you are my sunshine . . .: 6.8.13

These toddler times are intense - with both positive and not as positive intensity. (; let me explain: this morning, maybe ten minutes after waking up, you went over and got your little baby from her bedspace. "Love," you said, hugging her to your face. I said, "oh you love your babies don't you" and you kissed baby and said love again, then brought baby over and said, "pnap" (which means wrap nap), and I asked, "oh, you want to wear your baby?" "O." So I got a scarf appropriate for tiny baby as you grabbed the bigger baby too, and wanted to wear them both. So, wrapped them both to you while you said to me, "bebe, oda!" "Oh? You want to yoga with your babies on you?" "Oo!" "That's so sweet, I bet they will love it!" And so you did. After a little bit they were kinda coming loose so as I tried to rewrap at your request, you must've spotted/been inspired by the chairs...which you ran over to with babies and wraps and exclaimed, "bebe, weeee!" (Which means swing!) and then "ammok," and so we made them each a wrap hammock under chairs and you swung them happily while singing and talking to them. (((: morning melt, oh my heart! We had a mamababy park date around noon so we fixed breakfast and left. We all had a great time! You (of course) swing a bunch and went down the slides, your two favourite park things (aside from running, but this park wasn't too friendly to that)! You let me know when you needed to go to the bathroom and walked me over to it. You made some new friends! Ravenna, who is a year older than you, was soo sweet, she really wanted to take your hand and walk with you, however you weren't into it at the time, so we took the opportunity to work on "space" (: you had a nice siesta in the car, though not as long as you really need, and when we got home we had some things to do. Today is the new moon (not that I need to tell you miss on your game) so I have some tinctures and oils I've been waiting to start and some laundry to sun and hang up. I wrote out a short list while you played in the kitchen, went and hung up one basket of clothes and walked out toward the back door calling you, hearing you on the back deck, and then I discovered a disaster of disasters...! You, sweet child, had used your ladle to scoop out HALF of all of the traeger grease.....all over you, the deck, the old milk box, later I discovered it was all over the dogs too....holy hell, it was a mess of all messes!!! (And I thought a poop miss was bad...) So that was fun to clean up..! Haha! Needless to say, the list didn't get done (; baba got home from her trip today too, and you were basically glued to her all evening (: when I told you this morning that she would be home today, you wanted only to use her bathroom (nearly every time we were home today haha) and kept looking for her, sweet girl. Also today/the last few days: "hao-co-co!" (helicopter has evolved), "byetuck, weeeeeooooooo" (firetruck), "pltane" (plantain), "bakh" (squash, haha), "de-juh-rus" (dangerous, as in fuel can and fire, hahaha), "I want down" and I'm blanking (; Also tonight while playing with blocks I asked you what letter was on one, you guessed a few that weren't correct, and I said, "what letter does saoirse start with?" "Esssss!!" "That's right! This is the letter s, remember?" "O." ((((: also picking up left and right a bit! And generally trying to say anything I do. Which includes a 'damnit' that I said earlier...haha. Annnnnd I've been pretty diggin on a couple of songs lately, one of which you drop everything and dance to, the other of which you sing to/with me and also just whenever, heheheee, cutest ever: "roooooola roola" haha melt!! Anyway - those tinctures and oils? Half done while you sleep away on my back. So, some photos, and I'm off!
