Rachel-isms

Here are a few of her latest words and expressions....



*Whenever we're both doing something (eating breakfast....taking a walk....sitting on the couch) she'll say, "Rachel bwekfiss, Mommy bwekfiss. We ALL bwekfiss!.....Rachel wawking, Mommy wawking.....we ALL wawking!"



*Something we've heard a lot of in the last week (because she's had a cold) is, "I need Kweenex. Mommy, can I hab Kweenex pweeze?"



*She loves it when I call her "Silly Rachel." So sometimes she'll get me to say it by doing something dumb and saying, "Siyee Rachel, Mommy. Dat's Siyee," wanting me to repeat her and tell her she's silly.



*One of her favorite new books is Angelina Ballerina, who she calls "Anjayeena Bananeena."

*One of her favorite songs is still "Ochidama Hab a Fahm." Now the animals that live on the farm are usually actual farm animals....not monkeys and elephants like she used to include.

*The girl watches too much Dora, because when I fasten her into her car seat she says, "Seat bewts....so we can be safe!"

*Speaking of her car seat, she now wants to get in it "Aw by MYsewf." (My is always emphasized.) We have to put her in the truck but she can climb up into her seat by herself now, and it makes her feel like a big girl.

*She also enjoys sitting in the "big guwl chay-ah" (big girl chair) to eat a snack or a meal instead of her booster seat/high chair.

She constantly tells me that she's a big girl....but every so often she calls herself "Baby Rachel," so I think she's not quite sure she's ready to be a big girl. I tell her she'll always be my baby....
