My girls are really learning to express themselves verbally. Well, that's a delicate way of saying they have inherited their mother's ability to gab and there is never a quiet moment in our house! Annabelle repeats everything she hears and Gwyneth repeats everything she hears from Annabelle. It's a house full of parrots! I'm pretty amazed at how much Gwyneth has picked up on already and although she may not get all the words quite right she defintely get her message across. Here's a few examples:
Annabelle likes to negotiate. If I ask her to clean up or get ready for bed, she'll say "How about 5 more minutes?" Gwyneth then looks right at me and shouts "5 mines, Mommy!". (My favorite negotiation tactic with Annabelle is to tell her she has 10 minutes and she'll say "no thank you, how about 5 more minutes?" DONE! Mommy wins.)
Annabelle likes to keep us in the know. When she's leaving the room she'll say "I'll be riiiiiiight back". Gwyneth will wag her little finger in my face and yell "I Back, Mommmy!" and chase right after her sister.
Tonight we had to make a quick stop at Babies R Us. As I turned our cart down an isle we saw a rather large man covered in tattoos with lots of metal in his face. Annabelle gasped and said very loudly "oooooooo, scarrrrry" and little Miss GG grabbed her cheeks (Home Alone style) and repeated even louder "scarrrrry". I was so embarrassed but the guy cracked up and told them, "yep, I am kinda scary looking huh?". Filter girls, filter!!!
Really concerned her Daddy still isn't home. Only 2 more days to go....
