25 Random Things- Luci Goosie Style
Did you notice when this thing was going around Facebook? I did one for myself a while back (remember, I love lists), so now I thought I’d do one for Luci Goosie, or Chubby Chapman as we’ve been calling her as of late.
- Her hair is insane. Like insane-in-the-membrane, nutzo-craze-o insane. Some days it’s curly, some days it’s flat. Every morning, the front is part frizz-ball/part grease pit. It’s un-tamable. I honestly have no idea what to do with it. I’m a horrible hair-mom. I just don’t know how to tame it!!!! The only thing I really do is wet it in the morning and sort of crunch it and let it air-dry so it’s curly. I love her curly hair!
- She cracks up incessantly at the word gym. Or Jim.
- She sleeps face-flat, arms to side and butt straight up in the air. Like every single night (hence the crazy frizz-ball bangs when she wakes up).
- She loves it when you copy her doing anything. Make the same noises. Copy her movements. She thinks it’s all very hilarious.
- Because of the flat-faced sleeping technique she’s got going on, she wakes up looking totally unlike herself- all puffy-faced and drowsy. It’s the cutest thing.
- She loves to throw hissy-fits. I think she got my flair for temper-tantrums. If she’s “over” something, she’s over it. Like, get it the F away from me right this very second or I will freak out and scream. Loud. And throw things. And, freak out!
- She loves Matt’s El Rancho.
- She is so very sensitive. If you so much as look at her the wrong way, her lower lip starts that pouty-quivering thing that is her precursor to a big cry.
- She LOVES playing “Where’s Luci”???? She’ll cover her eyes with her hands, toys, blankie and we go “Where’s Luci”? She removes hands/blankie and we scream “OH!! There she is!!! I didn’t see you there”!!
- If she’s crawled away to a place she knows she’s not supposed to be (like let’s say by the dog food), and if she hears you come up behind her, she covers her eyes– she thinks when she does that, she really is invisible.
- She’s moody. Sometimes she wakes up all giggly. Other times, she’s miss bitchypantz. Kinda like her Daddy. Ok, ya got me. More kinda like her MaMa, I guess.
- She doesn’t like you feeding her Cheerios. She’s a big girl and likes to do it herself. (oh, yes, she finally likes Cheerios- hated them for the longest time it seemed).
- She LOVES the pool. She’ll stay in it for hours on end if she can.
- She’s recently located her lady-parts.
- She loves other kids. Everything about them. When we are out somewhere, she just stares and stares at the other kids.
- When she’s tired or sad, she lays her head on your shoulder and it just melts your heart.
- She never went through the phase of putting everything in her mouth. Not sure why, she just doesn’t do it. Hope it doesn’t start.
- Her favorite song is that “love in a coffee shop” song that is on the commercial for that phone company. Every time it comes on, she drops whatever it is she’s doing at the time to listen. Never fails.
- Loves remotes and cell phones. But then again, what kid doesnt?
- Her favorite food is mixed mango and pears. She freaks for it.
- She is SO easy going. We are so lucky. She loves to sleep and can entertain herself in her crib in the mornings while we’re showering. Again, I realize, we’re very very lucky.
- She’s a talker. Constantly making some sort of noise. She does this yodeling thing that I LOVE. I’m determined to get it on tape and will post it. It’s the CUTEST sound I’ve ever heard.
- She loves Don Williams.
- She now has 6 teeth- 4 on the bottom and 2 on the top. She CONSTANTLY grinds them though and it makes the most horrible sound I’ve ever heard. I hope she stops that soon.
- She loves her Daddy. For realz serious-like. They really have a special bond and he’s so damn good with her. Sometimes I catch her just staring at him with this contented smile on her face- he lights up her world. It’s pretty amazing to see.
Oh, and I just have to add one more:
26. She totally smells like cookies.
