the twinkle in my eye

sorry about the brief post previously. i had a whole post built up in my head and then last night i heard a devastating story about a baby on australian story and i was so upset by it i just sobbed for an hour and everything flew out of my head. i’m not going to link to it or tell you about it because if you didn’t hear it you don’t need to hear it. (sometimes i think i can control these things – protect myself/others from horror – i’ve never seen the footage of people jumping from the burning twin towers because i’ve refused to.)

so the twinkle does say bbrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm when she’s playing with cars or riding her bike. she sometimes says “ca!” for a toy car and she’s consistently saying “baw?” for ball because she loves to go out the back and play soccer/basketball with the toastmonster. special k is lots of fun and plays great games with the twinkle. that’s where she learned the bbrrrmmmmm sound. special k has also taught the twinkle to put coins in her pussycat money box. the money box makes a “magical” sound as the coin goes in. she has taken the plug out of the bottom so it is literally endless fun.

the twinkle is going from a two sleep kid to a one sleep kid. most days last week she only slept once, but some days she still needs two. right now i’m trying to get her to have a morning nap before we go to mothers group, but it’s not going well. i’m sure you can hear the howling from there where you are.

i’d better go.
