Getting Free Stuff

Mommy:Short story: Sarah got a free CD from the songwriter, Dave Kinnoin, at Bella Terra.  Long Story: At Bella Terra today, I was sitting on a chair under an awning at the back of the amphitheater to keep Poema out of the sun.  I was still on the grass where you were playing while I talked to some mommy friends. You saw people had papers with autographs from the musician. The next thing I knew you were waiting to get one. I could tell you were talking with him and as you slowly turned to walk away he was asking the people around him where your mother was. He asked alittle louder so I waved my hand and smiled, assuming he just wanted to make sure you were with an adult.
He was all packed up to leave and I noticed you had made your way over to talk to him again. He walked towards where I was now standing and said, "She's yours? Well . . . you're, you're going to have your hands full with this one." I asked him what you had been saying to him, trying to figure out what would make him react that way. He didn't give a clear answer and was just sort of shaking his head. He opened his bag and handed me a CD saying, "I don't usually give this CD to kids under 8-years-old but I think she can handle it." Then, he walked away as we thanked him.
I asked you what you were talking about with him and you said you couldn't remember . . .we will never know.  
The CD title is "Dunce Cap Kelly."  I don't know if we should use that as a clue to why he gave you the CD.  :-)

Spelling

Mommy:Tonight you informed me that my name ends with an "a" but the last sound of my name is "uh" (Lisa --- lee-ss-uh). You said my name needs to be spelled with a 'u" at the end, not an "a."  Oh, English phonics . . .  so silly.

Sarah's PJ's

Last night after Uncle Steve put you to bed you came out and said "I don't have PJ's on."  Mommy had told you that your clothes were soft enough to sleep in, but you know I have a drawer with spare clothes and PJ's.  As you were going through the drawer, there was a pair of PJ's that said "Daddy's Little Girl" on them.  You discarded them, saying "I'm Daddy's big girl.  These must be too small."     G-Momo

Stalling at Bedtime

        This evening at bedtime, after Guffaw read you "Grandpa Dropped His Glasses" and Uncle Steve helped you brush your teeth and say your prayer, you asked me for a 4 minute snuggle, "or maybe 5 minutes or maybe 9 minutes."  You told me about your office where you were working.  There are lots of books and a stairway to heaven.  If you go up the stairs you see Jesus holding a heart, not a pretend heart, a real heart from someone's chest.  Then Jesus and the heart go camping with Great Grandma Lavina, and you played hide and seek.  Great Grandma Lavina is very special to Jesus and to you, and you give her lots of kisses and hugs.

        Then you told me about your pretend family. When your mommy is busy, you have pretend mommy. I asked you if you had a 3 year and a baby, what would you do?  You said you would just play with the 3 year old.  You said you have a daughter, Growly, and you just play with her.  I knew you were stalling, but you were so entertaining it was hard to tear myself away.      G-Momo, August 24, 2011

Precipice

DADDY: The other day we were at the park. You climbed up and stood near one of the openings and said, "I am standing on a precipice." A PRECIPICE!!! You learned that word from MAGIC TREEHOUSE #1 when Jack is on a cliff by the dinosaurs.

Mary Poppins

One of your favorite things to do at G-Momo's apartment is is go to the shelf of Disney movies and pick one for viewing.  That night you picked Mary Poppins, and, as usual, your question to me was "Are there scary parts?'  I explained that at the beginning of the movie the daddy was kind of mean, but Mary Poppins taught him to play with his kids.  That sounded okay to you, so we commenced watching.  When we got to the part where everyone got angry at Michael at the bank and the children ran away, you asked me what was coming next.  I told you that the daddy was going to be fired, and you responded "I'll go into my room and play cars for that part, and when it's over you can call me back in."  It occurred to me at that point that you didn't know what "fired" meant, so I asked you if you knew.  You said "no" and I explained that it meant that the daddy was going to lose his job.  You said, "Oh, okay, I can watch that." You danced along with "Step in Time" and after the movie was over I asked you what your favorite part was.  You said it was the part when the daddy lost his job and said "Super-cali--you know that long word".  Later when you told people about the movie you explained that "The daddy gets fired, but that just means he loses his job."   G-Momo
