'Gracias'

The Mexican kid's CD that Beebster just loves has shown itself in her new word, "Ga- sas" (gracias). Haha. She was sheepish today when I asked her to say it in front of Dan, but she kept saying it all day yesterday. And, the best part was in the middle of Friday night: Maddie came over to our room at about 6am, and I asked her where Faith was. I went to check in the bottom bunk and didn't find her there. I checked in Faith's room, and Beebster wasn't there either. She was nowhere to be found. I finally went and checked in the living room, and there I found a silhouette of a Beebster standing by the couch cross-legged and sniffing her blankie as though she was lost. I scooped her up, gave her a kiss, and she gave me a neck hug and goes "Ga-sas Momma!" Hahahaha. 

She had a wonderful day today. By wonderful, I mean tantrum-free. The girl is testing me like Maddie never did in her life. But, she was as sweet as could be today. She even pooped once in the toilet, and ate her dinner since it was her favorite: taco night. She got a lollipop for dessert from the Santa countdown calendar and was happy as could be. She and big sis played with Faith's shopping cart the rest of the night after baths, and she got a kick out of Dan and I being the cashiers. My little Floppy Disk!
