More Carmenisms

Carmen used to call her friend Braxton "Bobby".  He would get really upset every time she said his name.  "I'm BRAXTON, not BOBBY!"

Two-year-olds learn quickly as they master making sounds with their mouths and learn to formulate sentences.  "Bobby" has now evolved into a name that sounds a bit like "Button" with an occasional "x" in it.  This weekend, Braxton's family went to Grandma's house and I had the opportunity to feed their cats.  Carmen loved coming over and seeing Kanga and Roo.  This morning, after dropping Mark off at work, she said, "Bra-tin's house!  Roo house!" because she remembered the names of the cats that lived there. <3  I love having a two-year-old!!

She also used to use the phrase, "I hold you!" to ask us to pick her up and carry her downstairs or wherever we're going.  This morning, her grammar evolved again.  "I hold you me!" she said.

On Friday night, we had another game night at our house.  Jorgen came over and while they were saying goodbye to each other, I said, "Hey, Carmen, can you say, 'I love you, Jorgen'?" and she parroted, "I love you, Jorgen!"  This is the first time she's said, "I love you" to anyone!  Cute!!

Today, I was cleaning the kitchen and I turned around and saw Carmen standing there with her eyes closed and her arms folded.  "Father, thank you thank you, sippy." she said.  Sadie said, "Carmen's saying a prayer!"  ... which I thought was really cute.  When we say prayer at dinner, we ask Carmen which parent she wants to have say it.  Lately, she's been saying, "I do it!" and then folds her arms and starts mumbling gibberish.  It's kinda funny, because sometimes she actually says words and other times she just mumbles cute stuff.

Anywho.  I've been kind of sick since Carmen's birthday on Wednesday.  I hope to write more in the future, but life just got really busy.

Mark got a job in Austin and we're moving in July.

HOLY COW.
