Lovin' my little Rachel

Rachel had a birthday party today next door. I was expecting her home at 1:00, but I heard a knock on my door about 12:45. Apparently she wanted to come home early. My neighbors just aerated their lawn and Rachel was freaking out because she thought the dirt clods were dog poop and there was no talking her out of it that it wasn't. The girl's dad even had to carry her off the lawn because she was freaking out so bad! What a funny girl.

Then, a little while later, Rachel and I had an interesting converstaion. While taking a bubble bath and reading a book (one of my pregnancy guilty pleasures), Rachel walks into the bathroom and looks like she is about to cry.

Me: What's wrong?

Rachel: My baby (rubbing her tummy . . . yes, we have to pretend she has one in her tummy too.)

Me: What about your baby?

Rachel: It's making me have an eyeball! (very near tears)

Me: (huh . . . pause) What does that mean?

Rachel: I fink I'm getting sick.

Me: Okay, go lay down on the couch and I'll be there in a minute.

A little while later, after my bath, I come out into the family room and she is asleep on the couch. I have no idea where she comes up with some of the stuff she says, but I love her to death! Here are a few things about Rachel that I love:
  • She will push my cheeks together and says "You're a Cute Little Mommy!"
  • She asks me "How was your sleep?" when I wake up in the morning.
  • She loves to sing and constantly makes up songs that usually begin with "Jesus wants me . . . " (I always think it will continue with 'for a sunbeam', but it doesn't)
  • She entertains herself really well.
  • She usually obeys me.
  • She is very loving. She tells me that she loves me all day long and gives me the best hugs!
  • Yesterday I was feeling really sick (the stupid flu) and she kept kissing me on the forehead.

She is such a sweet girl and I'm so glad she's mine!

Cutest pictures ever, I love the cupcake one. She is so beautiful! Mallory always said that she had a baby in her tummy too. Sorry that you are sick. If you lived here, I would come and take care of you. Feel better soon!

She is so sweet! I remember her in that bikini and those sun glasses! You are so lucky, cause most 3 year olds with hair that long don't look nearly as cute as her. I love you and I hope you feel better.

I am so happy you decreased hard drive space, so I could get to see pics of that cute Rachie. It is amazing and hysterical what comes out of the mouths of babes.

OK, so I saw that you are watching Project Runway. Me too. Who do you want to win? I like Christian, he's kinda a little brat but I love his style. The finale is this week. Did you like the fat guy? I'm mad b/c I can't remember his name, the one that got kicked off and then they brought him back... He was Hillarious. Did you see the reunion?
