She considers herself a hippo on most days – do not ask me why. She goes around calling herself a hippo

Ocassionally she is a dolphin. To be honest, I prefer the dolphin days 🙂 I once considered having a dolphin as a pet – my option was to let it live in the bath tub. I w!s NOT ten when I had this idea. I was 22.

She must have been a Hispanic in another life

Gorilla has become goriya just like tortilla 🙂

I am getting repeated reminders from the more experienced – this innocent stage will soon go away and I know they are right. We are getting there – sigh

She is more articulate and in control of what she says. She understands and expresses herself better. She sounds grown-up and mature.

She talks non-stop and has questions and a thirst to know everything. All statement begins with a “Why?” and all my answers are counteracted with another question. It is frustrating and yet endearing.

I was play eating her – giving her small nips and just having fun

Her: You should eat only food. If you eat me, I will give you “thap”

Me: I do not want to eat food – I want to eat you

Her: If you eat your food – I will be so happy and give you my happy smile

There she goes mothering me

We were shopping – I was in a different section. R and kuttyma were just roaming around and coming to meet me. They cross the women’s innerwear section

Her: (pointing the bras and screaming) My mommy wears them. Let us buy for mommy dada

I would have loved to see R’s face at that instant

***********************

Her: I am mad at you dada for not wearing it.

It referring to some foam shapes that dada and daughter wore as crowns and capes
