For about two weeks everyone and
everything in the house had one name-Dada. I was dada, Dakota was dada, the
sippy cup was dada, and you get the picture. Well this week we are now all
mama! I have heard Dakota tell Dalton many times now that “I not mama! I’m
Dakota!” Slowly he is starting to call me mama and Graeme dada. He has a few
other “words” such as dog and thank you, at this point only Graeme and I (and
Stormy) know that he is saying dog and thank you but I promise, that’s what he
means. He also goes around the house pointing at the things he wants,
unfortunately for him most those things are off limits. He is obsessed with
coffee mugs! He comes straight at you hooting and pointing and grabbing for
your mug like it is some huge prize. I’m not sure what that is all about
because he doesn’t really want what’s in the cup, he just WANTS it. Meanwhile
in the Qberry household I am trying to convince my daughter that her foot,
back, finger, head etc doesn’t hurt, that she doesn’t need a band-aid or
medicine. I think she’s going to be a hypochondriac; she is convinced that she
needs medicine for every little bump and bruise and growing ache. She is also
very considerate and will offer you medicine if you tell her you are not
feeling well. She told me last week that “it’s ok mommy, Daddy will get you
medicine” when I told her I wasn’t feeling well. I suppose I should foster this
desire to take care of other people and maybe she’ll be a nurse or doctor when
she grows up. Well, that’s the happening around here, my son is learning to
talk and my daughter is trying to convince me that her finger really does hurt
and that I should tell her which one needs a band-aid. Yes you read that
correctly, I’m supposed to tell her which one is hurt because she doesn’t know.
