Beebster's robot voice

Robot voice

Faith's robot voice is on pointe these days! Dan and I get SUCH a kick out of it, and I finally got it on video today when she was playing with Dan. It is absolutely hilarious and so darn adorable, and her words of choice to say in this robot voice are: "I won't gooooooo, Moooooooommmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaa!" She made Dan's friend and his wife die laughing on Saturday with this voice and her stinky eyes. Not to mention, her Ella has had quite an impact on her lately and now she likes to do 'smoky eyes' and 'precious eyes.' It's so funny!

Right now little Beebster is reading the story of 'Goldilocks' and re-creating the Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear's voices. It's quite funny. She'll be an extremely entertaining big sister! In fact today she watched a little bit of Maddie's 'science lesson' with her (which consisted of "Blue Planet" today) and kept telling the doctor and nurse at baby sissy's appointment this afternoon all about male elephant seals and how bloody they get when they fight. And then when we returned from our appointment, she was putting her doll in the baby carseat and dragging it around everywhere. 

Our little Flop!

A girl and her states

Beebster's been talking in the most robotic voice lately when she doesn't agree with something that Dan or I tell her. It's quite hilarious actually. For example, she was trying to sneak out of her room after Maddie had gone to bed tonight. I took her back to their bunks and told her to go to sleep, and she responded with a voice that sounds like slow motion/robotic talk: "No, Mommmmmmmmmmmma.... Nooooooooo Mommmmmmmma!" Then she stood there with her hands crossed saying "Eeee" for 'please' to come out again. I swear I have to really concentrate on not laughing half the time with my precious little Flop because she can be so darn funny.

She was in absolute heaven this weekend at Nene and Bop Bop's house. She has been asking non-stop for them, and for 'Guy,' 'Beeba,' and 'Tia' (the only other names that she can pronounce-- Donovan, Ella, and Tia Rosa). She absolutely adores her cousins. She keeps asking, "where Nene? where Bop Bop? where Guy? where Beeba?" It's so funny.

My Faith-y made me quite proud this afternoon at the playground. We took them to Reiffton school park (which they love, Maddie asks for "Reiffton park" and Faith asks for "blue" because it's blue) this afternoon. They happen to have a big U.S.A. map on the pavement and they love running on it. I'm always showing them states that have an importance to us (of course Maddie will ask about all 50, but I try not to inundate her with too many names): Pennsylvania for where we live and where Faith was born, Louisiana for where Maddie was born, Florida for DisneyWorld, Delaware for our beach hotel, Maryland for Baltimore, Maine for where Momma and Daddy were married, Alaska for where the polar bears live, Texas for where we visited our friends, and Hawaii for where Lilo and Stitch live. Anyway, I asked them both if they knew where Florida was, and wouldn't you know.. Faith went and stood on Florida! Then I asked them if they knew where Pennsylvania was, and Faith went and stood right on it. Dan and I were clapping like crazy! 

They also have the alphabet (which Maddie loves doing and we always do it at the end of our visit to this playground) and a few other cool things including a clock. I told them to stand on the number for how old they are, and Maddie went and stood on '4.' Faith held out her 2 fingers to tell me she is 2 years old, and then went and stood on the '2!'

My sweet robotic-sounding-family-loving-state-knowing little Beebster!

Underwear Flopper

I should take a picture of the following, but I don't want to rile up my Beebster more than what she already is at past 1opm....

Dan left for work, and I brought up my basket of laundry to fold and put it on our bed. I went into the kitchen to unload the dishwasher (which I'm trying to make a habit, rather than waiting until the next morning..) and the next thing I know I see Beebster standing there wearing a pair of my underwear halfway around her neck and also halfway up her thigh saying "Yi, Momma! Where Gak?" (Translation: Hi, Momma. Where's my Gak?- that sticky stuff that sticks on walls that she got from the quarter machines at Giant the other day). Apparently the little Beebster woke up and came into our bedroom, but didn't find me. So, she helped herself to a pair of my underwear from the clean laundry (she loves sorting through laundry with me) and went ahead and wore it before coming to look for me. I could not help but burst out laughing. She's too funny.

Right now she is sitting in our bed trying to sneak peeks at "Greta on the Wire" while humming the "Robin Hood" parade song and still has my underwear on her as clothes. Only now, they are around her arms like a shirt. I've now decided I can't pass on a picture, and the Flopper is always more than just slightly photogenic when she's not supposed to be awake in the first place!

I love my sweet little comedienne.

The girl needs to dance!
