Yesterday was sunny, with temperatures again in the mid-20s. Today, we are overcast and still. "Rain coming", as my little weather girl, B, would say.
Motherhood means...laughing at malapropisms and mispronunciations.
B (reaching the last bench at the top of the hill, flopping herself down and refusing to move) : "No, Mama, I'm not going! I need to be-lax!"
AJ (at the first of this year's many children's parties) : No, Mama, I don't want apple juice! I want that black stuff - that Crackly-ola!
And lastly, Mama spots a rash on B's tummy. She says, "Let me look at your tummy. I think you have a rash". B takes off in the other direction, clutching the waistline of her PJs very tightly. When Mama catches up with her, B protests : "No, Mama, don't look. There's no trash down there!"
PS Thanks, D, for a lovely afternoon with a view.

You will be so glad you have these written down when they are older. It's so fun to go back and read them. I would write my girls cute sayings in their baby book. I knew I'd never remember them if I didn't.
These are precious.
I love the crackly-ola.

Hi all, thanks for your comments! I'm glad too that I have a way of remembering these sayings, otherwise I'd forget them instantly. The Crackly-ola made me laugh a lot at the birthday party -- and after one cup he really was Crackly!
