Cheeks to Cheeks

This happens a lot whenever I put Belle to bed. Sometimes we get into silly conversations like this…

Belle: Mama, I be the blanket for Halloween. You be the pillow and Daddy will sleep on the bed.
Mom: Oh, does that mean Meimei is the bed?
Belle: No, Meimei is the blanket.
Mom: But I thought you are the blanket.
Belle: I am the bed. You be the pillow and Meimei is the blanket.
Mom: Ohh, so, I’m the pillow, Meimei is the blanket and you are the bed. And, Daddy sleeps on us?
Belle: Yes!

Most of the time I get to know about school stuff like…

Belle: Mama, I tell you a secret.
Mom: Mm-hmm.
Belle: For Halloween I want you to be Miss Elaine (her class teacher).
Mom: But I don’t want to be Miss Elaine.
Belle: It’s great (to be Miss Elaine)! I listen to Miss Elaine.

Then, there are days when I’ve wished I didn’t get to know about stuff going on in school, such as…

Belle: Mama, I kissed Joey today.
Mom: Who is Joey?
Belle: My friend.
Mom: Why did you kiss him?
Belle: Because he is my friend.
Mom: Who else did you kiss?
Belle: I kissed Aaron.
Mom: *fainted*

This is Cassie’s current favorite word.

Put her hand under running water.
Cass: HAWT!

Add some cold water into it.
Cass: HAWT!

Turn off hot water, let cold water running.
Cass: HAWT!

I wonder if she would say “HAWT!” when she sees her Mommy. Oh well, wishful thinking…

Any significance to me? Nah. It’s just another day for me: A day filled with babbling with my 19-mth old girl. She is beginning to pick up words and showing signs of willing to speak.

It must be an exhausting day for both girls today. I had just put both girls to bed and they fell asleep quite fast. Hopefully, they will not wake up middle of the night.

I love sleeping between them and hear them breathe. It is quite soothing until Belle snores.

Anyway, if today is a special day for you, a Happy day to you. Then again, today is almost coming to an end. Have a nice one.

Belle: Mommy, when I be-marry (her way of saying marry), I cannot be-marry girl.
Mom: So, who can you marry?
Belle: I be-marry boy.
Belle: I be-marry Daddy. ‘Cos Daddy sleep with my long, long time.
Mom: Oh, so you marry Daddy because he sleeps with you?
Belle: Yes.
Belle: I be-marry Junior too.
Mom:

Junior is our dog and he has been sleeping in Belle’s room for the past 3 nights. To Belle, sleeping together means being married and only married people can sleep together. I guess she got that idea from me ‘cos I once told her I need to sleep with Daddy as he and I are married.
