Neighbors and Sassiness

We had a fun send-off party for two of our neighbors this week. They invited us all over a mere few hours before they drove off, so we came with grocery bags and bartered over taking their condiments and perishable foods. We wouldn't want them to be burdened with packing too many bottles of wine, would we? Here's an action shot:

While we were there, Mali was trying to get my attention by calling "Mommy" across the room. When that didn't work, she resorted to "Kaethe, Kaethe!", which certainly attracted everyone within earshot. Especially those of our neighbors that think that everything she does is adorable. Now, we had had a long discussion earlier that day about how Mommy's name is Kaethe, much like her friend, Kaeta, (pronounced the same), so I'm hoping that is what triggered it. Regardless, I hoped we corrected her effectively, although there definitely was a lot of giggling involved.
