Looking back over our last year in print reminds me that this blog (and the book we make from it) is probably the only family history journal we'll ever have. Which makes me think about the little every day things that I'll want to remember in 10 or 20 years. So here are a couple:The other day I was cooking or cleaning or something in the kitchen and Rachel was hanging out with me, and had brought a marker and paper to keep herself entertained. At one point I turned around and found her laying on her stomach coloring, apparently pretending to write words. She was saying the words out loud as she "wrote" each one: "Mommy. Rachel. Daddy. Grandma and Grandpa Campbell. Mommy Campbell. Rachel Campbell. Reesey Campbell. I. Love. You. Grandma and Grandpa."
I am hosting a baby shower on Saturday, so I bought a bag full of rubber duckies to use to decorate.
I tied little pink bows around their heads, since she's having a baby girl, but got tired after 10 or 12 ducks, so Rachel got the remaining ducks. Which she loves. Except for when they scare her, I guess. At dinner last night she looked over at them sitting on the counter and said, "The rubber duckies are scaring me!" I asked her why and she replied, "'Cause they're mad at me." So I told the rubber duckies to be nice to Rachel and be happy. This morning during breakfast she was talking to her ducks who had now joined her at the table. She gave them a talking to, shaking her finger at them while she scolded: "You rubber duckies be nice! You don't be mad! You obey and be good!" Then she went on to sing to them: "When my mother calls me, quickly I'll obey..." A little later she had all six in her arms: "Ohhhhh. They just need some hugs. Ohhh. Der you go duckies. Now you feel better!"
