More Stuff R Does

--Call everything "mine!" As in, "this is MY house." "This R's pillow." "That's MY cereal." "That book is MINE!" Occasionally something will be Mommy's or Daddy's (like when she's assigning seats at the dinner table--yes, she really does this, and gets upset if you sit in a seat she hasn't specifically designated as yours) but usually everything is hers.

As of now, this trend is mostly cute, rather than annoying. Most of the stuff she identifies as hers really is hers-- as in, the bowl she's eating from, or the particular toy she's playing with at the time-- and if you tell her something isn't actually hers, she will usually but not always modify her phrasing so that said item is attached to the correct person.

--Insist on wearing flip flops. Grammie and Grampie sent R some adorable Dora the Explorer flip flops in her size and oh my goodness, she loves these shoes. She likes to wear my flip flops around the house, but now that she has Dora's flip flops, she wears those and brings me mine so I can put them on, because didn't you know, life is so much better if you're wearing flip flops. (Thank goodness she didn't inherit J's webbed toe!)
