Simone-isms

Simone has been sick since last weekend and I've received more lovin' from her in the past six day than I have in her almost two years of life. It's been a bonding experience for sure. Today she was resting her head on my belly when the baby kicked and actually moved her head. She got really still then after being kicked a  few more times she turned to me with a frown and accusingly commanded me to "dop!" (stop) I told her it was the baby and as she laid back down she said "no, no, no!" It's safe to say she didn't believe me :)

Favorite Simone-ism = coming right up to my face, cocking her head to the side in a very motherly way and whispering "hi" while gently holding my face with her little hands. Then she kisses me all over the face.  I cannot express in words how sweet and kind Simone is. You just have to experience it yourself to understand.

One of the things I adore about Simone is that she's one big contradiction.  Her sweetness goes hand in hand with her sass and spunk. I laugh on the inside when I tell her to stop making a mess, or to pick up her toys and she turns to me and with furrowed brow, pursed lips and tiny finger to her mouth tells me to "shhhh." Sometimes I can't hold the laughter in and she gets pretty offended that I didn't take her as seriously as she takes herself.

This evening I told her to stop pulling on the blinds and she shushed me and said no. Sams shook his head in disbelief and said... "she's got a strrrong will!" hahaha.
