Snippets

In two hours, I'll be leaving work to take AK for her haircut!

Thought of a couple of stories that I'd like to share...

A couple of days ago, we were looking for something to watch on TV. I think the Mickey Mouse Playhouse channel was acting up (so sue me, we watch a bit of TV while we (I) wake up in the morning...) so I found Garfield on another channel. AK thought it was HILARIOUS that a cat could talk without moving its lips. She kept saying "but cats don't TALK Mommy" and "the cat's talking... but it's not talking!" (meaning it's lips weren't moving).

When we were swimming yesterday, I encouraged AK to blow some bubbles to keep up with what she learned at swim lessons over the summer. She gladly blew bubbles and balked when I asked her to put her face in the water. She eventually did it for a microsecond. I asked Jess to see if she could get AK to do it and when Jess asked AK, AK replied "I already did that!". It took a lot of coaxing and AK never did put her face in the water again but she did blow lots of bubbles.

On that note, she is also fighting getting her hair wet to have it washed again. She does it but she really doesn't enjoy it. I talked to her yesterday about perhaps wearing goggles in the pool as she didn't like Hunter splashing her but she's got to learn that it's a pool, people will splash.

And I guess if this is the worst problem I have with AK, well then, who am I to complain? I just wish I could help her be a little bit braver.

Ta ta til next time! xo
