Me: How did you get that scratch?
BB: Joydie. Joydie did it.
Me: What did Jordy do?
BB: She squatched me.

Couple of minutes later.

BB: Bubu. Bubu on face.
Me: Where?
BB: Joydie. Joydie did it.
Me: What did Jordy do?
BB: Joydie hit me.

Every friendship has it’s ups and downs. I think they are at the “downs” right now.

"No later mommy!"

I was sent by “your highness” (aka Bug) to update the long overdue updatable information on her majesty’s blog.
No, I am not roll playing by any means. I am just going along with what life has thrown in our way. The one who rules our world, she who inherited her father’s iron will.

She is the “ruler” of my world. She tells me how to do things or not to do things.
She tells me the obvious and the not so obvious.
She takes me out for a walk or a stroll or just to get some fresh air. No, it is not my choice. I don’t have a say. I only obey.

This past month we had both Mor Mor and Agi (that is how she calls her) visiting. Bug also got to go to Disney Land and spent hours and hours on her beloved beach and the
pool.
She is also 2. We do have the occasional “melt downs” but they are so rare that we still think: “How lucky we are…!”

She talks a lot now. Not just words but full sentences that she puts together.
She also makes “monster” sounds, sings along songs and will tell little poems.
She has such a deep love for the outdoors and the little creatures she meets each day.
She is just amazing.

Blanket

I have been searching for a replacement of Naddie's blanket in case something should ever happen to the one that rules her world now. After so many months of searching I have almost given up and started looking at new solutions to the problem.....that is until a week ago. I decided to email the company and see if they had any left in their "warehouse", somewhere tucked away, and if I could buy that lonely blanket and provide a good home to it. Much to my surprise I got an email back that day, from Kristin, who made a deal with me. You want to find out what kind of a deal? So, I will give a shout out to my new Heroes: THANK YOU LE TOP & RABBIT MOON!!!

Larger than life

So, we are in the midst of potty & culinary training, singer & song writer in a making and last but not least a future sergeant getting educated about the lovely world of open “bubus” and bleeding “owies”.
Bug is no longer a baby. Only for those couple of minutes each night where she asks me to hold her like a baby and rock her back and forth. Just like the way she rocks her baby when she is putting her to sleep.
She is not a baby any more. She is a little human being. She sings songs now. She reads story books to us at night. She bakes muffins on days like Sunday. She asks for walks and for hugs. She tells us she loves us, and tells ME to stop. She makes friends with strange little girls and joins the game they want to play.
She is not a baby anymore. She is one little bug who is not afraid of running into the Ocean on a gloomy day. She is not afraid to pick her nose in public and will search anyone’s for “buggas”.
She is just not a baby anymore.

Will was playing this game of Q & A with Bug.

He was asking her to answer his questions and show the body parts.

"W: What do you use to hear?

BB: Eerz!

W: What do you use to see?

BB: Eyz!

W What do you use to talk?

BB: Phone!!!"

Hmm... maybe too much "talking on the phone"?
