada, and any child baby. She insists that her name is baby not Lexi (although she responds to Lexi and knows it's her name)
-She loves other kids and will do anything to get their attention when she sees them
-She will stick her hand out while we are shopping and she's in the cart and try to get people to giver her five or bump it
-She likes to figure out how to take things apart and put them back together. (I wonder where she got that from:) She especially likes things that screw on and off. She has really good fine motor skills.
All in all she is a joy and is so fun and creative!
