The Darndest Things

I wish I was spending more time recording the way Elizabeth talks. It's incredible! A couple of recent examples:

Joey was worried that Elizabeth's top was going to fall over, as it was wobbling. She said, "Don't worry. It's stable. It has a flat base." Remember folks, she's three and a half!

Showing me her treasure map, which included a fabulous depiction of a lighthouse, she said, "See this line? It indicates water." Indicates!

Recently Barb replaced an ancient dried flower arrangement. At first she didn't want me to give Elizabeth even one flower from the arrangement, as it would cause a mess of desiccated floral bits. The next day, Barb had given Elizabeth the entire arrangement. Such is parenting.

Anyway, last night Elizabeth decided that some of the flowers were "wishing flowers" and she made up this incantation: "Wishing flower/tall and tame/come to my name" after which came the wish. Awesome!

Plus, Suzanne indicates she wants food by going, "Mmmmmm. Mmmm. Mmmmmmmmmm!" Cute as all get out.
