By popular demand, the next installment in Get to Know the Marshes:
10. She rubs other people's forearms when she is tired.
9. At this time, she is obsessed with getting dressed. She wears approximately four outfits per day, making laundry time even more of a chore (because she manages to get every single thing at least a little dirty). Peter annouced yesterday morning: "your youngest daughter has no fashion sense," as she wears whatever suits her, not what matches.
8. Her toes are sort of mangled. When she was born, they piled on top of each other, as though she had been well-crammed into a small space for a long time. We were reassured that as she started walking they would straighten out. They have, a little. Since they don't hurt her and don't impede her movement, we are not inclined to do anything about it. It's just one more way she's special!
7. Since we told her "there is a baby in mommy's belly," she insists there is also a baby in her belly. Hers is a girl wearing a blue dress.
6. Rebecca does not like most of Mommy's shoes. "Those are not pretty as a princess, Mommy."
5. She likes to paint her own fingernails. Needless to say, all fingernail polish is strategically hidden.
4. She prefers to eat off of everyone else's plate, even if what she has on hers is identical. "Can I have just a nibble/sip/teeny bite?"
3. She is extrememly ticklish on her neck. Her belly-laugh is awesome!
2. I call her my "peanut." If I try to substitute any other nickname (sweet-thing, baby, etc.), she will correct me. "I am your peanut, not your sweet-thing!"
1. She is fearless, trying to cross the monkey bars without help, riding Molly's big bike, jumping off of anything higher than she is. She will be our ER Kid. So far, so good on accidents, but I am knocking on wood right now!
