bah way

Dear Della,


You are upstairs as I write this taking a bath with Daddy. I just finished the cleaning the kitchen after dinner and was going over the evening of your funny quips. I have not written anything down lately so I just thought I would document one funny thing as I would really rather be playing with you and Daddy than writing right now after a long day at work today (Laika had a board meeting and we discussed our animated movies which I hope you will come to enjoy in the near future!).


Back to the subject at hand, you and Daddy got a new toy for you a couple of weeks ago. It is like paper dolls but uses magnets to attach the accessories. I was a little suspect about you actually playing with it but you have really enjoyed it.


You have started calling her Bah Way. We could not figure out what this was for a couple of days then Daddy realized what you were actually saying. You have named her Ballet. Your Daddy and I are definitely entertained by this choice.

Tonight at dinner, after your two pieces of broccoli proclaimed their love for each other, you were playing with Ballet. You "woke" her up first by announcing, "Tuwn da wight on!". See, when you are done playing with her, you put Ballet and all her accoutrement back in the box upside down just like you would Baby Mae or Betty Blue, upside down to pat their "bum bums". You were also talking about putting on her "cwocs" which I assume you were referring to your purple Crocs.


So, I was interrupted part way through writing this. You were done with your bath and came down to help me but I had a better idea. Let's put on your nigh-nights. Your new Spiderman nigh-nights. You now refer to yourself as "Spidaman-woman".

I love you,

Mama

PS-You received a postcard from our friend, Christy, today. You love it and have had us read it to you about 8 times tonight!
