Caw-doo, wuvie

Have you ever wondered if you say or do certain things repeatedly without thinking about it? In order to find out, you just need a two-year-old to follow you around. Within a few days, they will have identified your quirks and begun to copy them. Here are some of the quirks that have been “identified” around our house (and some other Raine-isms):

1. “Hi Caw-doo wuvie.” Anytime Raine says Carter’s name it is followed by “wuvie” (aka lovey). And she always says it with a whole load of attitude.

2. The other day we were driving in the car and Carter started getting upset. Soon we heard Raine, “Caw-doo, sshhhhhh. Sshhhh, Caw-doo.” Yep, when Carter cries we shush him just like we learned on “Happiest Baby on the Block.”

3. If you ever hear Raine saying, “careful, careful” you better go check on her because it means that she is climbing on something. (Obviously my warnings aren’t really having the desired effect.)

4. A while ago, Raine started saying “Eww, gwoss” every time I changed her diaper. Apparently I haven’t been real subtle about what I find in her diapers!

5. When Raine wakes up in the morning she scoops her hair out of her face and says “cwazy haiw.”

6. “Spit on it!” This one is ALL DJ. His natural remedy for itchy mosquito bites is to spit on them, so now Raine walks around asking you to spit on her “bug bites.” She also applies her own spit to anything she thinks is a bite on your leg, so watch out!

At this age, there seems to be a constant stream of hilarious, quirky things she does or says. She really keeps us laughing.

    What a girl!! It was so fun to be there and see her in action! (By the way, I’m quite sure that spit on a bug bite is an old Welsh remedy!)
