She's Got Power

Alexis The Power Ranger Girl

"ma" what a treasure!

I've noticed lately that Alexis has been calling me "ma". Although, I've noticed it myself, she has not mentioned anything to me about the new pronunciation of the word "mother" and her choice to call me another version.

I mention this to one of my sisters the other day and she said that she had noticed Alexis was calling me "ma" too. She said she had questioned Alexis about it several weeks ago. Alexis said she got it off Little House on The Prairie. My heart melted as I' have observed her watching Laura Ingalls Wilder and how intently she watches everything this adventurous girl does. Although, she does not watch the show daily, she definitely picked up on the special little things, like a girl calling her mother, "ma".

Smartness

Today, Londyn presented me with a book she wanted me to read to her, "Who's hiding in Noah's Ark." As we began to read, Londyn's task was to identify the animals that were hiding in the book. As I pulled down the tabs to show her the animals, she would immediately shout out what it was correctly. I told her, "you are so smart" (since she was getting them ALL right) she replied, "Uh Huh!" She was so sure of herself in her reply.

Presley's 1st Rain..........Bath

Presley Rain's 1st Bath

Rembering This

Since Presley 'Rain' had her 1st bath recently, I decided to show Londyn the video of her 1st Bath. She loooved it. She now asks me to show her over and over the video clip of when she said, "mama" for the 1st time. As she watches the video, she enjoys telling herself hi as she waves to the baby in the video; I don't think she fully realizes the baby in the video is her.

Swimming & Heaven

Londyn discovered an old picture of Alexis as a baby swimming in our pool. The picture featured Alexis in the bathing suite that Londyn now wears. Londyn brought the picture over to me and said, "that's my bathing suit" implying the baby mommy was holding was "her". Alexis, a bit distraught, explained to tell her that the baby momma was holding was "Alexis" and not Londyn. In an eager voice, Alexis said, "You were still in heaven, you weren't here yet Londyn!"
