Tiny Talk Tuesday
The "big kids" are doing great with their new baby sister! David loves to hold her and is always a big help bringing me things and doing what he can on his own. It's amazing how much they grow up when another baby comes into the family. Elizabeth is suddenly huge and she adores her new baby sister.
David: Baby Rebekah is soooo cute!
Elizabeth: Baby Beka! Baby Beka!! Baby Beka!!!
David will not tolerate anyone calling her Beka except Elizabeth. If anyone else calls her "Baby Beka" David immediately corrects them with "Baby RE-bekah! Her name is RE-bekah!"
Elizabeth is also fascinated with Rebekah's wardrobe, always pointing out what she's wearing or what's on her clothes, like, "Baby Beka have flowers. Pink flowers!" or "Baby Beka have blanket, hat, warm!"
We finally caught one of the culprits who has been digging in my seedling pots at night:
Mom: Elizabeth, go look on the back porch...
Elizabeth: A cat, a cat!!!
Dad: It's not a cat.
Mom: It's a raccoon.
Elizabeth: Raccoon! Raccoon!
a little bit later
Mom: David, go look on the back porch...
David: We got a new cat!
Dad: It's not a cat
Elizabeth: Raccoon! Raccoon!
Dad: Elizabeth's right, it's a raccoon.
David: A raccoon?
Maybe we'll get a book about raccoons next time we're at the library...
later still, after Dad removed the cage from the porch
David: Where's the raccoon?
Mom: Dad's taking care of it. See the box where all our plants were? That raccoon got into them last night.
David, gasping when he saw where our plants had been: That was a baaaad raccoon.
Yes, it was. I have one asparagus left from that box. Unfortunately, there must be another varmint, because 3 more lettuce pots and another pepper pot were revenged last night. It must be a family of baaaad raccoons. And they're gonna have to go or we won't have any garden left to plant! And I'm mad about it. I don't care if they are cute.
OK, gotta get raccoons off my mind, so here's another adorable picture. I love that you can see Elizabeth playing in the background.

Yes, it's amazing how big your "babies" seem when the new baby arrives. Gavin is still so much of a baby at only 20 months but he is like Baby Huey compared to tiny Ivye at her 5 months. And they seem to grow up overnight in taking on that bigger sibling role. I love the plan of God and how He creates it to just flow and the love to abound and multiply so many times over. She is absolutely so beautiful.....she fits right in with the other 2!
OH my she is so precious! Love hearing the interaction of siblings!
Happy TTT!
