In case you were wondering, I’ll remind you again that I have such a funny daughter. She gets these strange ideas in her head all the time. I don’t know where they come from. We got this adorable robe from Alan and Marisa in the mail the other day. London was SO excited about it. It has an embroidered Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck on the front and the hood has Minnie ears. Of course she won’t wear it when she really should be wearing it (after she gets out of the tub). Apparently that’s not what it’s for. She just wants to wear it around the house at all other times. Oh, she wants to wear it other places too but that won’t fly with me. Anyway, for some reason the other day she thought it would be a good idea to wear a tutu. This is not common for her. I don’t know where she got the idea. So to make her happy, we put one on over her pants (because the pink princess dress that she really wanted to wear is too small). It took a little convincing that it was either wear the tutu over her pants or wear it with a leotard but she finally consented to the pants. Over the tutu went the robe (or as London calls it, the Minnie “crib”. I don’t know where she gets that). Of course the Wiggles big red car slippers have to always be on her feet and the towel on her head is an important added accessory. Like I said, I don’t know where this child comes from. Speaking of her funniness, she has been saying some funny things lately too. Here are a few examples. The other day she said to me, “Mommy, when you wake up, do you say to me, ‘London, I have to go to the bathroom.’?” Hmm, do you think she hears that a lot? I came down with a migraine not too long ago and she said, “Do you want some of my medicine to help you feel better?” And now for my favorite. London has noticed my belly growing steadily. After I put her pajamas on her a couple of nights ago, I saw her putting a small stuffed bear down her pants. She quickly pulled it out and said, “It’s a baby! It’s a boy!”
