What Rachel Has Been Talking About

My little Rachel has become quite the little chatter box. She talks and talks all day long. She talks and sings for 2 hours after we put her to bed. This really bothers all of her other siblings that she still has to share a room with. But it is still pretty cute. Recently she has been asking/telling me about a few specific things. She has been telling us that she really wants to fly like a bird. The first time this came up, Rachel said, "I want to fly like a bird." I told her she could fly in an airplane. Rachel started to cry and say, "I don't want to fly in an airplane. I want to fly like a bird." So I told her that she could fly like a bird when she is resurrected. Then she was happy again (few). A few days later Rachel said that she wanted to fly like a bird so she could go up to the airplanes and knock them down (Hmm...)

Rachel has also spent a lot of time telling me about her birthday and what she wants for her birthday. She made a funny list the other day. Rachel said, "for my birthday I want a castle I can live in, or to fly like a bird or $3." She talks about having a pink birthday cake with no candles and how she needs to have a new dress for her birthday. Today, she said, "I need to go to the store and buy a new dress for my birthday tomorrow." (Actually, I have been planning to go to Macy's to see if they have any dresses on sale for my girls for next summer.)

The other thing Rachel has spent a lot of time telling me about is her wedding. She came up to me and said, "Mom, when my dreams come true I will have a wedding and get married in the Temple. My dress will be beautiful and my Prince will come and get me. We will have a wedding cake and it will be beautiful." When John was leaving for the Temple yesterday Rachel came up to him and said, "Where are you going, Dad?" John said, "To the Temple." Rachel got really excited and said, "I will get Mom and we will go too and then I can get a dress and get married."

She sure is my girly princess girl.
