ELEANORA AT PLAY
This
girl is full of so much fun and life. It’s so sweet watching her play. Her
personality and vocabulary have exploded lately! Here are a few of my favorite
“Eleanora-isms” lately:
“What’s
that Mommy?” (we ask about everything!) I answer. “Yeah, you’re right!” (as if
she knew and was testing me! ha!)
“You
are my BEST FRIEND! I love you.” (singing song from Little Einsteins.)
Mommy,
can I have a quarter? (errrrry day…because quarters mean a token for the
Carousel at the mall.)
Walks
out of the room. Closes door. Door swings open. “I’m BAAACK!!!”
In
princess shoes: “Introducing Princess Eleanora Rose Blair!!!”
“What’s
daddy’s whole name? Jofanin Morgin Bwair! What’s mommy’s whole name? Jifnah
Christine Bwair!”
Person
asks, how are you today? “I’m two.”
My
hair is in a braid. “Ah! Mommy, your hair is like Elsa!”
“I
wear a scarf like Jesus mommy!”
Takes
off crown, makes sad face. “I’m not a princess anymore.”
Pitches
fit about leaving the park. We get in the car and she’s still crying. “Mommy, I
need Jesus! Let’s pray!”
On
a walk around the neighborhood: “Mommy, I go Jesus’ house now.”
Me:
Elle I’m so proud of you for ____. “Mommy, I’m so proud of you too.” (mimicking
my tone)
Pulls
up to church and she exclaims: “PIZZA!!!!” (we might hang around youth/college
kids a lot! haha!)
Grabs
my mic as I’m setting up for sound check, takes center stage: “Let it go! Let
it go! Can’t hold it back anymore!”
“Mommy,
I made a mess” (at least she tells me when she gets in trouble! eek!)
“I
cuddle couch.” (she loves cuddling.)
“I
need to read my Bible story right now.” (when I ask her to clean her room! ha!)
While
sweeping: “Mommy, don’t step in my piles!”
Looks
around the living room. “Pillows are ALL AROUND US!” Haha! (It’s true though –
I like pillows!)
Out
shopping looking at clothes or something else at Target: “Nope, not cute. Mm
mm.” Shakes head.
