Decorating Mama’s Counter

Quinn is many things…Tyler has started the labeling with “Quinn is a ripper.” because she likes to rip up books. If there is a spine that is sticking our she rips it off. If there is a flap book, she rips the flaps.

I have another one to add, “picker”. She has to pick at everything - stamps on envelopes, price/UPC stickers on anything and stickers.

Tyler has a Thomas sticker book and it is Quinn’s first love. She will sit there and pick off sticker after sticker after sticker. Some days she puts them on her shirt, some days on my shirt, some days on her belly and today it was on the counter.

This worked very well as I was finishing up dinner and this kept her quite content. She also sometimes gets the sticker border stuck on her hand or some other thing she can’t remove. So in the middle of her pick fest she will say, “hand!” wanting you to remove whatever item is stuck to it.

And she doesn’t quite have her “s” sounds down yet, so she says, “Ticker”  - very slight s sounds with a strong T sound.  She is too funny!
