Out of the Mouth of a Toddler

Rachel makes us laugh and smile on a daily basis by some of the things she says. Here are some of our conversations that I have remembered recently:

• Once we found out we were pregnant I had to go to our huisart (family doctor) in order to get a referral to a midwife. After going to the huisart I called Andy to fill him on how it went. Rachel wanted to talk to Andy as well. Andy asked Rachel what the doctor said and without missing a beat Rachel responded, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!".
• Rachel loves to start out our prayers. They go something like this: "Heavenly Father... Thank you.... Mommy feel good.... Blessings.....(we fill in some blanks)Amen." It's so sweet to hear her say "mommy feel good" since I felt so crummy the first couple months of this pregnancy.
• Rachel surprised Andy one night by informing him that she had a string on her pajamas. He asked her where she learned the word string from and Rachel simply responded, "Texas".
• One day I was laying on the bed on my side and Rachel climbed up on the bed. She quickly patted my bottom and told me, "Cute bum, Mom". I'm glad someone thinks I have a cute bum! :)
• Andy asked Rachel what his name was the other day. Usually she'll say "Andy or Drew". Well, that day she responded by saying, "Handsome". I guess Rachel listens when her mom calls her dad handsome! :)
• Last night we were driving home from the grocery store and looking for another train along the track for Rachel to see. Soon enough we saw one up ahead, but it wasn't moving and was obviously not working. We told Rachel it was broken and she quickly asked, "batteries?".
