Oh to be the baby!


  • Climb in and out of the Lego toy bin for 6 minutes.
  • Wander the house.
  • Find paci - the long-lost friend- amid the nursery pile of baby blankets that are supposed to go there and certainly not in the crib where Mommy puts them with me to sleep. 
  • Talk to paci, reciting his name affectionately a handful of times before putting him in his right place - where he fits so well. Paci remains in my mouth for the next 24 minutes. 
  • Immediate hand to rub that one comfortable place on my belly. It always happens that way when paci is in place.
  • More hallway walking.
  • Climb up on the couch - oh the effort- and bang the blinds a while - what a joyful event!
  • Talk to ride-on cow about the latest happenings.
  • Throw all the blankets off the couch Rachael put up there for her babies earlier this morning.
  • Drag one of the blankets back over to share with cow, resuming our intimate meeting by the cat tree.
  • More hallway wandering.
  • Drag the play guitar on the kitchen floor. It sounds so funny that it makes me smile.
  • Roll on the living room floor while kicking my legs in the air.
  • Try to ride the cat carrier.
  • Eyeballs peeking up over the table edge and putting an arm up there in hopes of finding treasure.
  • Smack a few magnets off the fridge as I walk by.
  • Wooden puzzle time- putting all the circle piece on their pegs. Dumping over my head and redoing.
  • Abandon puzzle.
  • OOOOOH look! Mommy caught a meow! - HURRY! Hurry!
  • Calling "Meow's!" and confusion why they run when I just want to give them big hugs while squealing.
  • Wander around looking for Rachael.
  • Observe Rachael's play.
  • Show Daddy the necklaces Rachael dropped.
  • Laugh and flap my arms in excitement that he might put them on me.
  • Wear necklaces with pride - parading through the playroom.
  • Turn a few nearby toys in my hands to inspect them.
  • Join in Rachael's marching-band parade with the addition of jingle bells.
  • Oh look! Books!
  • Abandon parade route and instrument.
  • Commence edible book review.
  • Talk to Daddy on play phone, then give Mommy a turn.
  • Run to Mommy saying, "neigh, neigh" and flapping my arms so she'll put me on the rocking horse.
  • "Down" gets me off.
  • Laughing that "down" worked. 
  • Ooooh! Daddy's putting Rachael in her food chair! How exciting! RUN!
This has been a 35 minute walk in her little shoes.

- love her.
