toddler bel quirks

(Draft from 2011 - woah that's reaching back)


belén says...

"why cuz?" when she's asking why

"mmm, mommy smell this/what does this smell like?/ you smell dat?" i hear a variation of this line approximately 678 times per day - bel insists on smelling everything - i'm not kidding, she is probably less likely to ask me to smell something if it is fragrant - she sticks to the challenging things like walls, clean dishes, plastic bottles, toys, things that you would never bring to your nose and take a whiff - oh it cracks me up

the logistics and bargaining powers of bel are as follows...

us - bel it's time to take your medicine

her - um no, i want to jump on trampoline and play hide and seek then have a treat ok? (or the alternative neverending response where she just rambles on and on thinking that we'll forget what we were actually trying to talk about) - i love seeing her mind work

(This is hilarious to read 4 years later, because this is still her tactic - she is a determined delay fish)
