While I was feeding Anna yesterday, Holly walked into the kitchen with her baby. It was a little bear that she had swaddled in a blanket. She was talking in her high, sweet "mama" voice (surely that sounds just like me), and I couldn't help but laugh at her conversation with little bear.
"Here you go, it's bedtime now. Nice to meet you." The "nice to meet you" was said like one might say "everything's going to be okay" - in a slow, comforting voice. Then she said, "Oh, are you hungry? Here you go. It's nice to meet you..." She must have said "nice to meet you" 6 times to her bear.
The she looked at me and said, "Hi Mommy! It's nice to meet you."
I have no idea where this came from, but my best guess is that she's heard the phrase and is trying it out. So next time you see Holly, don't be alarmed if she greets you with "Nice to meet you."

That's pretty hilarious! I can just imagine the seriousness in her voice comforting the little bear.
Kids are so funny when they're experimenting with the things they hear around them and us saying. Why just the other day when we were all watching Pulp Fiction, our kid kept saying...wait. Did I say Pulp Fiction? I meant Veggie Tales. Right. Boy those crazy kids, huh?!
Oh, my. This made me laugh out loud. I just want to squeeze that little girl.
