Just memorializing a couple of our current favorite phrases of yours, Dear Child--we have no idea from where you pick these things up, but coming, as they do, from someone who still can't properly pronounce the words 'ketchup' (chepup) or 'magic' (magitch, with a hard 'g' sound), they're pretty darn entertaining. You've been using these regularly for the last few days, but here are the contexts in which they were first introduced to us:
After giving me a big hug and a kiss, you place your hand on your hip saucily, look around, and query, "Now. WHERE is that lovely ol' Daddy of mine?"
and
During your nightly woe-is-me, weeping, wailing, teeth-gnashing, conniption-fit angst-fest about having to go to bed, you actually took my face in your hands, looked at me pitiously, and pleaded, "Mommy, I really INSIST, I do NOT want to go to bed now!" Wish I'd 'a thought of that one when I was your age, because I never wanted to go to bed, either. Still don't.
I'm trying to decide whether you're channelling Katherine Hepburn or Lucille Ball.
More car-top silliness from the city fireworks festival on flickr.
I never want to go to bed either. Hence the hour I am posting this.
ReplyDeleteCould she BE any more adorable?
I am diabetic you know, I can't handle that much sweetness!
My face? It has exploded all over the screen here.
ReplyDeleteWay. Too. Cute. For. Public. Consumption.
Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteWe have to get our two drama queens together.
ReplyDeleteHoliday to Little Rock, anyone?
Or one to Philly?
Holy Cute-on-a-Stick. That girl of yours is definitely channeling someone in black and white.
ReplyDeleteI firmly believe that some kids are just BORN with that kind of personality! Their little lives canNOT have given them enough experience to be that sophisticated in so short a time. Of course, it takes wonderful parenting to bring it out in them and nurture it. ;>)
ReplyDeleteI'd say a little of both!
ReplyDeleteShe's insanely cute. The facial expressions are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Lucille Ball, in the best possible way. I hear there are some openings now that Dakota Fanning's getting like a billion dollars a picture...
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so photogenic. This girl is MADE for reality tv!
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful Belinda! Great shots - what a ham!
ReplyDeleteI can just hear her saying "I INSIST". What a darling! And so, so cute and photogenic, as always.

ReplyDeleteWith a face like that.....who needs fireworks. Your camera was certainly pointed in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteJust when I think I can't possibly get any more infatuated ...
