Just Repeating What She Hears

Fiona's very good about wanting to clean her hands when they get food on them, but her face is a different issue. Usually we find ourselves trying to grab hold of her head long enough to wipe the worst bits up as Fiona struggles and yells and we try to calm her down by saying things like "honey, sweetie, please..."

Last night as I tried to wipe the ketchup off of Fiona's face (like all too many toddlers, she'd rather have a grilled ribeye steak with ketchup than without) she yelled and struggled, but I didn't say anything. So Fiona helped me out, screaming "honey, sweetie, please!" Which sounded awfully weird coming from a voice that sounded upset.
