Stella Speaks
I know that the days of Stella's adorable misspeaks will come to an end sooner than I'd like. And I know that we will forget some of the adorable things she says -- most of them probably -- if I don't write them down. Already there have been stories that I was convinced we'd never forget and just days after they've happened, I have turned to David and asked him to remind me and his recall has been no better than mine. So I am going to try to be better about coming here and just jotting down some of the adorable daily utterances.
Surely we won't soon forget "The Statue of Liverty" or the way she sings the 92Y Silver Room shabbat introduction song, "Friday is a special day, there are three blessings that we say. One for candles, one for wine, one for challah, it takes vine." David and I sing it that way too when we have a family sing-a-long just to ensure that Stella keeps it up for as long as possible.
A few recent cute misspeaks:
While playing with Vivian recently, Stella put her finger in the little dent in the back of her sister's neck. I commented, "isn't that little dent so adorable?" or something to that effect. A few minutes later, Stella turned to me and asked, "Did I have a cement in my neck when I was a baby?"
And just today we went to the public swimming pool in Williamstown. Stella's swimming is really getting quite good and she was out swimming in the deep end for awhile. She can't really be alone out there but she let me know that she would not need any help when we "got to the mellow end."
I'm always so torn about whether or not to correct her. Part of the mommy in me thinks that perhaps I owe it to her to sharpen her vocabulary and to ensure that she not make similar mistakes at school or camp. The other much more dominant mommy part says screw it, let's let this adorableness continue as long as possible.
Oh that reminds me, Stella is in camp here in Williamstown. She has two wonderful counselors who she adores, Sue and Katie. For some reason, though, when she is talking about Sue she often calls her "Ho". That never stops being funny.
