Time Flies

I can't believe it's June already!  Seems like it was just Easter, and now we're already headed for the Fourth of July.

Bethie is such a joyful girl.  She loves to tell everyone her name, which is, of course, Bethie Boo.  She used to say "Bey Boo", but already she is saying "Beppie Boo."  Her words come in more clearly every day, and there are more and more of them.  She had to go to the sitter's all last week as I'm battling a nasty bout of bronchitis, and she doesn't like that I'm sending her away.  When I went to put her jammies on her on Thursday, she said, "Go away, Mommy!  Daddy do jams."  Her first full sentence, and it was telling me off! 

She is quite the Daddy's Girl, though.  Every morning and after every nap, the first word out of her mouth is "Daddy?"  It is nice to see them together, too.  Jeff is an incredible daddy, and Bethie and I are very blessed to have him.

We've discovered a computer program called Zoodles that is a conglomerate of games and video bits for little ones.  Bethie loves to play on there more than anything these days.  After she asks for Daddy, then it's "Zoodles game?"  There are games that work on colors, numbers, shapes, letters, sorting, and pretty much anything you can imagine.  The first time she told me about a triangle I almost fell out of my chair!  She loves to sing, too.  Here she is, doing her imitation of Cookie Monster's "C is For Cookie":

She is starting to move away from the Toy Story toys in favor of the Disney Princesses and Mickey Mouse.  She likes to brush her dolls' hair and put their shoes on.  She hasn't yet discovered that their dresses come off and that their clothes can be changed, but I think that will be next.  She is chatty and happy and helpful, and she does really well with her manners.  We are just so proud of our girl!
