Monkey SEE...I wish Monkey wouldn't do

Take a look at this picture...closely, wait not to closely because my house is a mess. (Yes I am TOTALLY blogging about that). This is my daughter, Elise Violet. she is standing by herself in the middle of the room, but that is what she does, not really walking yet. We returned from our outing in Oklahoma to our home, we have been trying to fix up fix out bla bla bla. Everyday I get up and move around getting laundry done, clean out another closet, cupboard or a box...at 8:30 Elise gets up we drink a big cuppy of milk and eat a yogurt for breakfast. We watch her favorite show, Yo Gabba Gabba, and when that is over, we listen to music while I continue what I was doing until its time for lunch and a nap. In order for me to get through the day, I have to have my coke, or whatever diet drink that is on sale when I go shopping. It's been difficult packing and moving and traveling without the man. It's VERY often that Elise and I sit down to eat a Peanut Butter n Jelly Sammich, I with my Coke, and her with her milk. Its pretty often that I will sit down with Elise at the end of the day, her with Milk and me with my coke to read our books (We like Gossie and Gertie books) So Elise is VERY familiar with what is Mommy's drink.Yesterday, I left my empty can on the Coffee Table when I went into the kitchen to get Elise a drink of juice, and I came back to see this: My lovely daughter stealing the last drops of mommy's drink. Seriously, there was only a drop or two.

I think its interesting that she has learned that this is something good to drink because mommy has it and drinks from it. I don't think that it's just the color of the can that she recognizes but it's the can. I thought it was funny, but I am second guessing that now. At 14 months she knows that if its good for the goose is good for the gosling. I am going to have to learn that saying my mom use to tell me all the time "Do as I say Not as I do".
