The little things are what light up my life:
Abrielle--
This girl is the funniest thing in the world, and it's quite clear where she gets it from... her "Dotch" (aka Faith). There's so many things that she does that she even tells us "I do it from Dotch," and she exaggerates them by about 10x. The faces. The funny noises. She is a riot!
Her voice is just adorable. I am in love with it. These are the 'Abrie-isms' of recent months:
She uses 'y' instead of 'l' ... 'yights' for lights, 'Bug's Yife' for 'Bug's Life,' 'yeggies' for leggies, etc.
She adds a 'd' after an 'n' if it's in the middle of the word... 'Minndie' for Minnie, 'Undo Moo' for Uno Moo (a game that she absolutely LOVES!), 'dinder time' for dinner time, 'I'm runnding' for I'm running, etc.
Some of her famous Abrie phrases that she says a lot to make us laugh are "ding dong, you're wrong" or "oh, hunkey dorey!" She also thinks she's funny and pretends not to hear us, and then she'll look at us and say "what?? what you said?"
Faith--
Oh my Faith-y and her beloved cowgirl Jessie. She is just too much with her Jessie doll. Nene got her a Hawaiian Jessie for Christmas, and she just adores her. She pulled the string so often that now it doesn't work, but she says "it's to prove that she's magic and that really does come to life." Faith doesn't go anywhere without her Jessie. Jessie sits at our table for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Faith takes a bite of something, and then Jessie gets force fed a bite of whatever it is that Faith just ate. Faith takes a sip from her cup, and then Jessie gets a straw in her mouth. Jessie gets pajamas at night, and gets tucked into the crib in their cottage. This is a step up from what Faith was doing as Jessie's bedtime ritual: she insisted that Jessie liked to sleep "cozy" and would wrap her up in an Air Force flag and then put her in a backpack that she would then place next to her pillow.
My Faith-y.
Maddie--
Maddie has her 1st ever "big" project for school.. a diorama. She chose to do her diorama about Siamese cats (the girl so desperately wants a cat!) and we worked on it quite a bit tonight.
Whereas Faith is the big spender in our family, Maddie is the saver. These girls have quite a bit saved up in their Disney envelope, and now Maddie made them a new one called "Calico Critters fund." She makes lists all the time of things that she wants to save her money for, and she hates to spend even $1. She even came up with her plan of starting a pet care business, and made some signs with their information. It was quite cute. She asked me to make 30 copies at work, and so far I think they've only put about 8 in local mailboxes.

Mariele also adds a d after n in the middle of a word. It is very cute, and I thought it was unique to her. I see she is not the only one :)
Really??!! That's too funny! I've always thought Abrielle and Mariele were quite similar;)
