Ambition

"When I grow up I can be a robot. I can't have eyes. Only lights. And I can be a girl and not a boy."

Two Friends!

Animalia was way too excited when I brought Ana (Raggedy Ann) and Petunia (teddy bear) to sit with her at her tea party last night. It was almost sad when she giggled, "I have TWO friends!" She played tea party with them happily but I couldn't help but think that she needs to see more kids. I need to put more effort into that.

Shump!

Shump. The sound Animalia makes when she is fake eating something. But not something regular. Something delicious and sweet like tea with honey or ice cream. Shump, she says when she is pretending to eat something or when she asks if she can shump something "for her mouth."

Crunch. This means something is healthy. She crunches apples and broccoli because "they're healthy because they crunch."

Neee-owwwww. This is what airplanes say.

ROOOOAAAAR. This is one of her favorite things, roaring. She roars at other children. Sometimes they get scared and run. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes she's a dinosaur when she roars, sometimes a monster. She loves being scared and tells us so. Sometimes she whispers, "Let's scare daddy and see what happens. Ready, set, go!" and then she roars and he acts scared.

She beeps and bloops and ticks and tocks and sings to herself too. Not sure what exactly she's doing with all that but I love to listen in when she's busy.
