The Sosbes: Rayna {Jan-Spring}

Rayna is at such a sweet, fun, and trying age ;) She is extremely smart, dramatic, silly, and lovable. She currently LOVES princesses (her favorites include Cinderella & Belle), barbies, dress up, reading books, legos, puzzles, The Little Gym, her scooter, singing songs, coloring, and being her sister's shadow. Her vocabulary has exploded and she talks nonstop! I love her little voice and the way she mispronounces certain words (wish I could bottle up this age). She loves learning with Rylee when she is doing homework (practices sight words with her by repeating them, counts to 15, "reads", and so much more). Rayna keeps me on my toes with her fearless little self and always wanting to be so busy. She is so ready to become three years old and tells me daily that it's almost her princess birthday and has learned to hold up the number 3 now. I love everything about my sweet & sassy girl and wish time would just slow down.

Favorite words/phrases I want to remember:

"Where we gonin?"
"This is so boring!" - learned from Rylee and says about things she does not like...buckling her seatbelt, eating certain food, etc.
"Lexa, tell me a joke!" - talking to Alexa (daddy's new bday present)
"You're making my heart sad" - when she gets in trouble and cries
"You're not going to get a trophy!" - when playing a game/competetive all ready (she tells daddy this every time lol)
'No boys allowed!"
"Ummm nope!"
Me to Rayna (while eating popcorn), "Are you done Rayna?" Rayna to me, "No....see that right there? That means I'm not done."
"I marry you, Mommy" <3
"You're a weedow!" (weirdo)
"I'm not a baby, I'm a baby big girl!"
"Ryy-weee!" (LOVE how she says Rylee's name :)
"I lush you" (LOVE this too....she likes to tell mommy and daddy ALL day long out of the blue that she loves us)
"I don't know eater" (either)
"gusting!" (disgustin)
"Are we going to look at toys or what?!" (while shopping at Target) and "Are you going to give me a snack or what?!"
"Where are the germs? I don't see them!" - when Mommy had the flu and could not be with me
"Hi, I'm Mommy!" - loves to imitate me (wears my house shoes and waves saying this over and over again lol)
Told Rayna to eat her food and Rylee chimed in telling her to eat and Rayna told Rylee, "don't worry about me!"
"My toot taste like a blueberry!" - LOL soooo gross and she has never tasted a blueberry!?
"I don't want to goto timeout! I want to goto Disney World!" - when she gets in trouble this is her response every time lol. Countdown to Disney and she is ready to go!
"Where is you?" (when Rylee plays hide and seek from her)
"I'm going to tell you a sticker" (secret)
Talking about big girl school and Rayna asks, "Are teachers real?" :)
Pointing to her belly button, "My throat really hurts!"
"Get out wedgie! You're going to go to timeout!"
"Oopsy turtle!" - when something happens on accident
Kisses me on the lips then says, "I marry you, Mommy!"
Was very scared and cried at the rodeo when the fireworks started. Ever since then she has been telling me everyday, "I promise I will not cry at Cinderella's house at the fireworks because I am brave like Merida!" I told her we will watch a firework show at DisneyWorld when we go and that was her response. So serious and so sure about it :)
Talking about going to big girl school (preschool this fall) and she keeps telling me that it will be an Anna and Elsa school all about princesses. I told her that she will not learn about princesses but will get to learn all about Jesus! Then she responds in the sweetest little voice, "Is Jesus going to be there?" Love how innocent their little minds and hearts are at this age <3

Fun at the Houston Rodeo! This is their second year to go and they loved it...besides the fireworks in the beginning which scared the you know what out of Rayna and had her crying and holding on to me for dear life the rest of the night.
