The Curious Case of Aubrey Webb

A tiny little post about the things that make Aubrey Aubrey.

*Aubrey is sometimes a dog named Coco. He (yes, he - Coco is a boy doggy) will come out to play about twice a day. He barks and eats food off the floor and fake pees on all fours with one leg raised. Brooklyn is his owner and kindly takes him for walks around the house on his scarf-leash.

*Aubrey is high-maintenance. She needs lots of love and attention. At this very moment, she is sitting on my lap (where's she been for last 20 minutes) poking me in the eye and jabbering on about how silly I am.

*She is the ultimate negotiator when it comes to nap time. She thinks she's done with them. I beg to differ.

*Aubrey's vocabulary is astounding. Sometimes I forget that she's only 2 year old because she can carry on some pretty amazing conversations.

*She goes potty approximately every 16 minutes. She gets that from her dad.

*Her feet get unusually wrinkly in the bath tub. It's my favorite thing in life.

*Aubrey is the ultimate tease. She is a fast, playful, sneaky little tease. Particularly in craft stores, public libraries, and Sacrament Meetings.

*She has a personal vendetta against the word "stupid." One day we were playing and I said that I was "Super Mom." She thought I said "Stupid Mom" and was so offended that she put me in time-out. Rightfully so.


*Her biggest fear is being left behind. Actually, that's her only fear.

*She is a boy at heart. She eats dirt, loves tools, plays with cars, and (much to the dismay of her older sister) has no problem holding bugs. She made Brooklyn almost cry twice this week when she picked up worms.

*There is not a child on the planet that loves dogs more than her. Big ones, little ones, fat ones, even ones that pummel her to the ground in the middle of the pet store.

*Aubrey has one volume: loud. And one speed: on.

*Aubrey's prayers are always the same. "Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for food, and blessings, and forks." She usually thanks Him for forks at least twice during the prayer.

*Aubrey is one big amusing, lovable, mischievous, cuddly little drama queen. When she gets in trouble, she looks at me and every time she says, "I not being obedient?"

*She calls every lady with gray hair "Grandma." I think it's cute; the old ladies at the grocery store do not.

*She's perfect in every way and I could not love her more.
