* Elyse is really into listing off all of her friends. She loves to name them in a sing-songy little voice, and the list usually goes like this: "Shiloh, EEEEEli, Nonny (for Natalie), Brynna, A-Day (for AJ), Ben (for Brynne), {some other names we can't make out}, etc..." The other day, she said "hi!" one-by-one to her complete list of friends and ended with, "Hi, Potty!"
* She has a little book from Gramm called "Thank You, Lord." She was prompted the other day to say "No, thank you, Mommie" instead of "NO!!!" when I asked her something, and she responded with, "No, thank you, Mommy, no thank you, Daddy, no thank you Lord."
* Elyse is totally into sharing everything food-related. She wants to give us a bit of everything she is eating or a "bite" of everything she's drinking. She's especially perplexed by the fact that Emily can't try anything. I can no longer give Elyse anything to eat without 100% supervision when she's close to Emily.
* Elyse named her dolly "Momika" for either Aunt Anneke or my friend Monika. Can't tell.
* The other night, Jordan was trying to get Elyse's attention about *something* and said "Look at me, Elyse." Elyse looked him right in the eye and said "Look at ME!" Glad I wasn't the one that had to look away!
* She is OBSESSED with going through tunnels. She asks to go through the downtown tunnel at least twice every day. I think Elyse might think that her friend Brynne lives in the tunnel, since I always reiterate that we go through the tunnel when we visit Brynne...
* Elyse is into an "okay?" phase that cracks me up. For instance, she'll ask me to read a certain book to her, and if I can't read to her at that particular time, she'll "insist" by saying, "Mommy? Read good book, OKAY??? OKAY??? OKAY???" She'll even back up to me with her little bootie so she ends up right in my lap. Hard to resist, I must say.
* WARNING: This is gross but hilarious to me. Don't scroll down if you are squeamish about spit-up. Emily isn't into saying anything FUNNY yet, but these two pictures crack me up. Gotta love self-portraits. I was wondering why I felt something warm all over my arm...

I love the "Thank you Lord" funny. Elyse cracks me up! And the pictures of Emily remind me of that picture we have of Elyse's spit-up fountain when Gramm was holding her in your backyard. Precious.
I am cracking up right now! I love the spit-up pic - too hilarious. And Elyse's phrases are SO funny! I love the Thank you Lord part too - wish I could hear her jabber! :)
