Seven of June’s Favorite Things:
1. her Thomas bed. No drama, no fussing as Masala Papa dismantled her crib last weekend. She’s already demonstrated how she can climb it and sit on top, thanks to our super helpful 9-year-old neighbor who showed her how. Oy.
2. Croco. Can’t sleep without it, ever since Day One. That's him behind her in the picture. We have visions of her sucking him in her dorm room. No need to test her olfactory senses - she tells me whenever Croco’s stinky. Which means I have to wash it. Which brings me to…
3. Telling Masala Mama what to do. Little Miss Commando orders me around like a drill seargent in boot camp: Mama, turn off the light, it’s too bright in here. Mama, I don’t want to pull my underwear up. You do it. Mama, put Pepper downstairs, he’s bothering me. She’s got imperative sentences down pat.
4. Telling Masala Mama that she made a great meal several times during the course of dinner. This makes up for #3.
5. Typing. She loves, loves, loves the computer. She knows all her letters and can spell her name. All those nights watching Wheel of Fortune are paying off!
6. Picking a chocolate from the Godiva box. When will this box be finished?
7. Things around the house currently on the most popular list: flashlights, nail polish, sparkly tiara with equally sparkly jewels for her finger and ears, easel, Telulah the turtle, keys, the kitchen stool, her sparkly red party shoes (worn below) and pictures of Pepper when he was a puppy, which she pulls out whenever someone visits.
