So, since the new minivan (I think I posted that I'm a minivan gal now...) ... Q watches many the movies and DVDs. One of her favorites (because I love it and there's little violence and "scary" parts) is Finding Nemo. Well, quite honestly, the days in the car of her whining of boredom are over as she calls for "more Nemo" whenever she can! We've switched it up, mermaids, cars, bears, toy story, puppydogs...but it all comes to "more Nemo!" Today we're trying "a bugs life" and it seems to be going well. She's giggling a lot and asking what each but is....if only I knew--we'll have to get Claire K over here to help us out with that task!
Well, today we're getting out of the bath (rainy day mid-day bath tub fun) and she says to me, "time let go, it be okay, i whale". Nemo line "He says it's time to let go! Everything will be okay!" -actually a Dori line while her and Marlin are in a whale and Dori speaks "whale", hence the 'I whale' at the end.
I can't even being to think about how much more she's quoting that I don't realize. But the best part was that she grabbed my shoulder like in the movie, Marlin is holding onto Dori or something like. It's a sign, I think?
Was she trying to comfort me? I'm not sure. I have been attempting to get her to nap, so maybe it's Q's way of saying "give it up Mom, no more naps ever again". She was up at 8 yesterday (actually up at 6, but fell back asleep), did not nap yesterday, and did not go to bed until after 8. Today--up at 5:30. No nap. If she sleeps at Trisha's tomorrow, I may cry. :) She's actually been a lot of fun and we've had a blast destroying the house and trying to piece it together again. I've been rearranging cabinets and drawers as my storage spaces somehow never got organized in the unpacking process. Not to mention the fact that nothing that's come into the house since we've been here has really ever had a home...so. Working on that this weekend as it's been rainy and wet and damp and gross. Q's working on finishing off all the ends of bags of snacks and ends of veggies and leftovers from the fridge. We both greatly enjoyed our bowl of cereal this morning--we've been without milk at home almost all week!! Oh well....
Q's had a runny nose and one watery eye all weekend too. On Friday there was a slight temp, but nothing more than clear goo. She's getting good at tissues! :)
On another note...Q likes parks. Mike and I like to show her new tricks. Since I sort of have a bump that would inhibit me showing her this trick....Mike did the honors. And man this hill would've been fun and close sledding!! At least we know for next year when she may enjoy stepping in snow!
