OK. My sweet darling daughter needs to expand her vocabulary. The only word she wants to say lately is mamamamamamamamamamamamama. With a clingy dog and a clingy kid, I can’t hardly even go to the bathroom in peace. And she is sort of anti-anyone else right now, including her dad, so even if someone else is here, it doesn’t really help much. It’s almost painful. (So much for me thinking that the ear tubes were the cure-all for her occasional whininess [is that spelled right?].)

So, as annoying as the constant mamamamamamamamamamamamama-ing is, she is still pretty cute. Here she is working hard at her new keyboard.

We are sort of hoping that it will help keep her paws off the laptop which we still haven’t relocated from it’s end table in the living room. Wish us luck.

She knows the sign for “all done” but sometimes she likes to throw her cup or her food so we had to do a couple of timeouts this weekend. She totally sits in the corner for a whole minute. The funny part was when her time was up and I went to sit with her to recap why she was in a timeout. I started to talk about how it’s not OK to throw food and she can just tell mommy & daddy “all done”…and out curled her bottom lip and it started to tremble. Really? All we are doing is having a little chat? If you’re going to cry do it when you get put in the timeout, not at the end of the timeout. I almost laughed.
OMG – she just butzied (aka farted) climbing into her little chair and completely unprovoked said “kin-keee….kin-keee…”. Nice.
