Some Things She Said Last Week
Snuggling up with us in bed, apparently too close to our morning breath: “Mama, your face sinks. Dad, your face stinks too.”
On a 70-degree day: “I need to wear these gloves. Otherwise I will be too cold.”
In the bathtub: “You have to wash your tickytocks. Otherwise they will be stinky.”
To Baby Rosie: “You have to stay in your bed. Otherwise you cannot watch ‘Dora.’”
About 20 thousand times in reference to any wrapped item: “Is that for me? Can I open it?”
After demanding that I “make it dark so Baby Rosie can sleep,” unsatisfied by my explanation that the blinds were as closed as they get, then fooled by Jason's remedy of opening the blinds and closing them again exactly as they were before, smugly: “See, Dad knows how to do it.”

Annnnnddddd, just what are tickytocks? Enjoy every minute of this. She is growing up so very fast. I love every minute I get to spend with her. Did she get to wear her new purple gloves on the 70 degree day?

Tickytocks are armpits. Something I learned from Darby and my sisters long ago.
We loooove tickytocks. So much cuter than pits. Since you first raised Sophie's arm and tickled her tickytocks, that's what we've called them, too. And Laney's got tickytocks, I know, because I've seen Nini tickle them, too. When Sophie fails her 7th grade anatomy test, I'll let you hang the paper on your fridge. Until then, keep giving us ideas for new things to call boring old body parts.
