Happy Thanksgiving

I am grateful for so many things and these two are at the top of the list.  I am blessed.

Somehow

Macy has really been cracking us up around here lately. Some of our favorite quotes are "it's awfully dark in here" and "put your hands away," which she said to JD when he was tickling her back. For months, she has been asking us "is that crazy?" or "is that silly?" about a hundred times a day. 

She also loves to role play. She will announce who she is and who we (her supporting cast) are. The most common is Macy as Mike Wazowski, JD as Sully, me as Celia, and her favorite stuffed hippo as Boo. She is also commonly "Georgio" (Curious George), JD as The Man in the Yellow Hat (which was first shortened to just "Yellow Hat" but has now changed to "Man"), and me as Professor Wiseman. The latter is our favorite because she sounds like a little hippie calling JD "Man" at the end of every sentence. 

She is very strict about staying in character and does not forget or use the wrong name. She is not happy when we call her Macy if she is in character. Rosie came to play the other day and Macy said "I'm Mike" about 250 times as Rosie kept calling her Macy. Then they would both laugh and laugh.

Her latest this week is adding the word "somehow" to the end of almost everything she says. It makes for some very funny statements.

At each stage of Macy's development I think that I want to freeze her there, yet each new stage is just as fun and wonderful.  And each day we love her even more, somehow.
