Smarty Pants

Cali is my little genius. She cracks me up with all her observations. Everything that she learns. The other day she took a bath and wrapped it up in wash cloth. She handed it to me and told me it was a caterpillar that was going to be butterfly one day. I asked if it was in a cacoon and she told me it was in a Chrysalis. AMAZING! She amazes me. The other day we were in the bathroom and she started to make her voice echo in the shower area. I asked her to stop because she was being rather loud and she told me that she was making an echo. I asked her what an echo was. She told me that her voice was bouncing off of the walls and making an echo. So, I had to let her keep doing it. Everyday, she tells me more about what she has learned and I just loving hearing the world in Cali's perspective.

Roomies

Cali and Ranon became roomies in March. Ranon seemed to take to his new bed pretty well and Cali seemed to enjoy her little buddy. However, with any roommate snoring can become an issue if you share the same room. Cali and Ranon are no exception. Ranon has always been a little wheezy and thus snores. Cali's hearing is very sensitive. So, one night when we were down stairs. Cali called out to Ranon "Ranon, stop it!" As if the poor baby had a choice, but it was funny. She also has asked us what Mark and I are watching on TV downstairs and what are we laughing about. Even better, she's also shouted down to us, "Can you keep it down! I'm trying to get some sleep." :)

Another Funny Story

Cali has said some of the funniest things since Ranon was born and I must put them in her blog before I forget.

The first:

When Ranon was about 2 and half months old we were trying to get him to take a bottle. So, we religiously were giving him one every day, even if no milk was stored - I would pump. One day, I needed to pump quickly in order to give him a bottle. I handed Ranon to Mark in a bit of a panic and I said, "Sorry, this is gonna be tough. I'll go as fast as I can." Cali then says, "Mom. Calm down. It's easy" and then she thoughtfully paused, "You just pour it in a cup."

So funny.

Don't say that...

Cali has become the bad word police. You say a bad word or what you have told her is a bad word and she says, "Don't say that. That is a bad word." Except for if daddy says the bad word then the same remprimand does not come down. This leads me to believe that Mark has told her "Don't say that is a bad word. ONLY DADDY can say that word." And she has taken him quite literally. It is good though because I need to get my bad words in check anyhow.

So, what does Cali say when she is upset? NUTS!!! When she gets frustrated she says "NUTS!" and then says its not a bad word because Donald Duck says it. So, we can't fault her there and NUTS is just a perfect frustration word and I notice I've started to say it to along with her Cali infamous "Ah, Man!"
