Late as always - I have so many funny stories to share from the last month in your life! Just when I think I can't find you any more precious or hysterically entertaining you prove me wrong. A couple of weeks ago went to the aquarium and the Hofbrauhaus for Daddy's birthday. You loved the aquarium, though for the most part your attention span at any given exhibit lasted about 1-2 minutes. The exception being the largest shark tunnel and the penguins. In fact, the penguins were such a big hit that we brought a stuffed baby penguin home with us - after several attempts the name Cash seems to have finally stuck. At dinner you - with Cash (who at the time was Penny) on your head - danced around the nearby tables to the accordian band.
Over the past few weeks we have been exploring a house across town and are signing a contract on it this week - hopefully we will sell our house and things will work out so we can move. The new house is in Streamland and will provide a much more child-friendly environment than busy Third Street. As you grow you will be able to ride your bike and go to friend's houses and the neighborhood pool - not to mention Dotdot and Aunt Debbie's houses - with ease. In an effort to get ourselves in order to sell, we worked cleaning and weeding around the house and yard all weekend. You very much enjoyed helping Daddy scrub the screened-in porch and front porch. At one point I came upstairs to find you covered in soap suds, half soaked smiling wide as you exclaimed "Look Mommy - I like Annie!"
Yesterday morning you were out in the yard helping me weed the patio. You did more chasing the kitty around than weeding but you provided wonderful entertianment as you treated the neighbor's kitty like a real live, human playmate. "Look kitty, I have a moose on my shirt." "Come here kitty and snuggle." "I play hide seek with kitty, Mama." "Peekaboo kitty. Peekaboo." "Kitty want to play with my shovel?" Several times you felt it necessary to explain to me that the kitty "not my kitty. I my own kitty." But despite several weeks of telling Daddy "I my own kitty to take park and hug" - Daddy is still holding out on letting you get a kitty. (Anyone reading this who finds it as pitiful as I do that Adam won't let Campbell have a kitten feel free to bombard him with hate-filled email.)
It seems not a day goes by when there aren't at least half a dozen funny stories to share with family and friends. The other evening at the pool you kept insisting that you were watching one Diego before bed. So there you sat on the top step, swimmies on your arms, one finger in the air saying over and over "I watch ONE Diego get home." Finally another little girl of about 5 swimming nearby stopped and looked at you and said "My name isn't Diego."
The other night walking with Dotdot you started dropping graham cracker crumbs along the street to feed the birds. At one point we heard a bird and you held a morsel out in your hand in front of you and said "Here Mr. Bird, do you want some of my cookie?" After holding your arm extended for about 30 seconds you threw the crumb aside, looked back with the most sincere face and said "He didn't want it Mama."
I still haven't fully grasped that you are two already. It just doesn't seem possible. But if stay half as funny as you are now, then this ride we're on is going to be a lot of fun - even if it is going by too quickly! (A little hint for the future, too. The funny times are a good way to make me forget about the infuriating attempts to get you to go to bed before 10:00 or to take a nap or to use the big girl potty. So remember that when you're 13, 14, 15 and you have ticked me off. You might be well served to do something hilarious and utterly adorable before asking me to go to the movies or to have a friend spend the night.)
All of my love-
Mommy
wow cute and adorable child.
