The Word According to Beatrice
It has been one of those days that has been filled with the odd and adorable sayings of Bea.
This morning, when asked by her Daddy what she would like to do, she replied, "I'm going to a Masquerade Ball" When questioned about her knowledge of masquerade balls she informed us that her Auntie Heather had told her all about them.
We went downstairs and I asked her if she would like to watch our wedding. She replied, "Yes, when Mummy and Daddy got married. Mummy was a bride and Daddy was a broom"
At tea time, she bounced into the kitchen, announced "Beth is my best friend" and then returned to whatever was occupying her in the lounge.
At bedtime, after being sick in her bed, she needed new pyjamas, so I pulled out a Princess top. Beatrice observed, "my jamamas are all pink and sparkly and sleeping bleuty" Her pillowcase and sheet also needed changed. As I was doing this she reflected on the event that had just passed (being sick)..."Mummy, my tummy went all round and round and then it just spurted out of my mouth. I am feeling better now. My tummy is being quiet". As she snuggled under her clean quilt she said "thank you Mummy for making my bed all lovely and pinky". I melted.
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, she turned to me and stated, "Mummy when I'm a big girl, I'm going to be a bride. Not just big, but biggerer."
Finally, it was with great delight that she spread some gossip on Monday. "Mummy?" she asked. "Yes" I replied. "Do you know what Granda Robert called Granny Gina?" "No".....(pause for effect)..."He said she was a humdinger". I looked at a huge smile and two mischief filled eyes that were searching my face to ascertain if this was a compliment or something very cheeky. Knowing her Granda Robert, it could have been either.
