My granddaughter loves to tease.

One thing Sierra loves to do is tease.  I'm not sure why she does this.  She may want attention, fun or just keeping busy.  Often I believe she does for attention and she believes she is cute.  Of course she is cute even when it is disturbing to you.  She does this in your face.  She will get right up to you.  She has even grabbed my head and turned it to get my attention.  Then when you are ready to yell or you do yell she just smiles and you have to smile back.

My granddaughter dances to music. Not on command.

Very often when my granddaughter Sierra hears music she will start to dance.  Of course she does it because she knows she is cute.  This can happen with music from a TV, cell phone, radio or other source.  Of course she doesn't always do it when you really want her to.  She does it spontaneously when the music starts, not on command.

Once my granddaughter gets something in her head its hard to change it.

Sierra has a few oddities in her mind that are there now and difficult to change.  I have mentioned a few in my blog posts.  She thinks up is down.  She calls her mother money.  Sierra calls milk, water, orange juice, apple juice and chocolate milk the same thing.  She calls them all milk.  So, when she asks for milk you have to either figure out what she wants or just give her whatever you have.  Usually I have a pretty good ideas of what she wants.  Lately since she has discovered chocolate milk that is what she wants.  Its way up in the cupboard so she will point and say "I want that."  I'm usually fixing it anyway for me so I share with her.  We are working with her to differentiate between milk, water and juice.  No telling how long it will take.  I'm sure many people have taken some of these ideas learned as a child into adulthood.  We want to minimize that as much as possible.  She is still the sweet, kind, adorable and happy Sierra.

My granddaughter thinks her mommy is money.

I started to tease my granddaughter.  Well kind of tease.  I would ask her where her mummy is.  Meaning of course her mother.  Well, it kind of backfired on me because now she does it to me.  Only instead of mummy she says money.  So she'll say, "Where's your money?"  This has a few possibilities.  Does she mean where is my mother or where is my money?  Or is she talking about her mother.  When you think that at such a young age she is asking where your money is it sure makes you wonder and is very amusing.

My granddaughter uses the oven door for a mirror.

My granddaughter, Sierra, loves to stand in front of the oven door and talk or look at herself.  She is so cute and likes to see her image in the door.  She also talks on an old used cell phone that doesn't have a battery like she knows what she is doing.  She does have goodbye down pretty good.  Some of the other talk is jibberish.

My granddaughter says down when she means up.

My granddaughter is two and in about 2 1/2 months will be three.  She is at that age when she likes to get up to look at things.  But she has down and up confused.  When she wants to be lifted up she says she wants down.  She likes to look out the window on the door to see outside.  So if I go over and look out the window to see the cats for the dog she also wants to look.  She is a darling.

My granddaughter has my taste buds!

I tend my granddaughter daily and one of the things we do together is eat.  She eats just about anything I do.  And she doesn't complain.  She seems to like whatever I am having.  I do a bit of cooking in butter and sometimes salt.  Eggs and potatoes are a couple of things I usually prepare.  I find it interesting that she eats whatever I eat and likes it.  Apparently she has my taste buds.
