Kids are weird. I mean, they can be really weird sometimes. Ashtyn is super cute, but definitely not the exception to the weird rule. Here are some of the funny, odd things she does:
She drinks out of her sippy cup is it's facing backwards. This makes it harder for her to get the liquid to come out, but if I rotate it so the nipple is on the bottom, she inevitably turns the other way within just a minute or two.
Ashtyn has to put her colored pencils in their cardboard box upside down. She'll start putting one in the other way, so "oh!" and switch it.
She likes to back up to things. She'll back up slowly to the wall or door and then run forward and back up again. I am still not sure why she does this.
When Ashtyn is eating in her high chair, she'll eat off her plate or bowl for a little while, but eventually, she dumps all her food onto her tray and throws her plate onto the floor.
This is one I try to stop, but she loves to drip her water or milk out of her bottle onto the floor and then lay down and lick or slurp it up. She especially loves to do this when I make hot chocolate.
Ashtyn has a portable training potty, that she doesn't yet use, to get her used to it. She loves to put toys inside of it, but her newest favorite thing to do is take the potty part out, climb inside the hole that's left, and sit in there with a toy or book.
Ashtyn also loves to climb inside things, which is normal for kids, but still really funny. The funniest is when she climbs inside my pots or pans.
Ashtyn has a barbie from the dollar store. She brings it over to me, saying "help" and "off", I take the dress off for her, then Ashtyn promptly bends the leg off. She then walks around with either just the barbie leg or with the naked, one-legged barbie.
She loves to read. Ashtyn will get a book (not a kid's book) and sit and "read" it. She also loves to take her finger and move them over the words, babbling as she "reads" the words.
Ashtyn also loves socks. One thing she likes to do that's ... interesting, is using her mouth to pull her socks off. I'm not sure why she does this, but she does.
She also talks to walls. She'll stand up on the couch or crouch down and babble to the wall, or repeat the same sound over and over again. She used to do this with tags. I remember, before she was very mobile, she'd roll over to the tag on her play mat and sit there and make loud noises at it.
She does a lot more, there's just way to many to write here, or even think of all at once. But she definitely already has her own personality, ideas, and quirks. And we sure love her for it.
