The Parnell Family: Quoteable, Part 3

Quoteable, Part 3 - PG 13 version

So Elise has been on a roll. As Nicole has probably mentioned, every night is a nightmare as far as getting this girl in bed and getting her to stay in bed. Every night she opens the door every 5 minutes to make up some new excuse as to why she should be out of her room. She loves to tell us about needing medicine for her mosquito bites. Last night she opened her door and yelled down to us that Baxter was on the couch and we needed to come get him. He was laying on top of Nicole's legs at the time. We had a laugh at that.
Well, about 10 minutes ago, and there is really no other way to put this (PG - 13 warning), she opened the door and yelled "Dad, I have a mosquito bite on my vagina. I need some spray.". I had trouble breathing and I think Nicole may have actually passed out.
Nicole told me that Elise has been mentioning this body part recently. Yesterday Elise asked Nicole if Nicole had a vagina. Nicole said yes, but Elise said that she didn't think Nicole did because she thought she saw a peanut down there.

I am now officially unable to fathom what will come out of this little girl's mouth.

By the way, if anyone is in the vacinity of Baton Rouge this saturday and can hit the side of a barn with a football pass, please report to Tiger Stadium.

Elise

Elise Laurent was born at 5:00 p.m. on July 19, 2005. We did not find out her sex during my pregnancy and we were thrilled to tears (and slightly shocked) to meet our beautiful baby girl. She was a big baby at 8lbs, 8oz, and David and I couldn't take our eyes off of her. Elise is an old French name that David and I have always loved. Laurent is both my paternal Grandfather's name and my Dad's middle name. We always dreamed of having a daughter and were so thankful and overwhelmed to be given such a blessing.
Elise is a true first born. She likes structure, likes to fully understand everything, likes her questions answered to her satisfaction. She loves to be challenged and to challenge. She is also highly sensitive and independent.
She is a wonderful big sister to Lila and Bennett....

Lila and Bennett

It would be an understatement to say that we were shocked to learn on November 11, 2006 that we were not expecting baby #2, but baby #2 and #3!! In just shy of two years we would have created quite a family!
But, on June 1st, 2007, at 36 weeks exactly, we were thrilled and completely overcome with joy and gratitude as we welcomed two big, healthy babies into our family. First, Lila Sue, named after my Mom at 7lbs 0.6oz, and secondly, Bennett Raymond, named after David, David's Dad, and my maternal Grandfather, at 7lbs 10.4oz.
Lila has been the vocal one from the start and to this day is still pretty much running the show. She is the life of the party, the entertainer. But she is also the most compassionate, most giving of our children.
Bennett is a true boy. He is active and rough and loves to tackle and throw. He also adores his sisters and his Dad and gives the best hugs around. His big baby blues get me every time.
