Amelia says the funniest things.
Tonight I asked Amelia what her baby’s name is (you know the one in my tummy) and she said “it’s cute.” So from this point forward the baby will be named “it’s cute” unless she comes up with another name, we’re just hoping it isn’t Dora, Diego or Kai-Lan. She called the baby Gabby recently after hearing the name Gabriella…who knows, perhaps she knows something we don’t.
We play this game where Amelia pretends to be a princess like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty and she pretends to sleep on the floor with her arms folded on her chest waiting for a kiss to wake her up. Well, tonight Dustin was pretending to be a sleeping prince and Amelia was kissing him to wake him up. Each time she would kiss him his eyes would pop open, he’d yell “ROAR” and tickle her. It was so cute watching them play this game. Well all of a sudden Amelia decided she’d scare daddy back. She sat up and said “I scare Daddy!” and she let out the loudest and funniest “ROAR!” we’ve ever heard. She kept doing it over and over running around him yelling “ROAR!”. I had tears in my eyes by the time she stopped.
Shortly after that she was standing next to me and I asked her what was on my arms, pointing to the freckles hoping she’d remember that she called them “arm stars” back in July. Nope, she looked at them and said “they’re nipples mommy.” Apparently I have hundreds of tiny nipples on my arms.
As I’ve said before, she’s very creative and has opinions about everything. Our bed time routine is important to all of us, it’s our guaranteed play time where we focus on being a family, it’s something we’ve always enjoyed. Bed time tonight was undoubtedly one of my favorites in the last 2 years.
