Yesterday, while shopping in the mall, Raphaela started to wander off, and as I attempted to pay, I shouted toward the door [in English], "Raphaela, come back here and wait for Mommy."  She shouted back [in Hebrew], "Don't yell at me," and the other adults in line laughed at her response, and her independent spirit. 

One woman came up to me and said, "Of course she wants to explore, she's a big girl."

(Indeed, she grows every day.  I measured her height for her birthday and found that she stands tall at a bit over three feet!)

Tonight my daughter told me that I was "muy muy bonita."
