Bella is playing pretend alot lately....using that beautiful imagination. There are sometimes I have to stop her, though...because she keeps having conversations with herself instead of with me. For instance:
Me: Bella, what do you want for lunch?
Bella: Bella wants a daddy's sandwich. (Then in a high voice) Oh, yeah, Bella wants a daddy's sandwich. (Then back to regular voice) Ok, that sounds good.
Me: Bella, look at me. You can have a daddy's sandwich.
Bella: Ok, that sounds good.
So odd. I'm like, who are you talking to, munchkin?? Drop Dead Fred?
Right now I can hear them in their room and Bella is exclaiming "I am Princess Analise"....for those of you not familiar, it's her favorite princess from the Barbie movie, Princess and the Pauper. I just want to go in and hug her and say, Yes you are, sweets. I'm more overjoyed though, that she said "I" instead of "Bella is Princess Analise". We are dubiously trying to kick the third-person talk in this house. It's a confusing process, for example:
Bella: Bella wants a daddy sandwich.
Me: It's 'I want a daddy sandwich'.
Bella: No, mommy, Bella wants a daddy sandwich.
Me: I know, sweetie...but you need to say "I" want a daddy sandwich.
Frustrated Bella: Bella wants a daddy sandwich. Mommy have one too?
Hmmmm....we'll keep working on that. AND the fact that seashells found in the yard are NOT collectible. Last night after work, I noticed our friend the seashell infact had a slug (?) or something in it....sliming it's way across the floor. Double yuck. We now leave them outside, no matter how cool they are.

Ahhh!! Makenna was doing that too and I just kept correcting her every time she did it. Over and over and over;-) It didn't last too long though.
What's a daddy's sandwich???
I love that girl.
I didn't have the problem of my child calling himself by his name, I just had to break him of the habit of saying "me want" instead of "I want". It is confusing to explain though.
These are great posts about your family. When my two kids were little I allowed them to make as many language mistakes as they wished. When their minds were ready to incorporate correct grammar, they eagerly switched over. Some things cannot be taught until the mind is ready to learn.
Yay, Bella! And seriously, what is a daddy sandwich? And ewww--slugs es no bueno.
Slugs... ewww! Always outside.
since she usually eat PB & J, when she would see me making a sandwich with turkey or ham on it, she started calling it a daddy sandwich.
Ewww... nature is gross. And at least your kids know their own names! Both the twins think their name is Addie.
Slugs + salt= morbid fun!
Bella is a cutie, daddy sandwich, I like it!
