The little echo

Can't get enough of my Flop.

Faith-y took a little bit of a nap this afternoon for once in her life, and so she was a ball of laughs tonight and wanted to stay awake longer than her Dee and Beeba Show. She is in love with the D.W. character of the 'Arthur' series, and she wanted to read to me tonight. It is adorable the way she reads: "D Dub-a-uuuu." She then continued on a lengthy conversation and reason to Dan and I as to why she just loves this home as compared to the apartment, "I love this new home. I no like my old home. There are too many fruit flies in my old home (hahahaha she still remembers when our orchard picked peaches attracted an ungodly amount of fruit flies in the summer!). This yuck. I hate my old home. I love this new home with buuuuutiful lights."

Our Beebster is her big sister's echo. They are just too much when they are together. They spend the whole entire day together, and despite getting on each other's nerves every now and again, they are absolutely inseparable. This morning I lay in bed laughing to myself when Maddie told Faith "ewwww, your breath smells like rotten eggs and cottage [cheese]" (what about THAT for a description?!) and Faith just laughs after Maddie starts giggling uncontrollably and replies, "No way! My breath smells like a BOUQUET!"

It's funny though to hear them playing throughout the course of a day. Faith watches everything that Maddie does and then copies it almost instantaneously. They've been practicing their wedding march song lately since the princesses have been marrying their coordinating princes in their new game. The other day Maddie was pretending that she was marrying our nutcracker, and I heard Faith immediately go rummaging through the playpen looking for Buzz (Lightyear). She heard Maddie talking to the nutcracker, and so she'd turn to Buzz and say "Buzz, I love you" (and to this, you would hear "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!!" going off from accidentally pressing his buttons!).

As Faith was reading her D.W. books to me tonight, I had to smile at how incredible of a sister she is. She sat there wearing ballet shoes with her pajamas. Why? Because Maddie was wearing ballet shoes with her pajamas also, and so Faith had to do the same thing. She sat there explaining to me that D.W. is not nice in one of the books because she was telling her baby sissy to not talk a certain way. Faith said, "this a no too nice a baby sissy. I tell Beeba Show, you a nice baby sissy. I love you."
