(ree=really)
I had tied some pink tulle around a spiderman toy. Chayla lights up and takes it. She says "that's so ree ree, (pause) ree yours". She couldn't find the word she wanted and it was kinda cute. She uses really quite often as substitute for cool or neat or fun. She will say things like "this is a ree ree puzzle"
Later while we were eating lunch I was texting and she said "be done with your phone please mommy". It was such a sweet reminder that she wanted my attention and I need to put my phone away more. So I did. I stuck it behind a book and got up to grab my food. Right after I left he table she looks at me, reaches for my phone and with a sly smile says "I'm gonns play a game on your phone". He had tricked me!
That reminds me of a moment a few nights ago. She was cooking 'dinner' for jake and I. She brings him a bowl with toys and tells him it is his scoop. Then asks if I want 1 scoop. (she repeated it about 10x even though I was responding). She goes and comes back with an empty bowl. She gives me this sorry no more look and then after a moment pulls some toys from behind her back and smiles bc she tricked me. What a silk goose. I don't know where she is learning this stuff from.
Probably from me :)
She will say things that I know I say all the time. Just yesterday out of nowhere she said "goodness gracious". Or she will trellis a wiggly Giles "don't kick people" I better be more careful about what I say.
Last week 2-16 we had Kaidrei and malea over while Brian and LeAnn went to thei ultrasound. The girls were all sitting at the table and Chayla said "that's my mommy Kaidrei. See? That's my mommy.". It may sound silly but I started to tear up. She as actually claiming me when a lot if time do feel like she doesn't like me. Moms always have to be the 'bad guy' all day long when it comes to discipline. Anyways, it was a happy moment.
