Nekkis

So tonight the baby is doubled over coughing uncontrollably while she's trying to eat a snack before bedtime and my son says, "Yep, she's got the Whooping (as in pertussis)."

She completely stops coughing, turns and looks at him and says, "I am not poopy!"

Oh my goodness, we couldn't stop laughing.

This same brother just got his braces Wednesday morning. I asked the baby to look at him and tell me what was on his teeth. Her answer? Nekkis! (as in necklace)

I wonder if she got confused and thought braces were bracelets. And from there to necklace isn't a far jump. For what they're costing us, there ought to be a diamond solitaire in there somewhere! (and seriously, I am gonna tear myself away from here and start hanging out here).
