Fun times with our real life friends... amazing

Last weekend our friends came over for dinner and to play. We had a great time. Seconds after they closed the door to go home Sadie says, "I wa play Peeza again." Later on we gave the girls a bath and afterwards I was dressing Sadie and she declares again, "I wa play Peeza." She missed her friend already! (Peeza, by the way, is Melissa. Eliza and Sadie call her that, which is the same word they use for "pizza." They both love pizza so I think its a compliment).

Sadly, Baby Kayla didn't get much camera time this time. Sorry, Kayla! Eliza talks about you often. There is a diaper cream commercial that she sees now and then. Every time it comes on, Eliza stands right in front of the tv. She carefully watches it and narrates it for me:
"Baby Kaywa is crying! Baby Kaywa is sad!" (very concerned tone)... (Baby's Mommy finally tries amazing cream)..."Baby Kaywa is happy! Yay, Mommy, Look! Baby Kaywa is happy!" (Eliza is very relieved, that commercial was stressful).

Friends Are Fun

Our friends, Nikki, Melissa and Kayla came over to play yesterday afternoon. Eliza giggled with glee for about five minutes after they arrived (literally). She never said hello, she simply laughed. She meant it to be a welcoming greeting. She was so happy her friend was home! They had finally come back from their long vacation to the beach!! While they were gone, Eliza would frequently talk about how "Peeza" (aka, Melissa) was at the beach.

I am reminded of a funny story Nikki told me. I am going to retell it now. A few months ago, Melissa was lying in bed at night. She didn't know her mom could hear her and she was chatting away to herself. She said, "I am not Peeza. I am Melissa." It is so sweet. Poor little toddler is up at night thinking about how her friends calls her "Peeza." Sadie calls her "Peeza" too because she always copies Eliza. Sorry, Melissa! We are working on it!
