Kessa quotes

My big 21 month old is talking up a storm:

"I (w)ant hug pinkers." (Me: "We can't hug sprinklers." Kes: "Why?")

Current name for self: "Ketha."
(Along those lines, "Mm-hmm" has turned into "Yyyyeth.")
Current name for Eliana: "Titter." or, "Anyana."
Current name for me: "Mami."
Current name for Scott: "Daddeeeee."
Current name for my mom: "Gammaw."
Current name for my dad: "Gwampa."
Pronounces "Bubbe" and "Papa" perfectly.

Kes has become very attached to her pink blanket ("bankie"). This is the blanket which my aunts and uncle gave to me for Elly's baby shower, that Elly never attached to. It was the last blanket that my Grandma Linda knit before she died - in fact, she didn't finish it. (A friend of the family did.) I'm thrilled that Kes loves it. Carolyn says that Kes (red hair and all) is my gift from Grandma Linda. It's a good theory.

Ice cream dropped from her spoon to the chair between her legs. She says, "Uh-oh, Mama. Fell on da tair."
Commonly, her reaction is, "uh-oh, I (s)pill(ed).

When Kes is excited, she goes, "Oh! Oh! Oh! (insert what she's excited about here)!" Like:
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Daddy!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Ie cweam!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Kward!" (that's "backyard" to the uninitiated)
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Zoo!"
The list goes on and on.

Sassy Elly

Elly's latest bit of sass:

Last Friday we were having our usual morning cuddle. Elly was starting to get restless and was blowing air through her lips, "Puh, puh." I said, "Elly, that's getting little bits of spit on me, stop please." She said, "No, mommy, I'm not spitting." Me: "I know you aren't trying to spit on me, but what you're doing is getting a bit of spit on me. Stop, please." Elly: "No, Mommy, that's not spitting. THIS is spitting." Ptui!

a tear

Kes and Mommy cuddling in bed in the morning, Elly asleep. Elly wakes up and runs into the room and says, "Hi Kessa!" Kes says, "Hi Titter!" Elly gives Kes a big hug and says, "I love you Kessa!" Kes says, "Awwwwww." Elly looks at Mommy and says: "Mama, I had a tear in my eye, because I was sooo happy."
