Secret Confessions of Addison

Alright, so it's been a while for me. I've been pretty busy growing up. I don't have much time to sit on the computer these days. I have to watch Cole and Emily's every move and try to copy it. If they are sitting on the couch, I want to get up there too. If they go outside, I'm banging on the door until someone let's me out. If someone tries to make me sit in my high chair instead of at the table like everyone else, I move my plate to the table when my Mom and Dad aren't looking.
Maybe I'll learn to read by age 2. I have lots of good examples to follow!
I love to copy Cole and Em so much that when they have to get their pj's on, I bang my chest and say "Pj's" until someone puts them on me. My Mom thinks it's because I'm ready for bed, but really it's so...
I can lay in bed and watch "non" (Noggin) with Em. (I even make my Mom get my milk cup for me, so I can be just like Em.)
Or, if Em goes straight to bed, I like to climb in bed with Cole. He hides me from Mom and Dad!
Once Mom got wise to that trick, I learned to pretend I was sleeping. It would make my Mom and Dad laugh so hard that I would get to stay up at least 15 minutes longer!
In my spare time (when I'm not bugging Cole and Em of course), I love to dress up.
Whether it be in my Mom's shoes, Or, my hat and purse.
I know I look sweet and innocent, but I do have to admit that sometimes I do stuff that I probably shouldn't.
I really like the color purple. So when Emily left out her purple lip gloss, I really had no choice but to see how I would look in it. The only problem is, sometimes I get my lips and cheeks confused.
Then, since I looked so cute with purple on my cheeks, a few days later I decided I needed to try again. This time, I couldn't get a hold of Emily's makeup. But she did leave a marker down where I could reach it. (My Mom thinks that maybe this is better than on the walls. But as much trouble as I got in for this one, I would hate to see what would happen when I draw on the walls!)
Every time Mom catches me doing things like this, she shakes her head and tells me she is afraid I might be the first one to break a bone. But what's a kid to do, I needed a seat and a table for my goldfish. I thought I was quite inventive! As I get a little older, I'm rapidly learning to communicate better. One day, our friend Jami was here cutting Cole and Em's hair. I really wanted my hair cut too because it was always getting in my eyes. I finally whacked my head and grunted enough times that my Mom finally got the hint that I wanted my hair cut also. If only she could understand my grunts when I want a cookie or don't want to go to bed. Oh well, I guess I still have a little work a head of me to train her.
See, a little long.
Because I watched Cole and Em go first, I knew all I had to do was hold still and close my eyes.
I winced once or twice when she was getting a little close, but it wasn't too bad.
Don't I look even cuter now?!!?
Have I mentioned that I love Cole and Em! I can even say their names and the names of any of their friends that come over. I've found they are more likely to pay attention to me if I shout their names at the top of my lungs!
Uhoh, here comes my Mom. I guess I'd better go pretend I'm asleep so I can stay up for a while longer. I'll be back sometime though. I have plenty more of my cuteness to share!
