Sweet Times

Mommy and I started a new silly thing. She holds me like a baby, and sings "rock-a-bye baby" to me. I sing along with her "barbie bye bye", and then on the last word of the song, she tickles me.

I love to ask for this, and it's a sweet cuddly time for us.

I'm really repeating a lot of things now, sounds and words, and love to try to say big things, like the whole "this little piggy".

i'm keeping barrettes in my hair now, so i'm looking a little less plumey.

Helpfulness

How do I help Mommy - let me count the ways...

1. if she seems to not be able to hear me, I help her by screaming at the top of my lungs... you know, just in case she missed something.

2. i set the table sometimes.

3. if i'm really tired, i let her know, often, by screaming and kicking... especially if we're in public. this way, she knows what i'm wanting from her.

4. i let mommy know if i don't like the food she gives me by throwing it on the floor. i feel this is a clear way to communicate that i dislike something.

5. when i'm done with a snack bowl, etc... i'll go and put it in the sink. sometimes, i have to be cheered the whole way there, but really, i'm making sure that mommy knows what's going on.

6. i give mommy an upper body workout by constantly squirming if she's holding me. occasionally, i treat her to monkey legs, and give her a break, but mostly, i make her do all the work. but really, she needs it...

7. i give good hugs and snuggles to make up for my naughtiness.
