a conversation with betsy grace...


lately, betsy grace has gotten funnier and funnier! here are a few recent conversations...

bg: (while holding her baby doll) "i'm HER mommy, mama", "i'm a good mommy"
me: "you are a good mommy, betsy grace"
bg: "mama, you change her clothes?!"
me: "but, betsy grace, you're her mommy"
bg: "no, i'm betsy grace!"

bg: (loudly, laughing, back seat of the car, around 6pm) "mama, i see the moon! and the moon sees me!!!!!"
" hi, moon! hi!!!!!"
"mommy, can the moon come to my house?"

daddy: (while opening the oven, talking to betsy grace) "get back, jack!"
bg: "i'm not jack, i'm betsy grace"

my favorite! you all know we call betsy grace, very affectionately, "bug"... right after nap time yesterday, she came walking into the kitchen to ask for some juice... i turned to her and said, "hey bug?" she quickly started looking around the floor and said "where, where!?!" i laughed out loud forever. she was really looking for a real bug!

we are so blessed by her! what a funny little 2 1/2 year old! 5 month post coming soon for lucy goose! xo, m

She is so cute, and I love reading about her stories.
I hate to stalk you about a birthday banner for Camp, but I'd love to have you make one if you are still doing them...

Hi! I just came across your blog quite by accident. I have a shop on etsy named 'betsygrace' after my 5th child (fourth girl). I thought it would be fun to experiment and do a google search for it. Lo and behold, it was right there at the top and a couple sites down was your cute blog. I just thought it was cute. And fun to know that someone else named their little girl betsy grace! I love it. (and I LOVE lucy, too!) I recently went private on my blog, but you could come see my shop at www.betsygrace.etsy.com! nice to meet you. :o)
