Cute Overload

• Mae in pigtails and footie pjs
• When the girls hold hands
• Mae being uber-polite.  "Sleep well" "I love you too" "You're wekkum" and whenever you ask her for something, an enthusiastic "Uh course!"
• Libby wearing fur-lined boots
• Mae giving kisses
• Libby, cutting shapes from construction paper, gluing them to a piece of paper, and then exclaiming, "That was so fun!"
• Mae drinking guava juice from a glass.  Then, empty glass still tipped upside down after she drank the last drop, she announces into the glass, "it's all gone..."
• The first time Libby wrote her name without help. And then she tells me, "well, I needed a little help with the B".
• Mae playing with her bathtub animals.  Crocodile is "dile", Penguin is "crengin".  So then I'll hear this conversation: "Hi dile. Hi crengin. Hi kangaroo (walrus). Hi octopus.
• Libby saying "you know?" as she's talking
• Mae playing "Little Mommy" as we call it.  She likes to mother her dolls.
• Libby "reading" books to Mae
• When Mae says "no fanks I don't want time for bed"
• When Libby tries to say "cinnamon"
• Mae playing the harmonica (she's pretty good)
• Libby telling Mae, "you're my best friend"
• Mae dipping string cheese in "p-b-butter", her own snack creation
• Libby very seriously running to her toy toolbox and pulling out her toy hammer whenever we're doing minor home repairs
• Mae playing with Pooh Bear and "Pligget"
• Mae memorizing and reciting/singing scenes from Cinderella, with at least 50% made up words but 100% enthusiasm and heart
• Libby asking for "round candies with Ms on them"
• Both girls pronouncing "perfect" as "perf-tick"
• Mae sitting in a child-size chair, pink play outfit, hair combed. Smiles sweetly at me and says, "I just farted."
