Jane can say a lot of things.
Really, she's extremely vocal. But there are a few select phrases (like all children) repeated all day long:
"Momeese! Momeese!" (combo Mommy and please -- she's nothing if not efficient)
"Mom, Mom, Mom, I all done now. I all done now."
"I want it. I want it."
Jane desperately telling me "I want it, I want it." You can ask my mother: The girl throws her fits just like her mom. That's my public disclosure for the day.
"Read it."
"Open it."
"No, no, no, no, no." (Rarely is the word only used once.)
"Up, please. Up, please."
"Num num num." (Her food request.)
"Book. Book. Book."
And my personal favorite (always said in the car in a repetitive scream until acknowledgement): "Mom! Mom! Mom!"
Add to this Elliot's coos, laughs and cries (remember, he cries like a 6-year-old girl) throughout the day and you have my personal soundtrack. Do you want a copy?

umm, i have my Mom. Just be comforted in knowing we all are going through it too. My favorite being the high pitched squeal accompanied by loud sobbing....happens like 10 x a day here
opps, I am a bad typer. I meant to say I have my own as a Mom......
aacording to my mother olivia is bratty just like me too! i don't recall you throwing fits?-- :)
No thanks....I have my own!
My personal soundtrack also includes inane songs from children's shows playing over and over in my head. Even when the child is asleep.
Maybe we should swap soundtracks. It always seems like I can tune out other people's children much better than my own. The sounds of your own children always hit directly in the one spot Tylenol can never quite reach. LOVE IT!!!
Rachel, that picture of Jane is CLASSIC. That is exactly the image I remember of your fits growing up (and let's remember, I'm the younger sister).
LOL! I have that EXACT same soundtrack on repeat in my car and at my house too (except for the Elliot part)! Let me know if it ever gets to be too much to handle and we can hang out together and listen to double the soundtrack.
