Twin Conversations

George and Clara are chatterboxes now.  It is really sweet to watch them interact with each other.  They say some awesome things.  George gets in moods where he talks a mile a minute with hand motions and facial expressions.  Sometimes it is about a movie he recently watched or it is a list of what he wants to eat at lunch.  Clara's sentences are getting longer and longer.  She is really pays attention in conversation and makes very sweet comments.  Here are some recent conversations:

Outside playing in our backyard George fell off the slide and landed on his bottom -
George: I crying!
Clara: Oh! You went boom?
George: Yes!  I boom.
Clara: (patting George on the shoulder) Georgie ok?
George: I cry!
Clara: (patting her own head) Hit head?
George: No.
Clara: (patting her own bottom) Oh, booty?
George: Yes.
Clara: (leaning in to hug George) Georgie ok?
George: Yes
Clara: Good (both run off to ride bikes)
:)

In our backyard sitting on our new patio furniture-
Me (to our dog): Bailey the new chaise lounge is not for dogs. It's for people ONLY!
Clara: Me a people! Me a people!
Me: Yes Clara you are a PERSON. 
Clara: No I a people mommy.
:) 


In our playroom I am laying on the floor with Clara sitting on my back- 
Clara: (putting her Fisher Price screws in my ears)
Me: Clara please stop putting those in my ears.
Clara: Mommy I doctor.
Me: Clara please stop.
Clara: Feels good?
No sweet girl. Your play screws do not feel good in Mommy's ears.
:) 

Getting ready for a playdate with some friends -
Me: We are going to go to the skating rink.  This means you guys need to behave.  There will be lots of kids there so share your toys and be nice.  Listen to Mommy too, okay?
George: NO! No Mommy!
Me: George there is a time-out spot at the roller rink too.  You need to listen to Mommy.
Clara: Mommy, Clara no time-out. (Smiles sweetly) Clara a princess.
:)

I handed Clara her toy while playing upstairs -
Me: Clara, say thank you.
Clara: Welcome.
Me: No Clara.  You say thank you. Then I say you're welcome.  Say thank you sweetheart.
Clara: Welcome
Me: Clarabear, you say thank you when someone does something for you.
Clara: Welcome.
I gave up!

We had talked about Uncle Jay getting a job as a personal chef during the Masters in Augusta but never directly to George. We were driving to our friends' house for dinner.-
George: Uncle Jay?
Me: You miss Uncle Jay?
George: Yes.
Me: George that's sweet.
George: Cooking?
Me: Yes George Uncle Jay is cooking.
George: (silent for a while) at Masters?
Me: (stunned) Yes Georgie.  Uncle Jay is cooking at the Masters.
Then we turn onto the main street that both our friend's street and Aunt Christina's street run into.
George: (Looking around at all the houses.  Points out the window) Aunt Christina?
Me:  That's right George!  Aunt Christina lives off this street too.
George: (big smile on his face) Aunt Christina!!!!
His memory astounds me!
:)

Waking up in the morning Clara is usually extra cuddly.  One morning cuddling while watching a princess movie-
Me: Clarabear I love you! You're so sweet.
Clara: Mommy sweet too!
A few minutes later-
Clara: I a princess! I a princess!
Me: Clara is a princess.
Clara: Mommy princess too!
Me: I am?
Clara: Yep!
Melted my heart!
:)
