Little Conversations

I think it's hilarious listening to my girls mimic me through their everyday 2 and 3-year-old conversations and pretend-plays. It's even more amusing listening to what they think about on their own. Before you look at the pictures...yes, they are still in their jammies. And yes, its 2:00 in the afternoon & Izzie's braid from yesterday is all over the place like she's been in a windstorm from the 1980's. She looks like a wreck--hey, it's a very rainy Friday! (The truth is I didn't realize what a mess they looked like until I looked at the pictures!)

Anyway, here's one of their cute conversations playing 'mom:' And disclaimer---we're not raising our kids in 'the hood'. The little girls talk with an accent that would be familiar to anyone living in Jersey (Jowsey)...don't know where it came from, but it makes it that much funnier to listen to them. I guess the McLaughlins are from the east coast!

Izzie- "Mommie, I'm tiwed."
Lexie-"Okay, honey, let's go take a nap."

Izzie-"But mommie, I want some chocolate milk."

Lexie-"Sweatheart, I said you spilled your chocolate milk on the carpet so you can't have it anymoe in yoe room."


Or sometimes it's just conversations with the trillion baby dolls that grace our home. This time it's Izzie with her baby:

"Okay, hold on..we're going to chuch. Want to go to chuch? Have to cova you up with the blankie. Oh sweetie, got that on yoi face. wipe it off. okay, baby, are you weady to go ta bed? Got yoi jammies on and alweady to go to bed? okay, dropped it. I get that. Here's yoi pacifia foi goodness sakes. I just toot. You sit here.

(starts to sing & turns the lights off, dangling a whistle from a string over her face.)

Hewe's your toy...come get it. Okay sweetie . I pay da pano (begins to blow whistle and pretends it's the piano). Oh sweetie, okay time to go skating (slides across wood floors on a large comb with baby in arms). Look, thewe's my baby sista, pwaying. (drops baby on the ground) BABY! what ah you doing falling on the gwound? Ahe you okay?

"This mommie has boobies. That boy has pecks." (
Izzie while playing polly pockets in the closet).

Maybe these little mommies-in-training aren't off to a bad start! They're fun, nurturing, unpredictable, hilarious, and they don't miss a beat!

I LOVE MY LITTLE SWEETIES!!!

Listening to them actually brings back memories of an incident with my cousin, Pam. We are 3 months apart and one time someone asked, "How old are you?" I replied pointing to Pam, "Well, she's foy and I'm foe." Like we were different ages because of the way we spoke...memories...

Leave it to Izzie to come up with a new sport - "Comb Surfing". They are precious - It's fun (and sometimes scary) to hear them echo what they hear. You're such a good mommie!

I'm so impressed with how well you wrote their language. It's seriously so cute! How close are they? Is it really a year apart?

Your girls hair could seriously win a world record for the longest and the thickest at the youngest age. It is so beautiful. How cute is the way they talk!!! I wish I could hear them. How great that they can play together and are so close in age. By the time I have another one Addy will be like 10 I swear. I better get crackin':)!
