Just a strange habit or OCD?

Whenever Maeby is done eating, I take her out of her booster chair and wash her hands and face. When I’m done, she has to go back to her chair and buckle the straps. She does this every single time. I can’t recall a time, since she started doing this, that she’s missed.

Strange habit or a little OCD?

A little grindy

For some strange reason you’ve been grinding your teeth a lot. I’m pretty sure you got that from me because I grind my teeth in my sleep. It’s not fun. Except, you do it while you’re awake and running around.

I was just wondering, could you stop?

FOOD!

Walked toward the kitchen and saw your little feet sticking out from under the couch cover. I said all kinds of things to see if you’d come out of hiding. The only phrase that worked:

“Buzzy. I got num num.”

You were at your highchair faster than it took me to get the bowl, and I was closer.

The Baeby, the Sissy and the Pantry.

Lorelai climbs into the bottom pantry and disappears. I call to Dave and say,
“Look. The baeby is going to Narnia”. This happened about a month ago.

Last night, she climbed in again, but Niki saw her this time. She calls out to me and says,

“Mommy! The baeby’s going to California again!”

loving sisters

today i had time to read a short story to the girls. the baby seemed to love it. she couldn’t stop smiling and cooing the whole time. i think she just thought i was talking to her since the book was above her head propped up against the arm of the couch. it was the cutest thing.

the story was about Strawberry Shortcake and her baby sister Apple Dumplin’. I didn’t even realize they were sisters until I had started reading it. So, nik and I pretended that they were nik and lorelai. it was lorelai’s (apple’s) birthday and nik (strawberry) was going to throw a party for her. she took her baby sister around in a wagon to gather supplies. they had a great time. the party turned out great.

i could totally see my girls doing things like that together. nik already does so much for her sister without anyone telling her to. i’ve just got to keep encouraging them to play together. hopefully i do things right.
