This sly little girl has been able to sneak pacifiers for nap and bedtime by hiding them under her "stinky" blanky and then putting the blanket up to her face to make it look like she's chewing on it (which she usually does), although what she's really doing is hiding the pacifier in her mouth under her blanky.
Getting a pacifier isn't a problem for her since they are scattered everywhere in the house, sitting in the exact place that Sammy dropped/spit them out, just waiting for the next time he's in desperate need (or someone else needs a paci fix).
The first time she did this I thought she was acting strangely, but didn't say anything until I noticed that she had her blanket up to her mouth but wasn't chewing on the edge of it. Our conversation went a little something like this:
Me: Adri, what are you doing? Do you have something?
Adri (with a mouth full of pacifier) No.
Me: Yes you do! What's in your mouth? What do you have under your blanket?
Adri (trying to pull her blanket back before I find the pacifier in her mouth): No! Don't! I need it! Please!
Me: You have a pacifier!!! What?!?!? Why do you have a pacifier in your mouth?
Adri: I'm just a little girl! I need it!
Me: You don't need it. You're a big girl and it's going to ruin your teeth if you keep sucking on it.
Adri: Fine. But I want a baba.
When I asked her what was in her mouth I honestly didn't expect for it to be a pacifier. I thought she had taken a snack or gum and was hiding that. Unbelievable! Since this Friday occurrence we've caught her in the act two more times. I keep reminding her that she's a big girl and she counteracts by behaving like the paci is some wonderful drug that she's addicted to and can't live without.
We are going to have to watch her closely, very closely.
Another recent development for Adri is that she has given up her afternoon nap. This has me feeling a little sad. Not only because this was my cuddle time with her, but because she's growing up! I'm not ready for her to be a big girl! Why does it have to happen so quickly? Getting her to sleep at night has been a lot easier as well as the lack of stress at nap time when I attempted to convince her that she needed a nap and she would just as convincingly tell me that "her eyes won't close".
So I'm going to have a tea party...So what? Wait! Don't tell my Dad!

Sammy-isms:

Tickle! Tickle!
Vrroom!
Bzzzzz!
Mom!

Adri-isms:
I eat and then the food goes in my tummy. Then my tummy says STOP and I have to run to the bathroom.
Mommy I'm getting to be a big girl. But I'm trying to be a little girl.
Mommy you'll be my baby forever.
(Hearing thunder) Mommy! God is yelling! He's angry that someone's not listening. But I'm listening!
Mom, I'm waiting patiently for an M&M, do you see me?
No one can take my brother because he would miss me and I would miss him.
Mommy, can I pee outside like Sam? Can I go poo poo outside too?
