I don' like that!

This is Isabel's mantra. She tends to be timid in new situations, and she expresses her apprehension by repeating "I don' like that" over and over and over.

Yesterday we went to the beach. (I don't have pictures because I'm terrified of getting sand in my lens) Anyway, she loved the sand and water, but was not digging the seagulls. Every time a bird flew overhead, Izzie would scream, start running and then face plant into the sand like an ostrich. When the immediate threat had passed, she would get up slowly and say "Mama, I don' like that!).

We've been swimming a lot lately, and the twins are getting braver and braver about putting their faces under water, floating on their backs and jumping in the water. Even so, each time Izzie would emerge from the water, she would have a huge smile on her face and the words "I don' like that" on her tongue. Moments later she would be begging for more.

What a weirdo!

I'm with izzi as far as the seagulls go-- way gross and they are seriously aggressive. Trying to picnic there is rough. So sorry that we couldn't make it.

Oh yes. I am well acquainted with the I don't like thats. I especially like it when it used to refer to something on me. Like a mole or ear...
