Campbell-isms

I heard a couple good ways to describe Campbell: a spitfire and a ball of fire. I'd have to agree. She is just so full of energy and funny sayings....
  • I looked and looked with all my might.
  • I don't want to have a job - I'm too little. 
  • Campbell, Blake & I were laying in bed talking & Campbell said: Oh this is the best family ever...we just need one family left....Gaber.
  • I expect Blake is downstairs. (She's using 'I expect' a lot at the beginning of her sentences. Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes...not so much.)
  • I'm just in time to play with toys
  • Oh dear I need a snack I'm not very strong (while rubbing her belly)
  • (Leaving ECFE the other week, there was a guy pushing as thing that salts the sidewalk.) Campbell: Is that a carriage or a baby or what? (Funny thing is that I can't think of what exactly it's called either!)
  • Me: I got a big mess in here! Campbell: Well, Can I help you clean it up?
  • Campbell started crying and said: I don't have enough toys. Me: Why? Campbell: Because I don't have 100 toys. (Yeah, she doesn't have 100 toys, she probably has over 1000! I tried to explain to her that she is very lucky to have all the toys she has and that some kids only have 1 toy that they play with all the time. I don't know that she comprehended, but at least she stopped the crying and whining.)
  • Blake was sick & wanted to be held, so around the time when I'm usually making dinner Campbell comes strolling into the kitchen opens up the fridge door, gazes into the fridge & says: Well now what are we going to have for dinner? 
  • And this one just is too hilarious....I was showing her some old pictures & came across a picture of when Gabe & I on our wedding anniversary when I was pregnant with Campbell. I said: That's when you were in my tummy. Campbell: Where's Blake, in his tummy? (pointing to Gabe) 
Campbell has been playing with her pretend friends Chimp & Dale lately- she says they are squirrels. It's pretty funny. So I guess she doesn't mean The Chipmunks, Chip & Dale!?! 
    Lately I've been able to get Campbell to nap if I nap with her. It's so awesome snuggling with her. (She stays up late at night, but when she wasn't napping she was so cranky starting at about 3 and ready for bed when Gabe would get home from work.) The other day she opened her eyes & said 'comfy' half sleeping. It was so sweet. This is proof of an awesome nap - awesome bed head.
