The Christmas Season

Well, not even a month since the last post! I think it's because Laelia is saying the most adorable things and I want to share them. :) So here goes:

While cooking dinner with Laelia and Rekawae around:
Me: Rekawae, out of the kitchen!
Laelia: Does Rekawae like to be in the kitchen?
Me: Yes, but I don't like her underfoot when I'm cooking.
...and a few minutes later when Rekawae came back in...
Me: Rekawae, OUT!
Laelia: Does Rekawae like to be under your foot, Mom?

Laelia, while on the changing table, after putting with a diaper (clean) over her eyes. "I'm covering my eyes so the lights don't bright me."

"I ate all of my chicken, I ate all of my corn and I ate all of my sweet potatoes. Now I can have some blueberries!"

Laelia is walking around the Christmas tree with a little stuffed lamb making the lamb kiss all the ornaments. :)

Laelia's best quote of the day: "The angel told God not to touch the poop." I love this girl. :)

Out of the mouths of babes: "Never turn bacon down, Daddy!

Christmas morning on the chairlift Jeremy asked, "Have you had a fun morning, Laelia?"
Laelia's response? "It's the best I ever had!"

My girl is full of the greatest one-liners these days. Upon waking this morning (12/26) and coming out into the living room and seeing the aftermath of yesterday, "We had a good time opening the presents!""

Laelia wanted her water at lunch today but wasn't asking nicely, so Jeremy told her that if she does not ask politely she would not get it, but if she asked politely she would. She thought for a minute, and said, "Politely may I please have some water?"

Some of her favorite things are riding the Snowbus and going skiing.  That's my girl!  She rides on the Magic Carpet 'Ride' and the chairlift, and loves to go fast!  A big part of the skiing day is snacks, of course.  She pretty much never stops eating, but it's probably because she never stops moving!  Her favorites right now are almonds, dates, steak, coconut, and anything that we will put cinnamon and curry on.  She loves to sing, and is able to sing songs that are recognizable, which is really nice.  You can never go wrong in this house if you burst into "The Wheels on the bus," "Old MacDonald," "ABCs," "Jesus Loves Me," Twinkle, Twinkle," and recently Christmas songs of course.  She loves "Jingle Bells," "Frosty," and the gloria part of "Angels we had heard on high."

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
