February 2012
We were sitting at the table eating lunch (Lily was having puffs) and I (Beth) thought Rebekah needed some extra attention so I began complimenting her. “It’s so nice to have you around all the time. You’re so considerate. You’re so pretty.” etc. At the first pause she said, “Tell me all about it, mom!”
My mini me =)

Bekah: Daddy’s being too paxtful.
Beth: Paxtful?
Bekah: La (Yeah).
Beth: I don’t know what that means. Do you have another word to explain it?
Bekah: It’s just a saying, Mom.
Beth: Oh. Ok.
Bekah: It’s when I’m needing a hug, and he hugs me.

Thanks for that! I sure do love that girl and her sweet parents for recording this and posting it so beautifully.
:o) awww shucks. Thanks, Kate!
This is quite fantastic. I had a good belly-laugh over a few of Bekah’s quotes!! :D I’m going to have to remember to record what my kids say when I have them someday. :)
Adelaide was spending the night with Gigi last night (her grandma). She woke in the middle of the night. After entertaining her for a little while, Gigi told Adelaide, “It’s time to go back to sleep now.” After several minutes of a good honest attempt at sleep, Adelaide says, “I need something else to do.”
…
“More chemistry? … More chemistry? … More chemistry, dada!”
What Adelaide says when we drive through downtown Granville, where the streets were lined with Christmas trees.
:o) haha I wish I could know her. Do you have videos of her somewhere?
