In early 2006, I began creating a life book for my daughter, Alex. Click here for links to articles describing my experience.
And for those of you who are more digitally inclined, in late 2006, I recreated key pages of Alex's lifebook for an article I wrote for AlphaMom, using Scrapblog.
You can see the final digital result (and leave comments, if you'd like!) here.
That's exactly where she picked it up. She says it along with Simba every time she watches the movie.
Also? We now have The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe -- and lately, she's been saying "And AHCTUALLY, I'm the TAWLEST in my CLAHSS" along with Lucy, in a perfect public-school-English accent. Every. Single. Time.
You mean if I start my son on CS Lewis and Harry Potter, he may end up with an English accent? That would definitely be preferable to the local "yinzer" dialect! ;)
Our baby gets away with way too much on sheer cuteness too....
Mary, mom to many

She is so beautiful. Of course everyone else is weird.

How funny. When my little cherub isn't telling people they're silly, it's "you're fired!" Courtesy of grandma, whose a big Apprentice fan.

I finally remembered - Simba says it to Scar. So if Alex is a Lion King fan, that may be where she picked it up.
I love how you captured a natural smile - beautiful! I'm still stuck with the cheese face when I try to take pictures.
