How bout this one?

Sorry for the long pause in posting... life is busy. and good. and busy. Omi talks up a storm and pulls out funny phrases from who knows where. She's funny. And has a cold, so she's grouchy. And funny... but not at the same time. Although I do laugh at her when she tries to throw a temper tantrum. I think it is funny and it irritates her, so she stops temper tantrum-ing... which is good.

The other day she was snuggling with me in the rocking chair (snuggles are rare because she is always on the go). She took my hand and looked up at me and slightly shaking my hand, she said sweetly, "Nice to meet you." I think she thinks it is some sort of term of endearment, because she only says it at times when you'd expect her to say something like "I love you". It is sweet and melts my heart.

Yesterday I asked her what dress she would like to wear to church. She flung the closet door open and said, "How bout this one?" pulling out her white dress, then "hm. How about this one?" pulling out her blue Chinese dress.

Naomi was sitting on Kimi's lap in church and she turned to me with outstretched arms and said, "come here" (she wanted to comfort me with hugs).

There were cute cuddly penguins on the t.v. the other day and Naomi really wanted to give them hugs, so she stood right in front of the t.v. with her arms outstretched saying, "come here, come here." (Kind of like Dory in Finding Nemo when she's beckoning the whale to come here, little fellow.)

Kimi was loading her into her carseat this afternoon and Naomi didn't want to get in, so she said, "NO. STOP. Pleeeease. Snuggles?" And gave Kimi 5minutes of snuggles in the grocery store parking lot.

life is good. Happy almost Christmas.
