this is the other game we play
that lets mommy have some time on the computer
while still playing with annie.
(multi-tasking)
first she closes the swinging door…
(sidenote: this is our Three’s Company door.
you know how jack always ran into someone else
with a big platter of food and it smashed in his face?)
anyway…this is how i know we about to play.
knock knock knock.
“come in!!!” i say to the door.
“Oh hello annie! what are you doing here?” i ask.
to which i always get the quick reply…
“i not annie. i the mama.”
“Oh…hello mama. who is with you today?” i ask.
“”this is my baby….maya. she was in my tummy. want to hold her?”
“Of course i do” i answer.
“she need a bottle. feed her her bottle.”
“OKay…i think she’s tired. she must need a nap in her bed” i tell her.
(this is the part where i get the computer time)
“yeah…she ti-yerd. she need a nap.
i betta be doe-in’ now.
BYE!
half a dood day!”
annie leaves to put maya for a nap.
then 3 minutes later she reappears to do it all again.
i just love a little one’s imagination.
every 3 minutes.
chris - I am glad I found you too, like you I found you before and never found my way back.
Tile is worth doing it is not hard but can , rent or buy a good tile saw and that helps a great deal , that toughest part is after the grout is applied waiting and wiping the excess off , I have not mastered that guite yet , it is a timing thing, I am completely self taught.
Thanks for stopping by
Chris
Ainslie - Ooh, it’s good to hear someone else uses little ‘diversions’ for their kids. I love the way you write Annie’s dialogue as she says it….it’s so adorable. I could listen to ‘little people’s talk’ all day…it’s just so darn cute!!!
jeanetta - super cute. and i love the door. and the 3’s company reference
chris - Love your home is is so wonderful, I have always wanted a swinging door, you are inspiring me.
Brenis - LOL! Meg I swear we were separated at birth! My daughter and I have played the same game for years. She’s mostly outgrown it now – and now the game is “here’s a book, how much can you read all by yourself??” lolol
And just want you to know.. our son (now 11) couldn’t say his “g’s” – and he would say good= dood. Well… we’ve never been able to let that one go! LOL Hubby will call on the phone and say how are you? Answer is always “I’m dood!” 😀 “it’s all dood” 😀 and occasionally I’ll slip and say that to adults outside of our family and they LOOK at me like i’ve grown 3 heads. LOLOL yah. so. there ya go. LOL
Have a great day! Hope ya’ll are feeling much better!!!!
blessings,
bren
mrslimestone - Just stumbled upon your blog. You have some gorgeous photos in here. Your family is very lucky to have someone capturing all these little moments so beautifully.
meg duerksen - a bible verse is the white…1 Peter 1:13-15.
and the purple is a preschool paper of questions to ask about their day…that annie covered with pink pen.
nothing interesting at all.
Emily Loria - I love Three’s Company. I had a crush on Jack for the longest time…
Glad you are feeling better!
Jennifer P. - come and knock on our door! We’ve been waiting for you!…… (I loved your 3’s Company reference:)!).
