When Natalie climbs onto a chair while it is still under the table - thus getting stuck and crying because she is in a kneeling position wedged between the chair and the table.
Shortly after putting Natalie to bed the other night we heard loud shouting from her room. It didn't quite sound like crying but I was not sure what it was, so I went in to find out. She proceeded to sing "Happy birthday to you daddy. Happy birthday to you". (It wasn't my birthday, but it made my heart melt).
How much Natalie likes to hold her sister Kaia "by self", meaning by herself. She gives her kisses, snuggles with her, and sometimes tickles her too.
How much Natalie likes to sing and dance.
How much fun it is to chase and tickle Natalie.
The way Natalie says "wawer" instead of water.
How excited she gets when she sees the moon. she just loves to look for it and is always disappointed if it is not out or it is too cloudy to see it.
How much she loves to run when we are outside - and how often her running is accompanied by her saying "corre Natalie, corre Natalie"! Plus, when she runs, it is often only her left arm that pumps vigorously, while the other one just flops around at her side.
Natalie is quite smart already, and when we went to the store the other day, she asked for a peppermint because I sometimes share a peppermint with her after a trip to the store. Since we had already had a treat that day, I told her that we wouldn't get a peppermint. she promptly said, "Natalie want peppermint. Help stomach feel better". She is already feigning illness to try and get what she wants!!!
