Hello and Welcome! This is my public blog, for sharing little bits of my life with my online friends from around the world. I'll update it with funny little things the kids do, big moments, things I think about, and other such nonsense. If I find a good recipe, I'll share. If I have a tip to make life easier, I'll share. If I win a million bucks in the lottery . . . well, I don't buy lottery tickets, so I'll stop there.

If you are a family member or close friend, perhaps you are looking for my private blog.

She Speaks

No Way!

No, seriously, "No way!". Didi's favorite words. She is gaining a pretty large vocabulary, but by far the most frequently used phrase is "no way". Her response to EVERYTHING phrased as a question or command is either "no" or "no way". Even if she is nodding yes at the same time.

Current words I love to hear:

Momma
Dadda
Buwah(Z-monster)
Lala(Baby)
Mehma (Grandma)
Dapda/Danda (Grandpa)
Donk Dan (Uncle Dan)
Doggy
Kitty cat
Ball
Catch
play
happy
that
Duck
tree
walk
me
book
blue
Yellow
yes
please
more
drink
cup
baby
hat
car
Thank you
movie
pee pee
underwear (she only said it once, and poorly, but I'm counting it)


and of course, "no. way."

I'm sure that most of you are pretty bored by this post, but after waiting so long to hear it from Z-monster, it is so exciting to hear it from Didi.

The Z-monster had his progress report today, and is doing very well. He has a great bond with his preschool teacher, and it will be sad to leave.

"Lala" is sprouting more teeth, so she will soon have eight instead of four.

You know your driving is wild when . . .

Your two-year-old shouts, "Wheeeeeee!" every time you turn a corner.
