Thank You, Apple

Along with "Me," Babykins has also started using the pronoun, "I."  As in "I eat" and "I walk."  By far, though, her favorite use of the word is, "I nurse" (which, thanks to Apple, I always picture in my head as iNurse).  I've heard her repeat this phrase approximately 1 gazillion times in less than a minute when she's really determined.

We recently took a family trip to visit a college Auntiekins (my younger sister) is thinking of attending next year.  As we waited in the Admissions office to take a campus tour, Babykins climbed on my lap, looked up with a big smile, and yelled, "I nurse!"  The tour was scheduled to start any minute, so I told her she could nurse later and offered her the four other foods I had stashed in her diaper bag.  The conversation went something like this:

Me: How about some crackers?
Babykins: No crackers!
Me: Would you like some cereal?
Babykins: No cereal!
Me: You can have nice, cold milk.
Babykins: No milk!!
Me: Oh, look!  I have goldfish!  You love goldfish!
Babykins: No goldfish!!!  I nurse!
Me: Not now, Babykins.  You can nurse later.
Babykins: I nurse.  I nurse!  I nurse!!  I nurseinurseinurseinurseinurseInurseINurseINUrseINURseINURSeINURSEINURSEINURSE!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, we nursed.
