Dash is my sweetest kid by nature. But nurture and preschool and a few other things have been thrown into the mix, and he is one royal pain as of lately. He is sassy, stinky, naughty, and belligerent. The chair he is standing next to is one of his favorite spots lately — the time out chair.
The only silver lining — I had another sweet boy go through this pain-in-the-neck stage, and he grew right out of it.
The golden lining — when he gets in trouble, he actually feels bad, and usually apologizes in the most lovable and charming way! And then cuddles me for five minutes before heading off to do more naughty things.
I think my quest to name Pippi’s eyes has finally been completed.
I knew one day, it would just come to me — and this is the day that it did!
Now remember….
Scout’s eyes are Army Green.
Navy’s eyes are Milk Chocolate Brown.
Dash’s Eyes are Dark Chocolate Brown.
And Pippi…
If her eyes aren’t Cinnamon Brown … then I don’t know whose are!!!
Cinnamon Brown!
Lucky her!
Brown, with just the teeniest amount of warm red in them.
FINALLY….
all eyes are named.
(But I want to kick myself for not naming Navy’s eyes, Indian Red. Some days, they have so much red in them, we say they are Milk Chocolate Brown and Indian Red at the same time. But then, Navy and Dash wouldn’t match anymore…..what a mess!)
“Uh-Huh” and “Uh-Uh” might sound similar to some, but in my world — there is a big difference.
Pippi’s response to everything is one of those sounds.
She has a dainty voice, and her responses are quick — so I have become quite the sound slayer.
I’ll ask her if she wants cereal?
“Uh-Huh”.
I’ll ask her if she wants to go to bed with her night night.
“Uh-Huh”.
I’ll ask if she wants to pick up “wavy” and “goat” and “dashy” from school?
“Uh-Huh”.
I ask her if she loves her mama?
“Uh-Uh.”
Did you catch that?
