Today, please enjoy a collection of Gracie-isms.

Gracie's Beauty Shop
While she was combing my hair yesterday, Gracie and I had the following conversation:
Gracie: "Your bangs wook boo-ful, Mommy."
Me: "Thank you, Gracie."
Gracie: "Your side wooks boo-ful, Mommy."
Me: "Thank you, Gracie"
Gracie: "Are you awowed to have a wowwipop?"
Me: "Yes, please."
Gracie: "Here you go."
Me: "Thank you!"
Gracie: "Are you awowed to have a sickker?"
Me: "Yes, please."
Gracie: "You want a Dora sickker?"
Me: "Yes, please."
Gracie: "Here you go."
Me: "Thank you, Gracie."
Gracie: "Can I have your wowwipop, now?"

Gracie Genuflects
This morning at Mass, Gracie asked to go to the bathroom three times. After the second time, we realized what she really wanted: she wanted to genuflect (that kneeling thing we Catholics do when we enter or leave the pew at Church). Each time she left to go potty or came back from going potty, she would kneel at the end of the pew. At one point, she left the pew to practice her genuflection skills. Maybe she'll be a nun.

Gracie is a boy - sometimes.
Gracie has taken to using a new voice. It's a deep voice. And when she uses it, she says: "I'm not a girl. I'm a boy!" I guess that as long as she doesn't expect us to pay for any "operations" when she's older, we can tolerate the boy voice. We've taught her to use it to say "red-rum," which amuses us.

Gracie and Lipstick
When I put on my lipstick in the morning, Gracie likes to come up and ask for a kiss. Then she says: "Wook! I got wipstick!"

When the Baby Drops
Gracie overheard me telling my mother that the baby had dropped (in other words, I can breathe again). At dinner that night, Gracie turned to her father and said:
"Mommy dwopped the baby today. Over there on the floor."

The ABC/Twinkle Little Star Song
Gracie's interpretation of the Alphabet song:
"ABCDEFG Up above the world so high!"

That's it for now. There are more, but I'm tired. I have curtains to sew.
