“I want refreshment”
Seriously folks, why do we teach them to talk? This is little sis demanding a snack - now. A refreshing one.
Little sis is slowly gearing up for school. You might notice she is now sporting a super shiny pair of pink glasses.
We’ve had her cousin here the past day or so. Last night she asked little sis why she needed glasses…I am recording the conversation for myself…feel free to roll your eyes and move on.
cousin - “Why do you need glasses?”
little-sis - “Because my mom said so”
cousin - “Can you see without them?”
little-sis - “Of course!”
cousin - ” So you don’t really need them.”
little-sis “Yes I do! My eye is lazy!”
Some explanation, both bis-sis and their cousin are writhing with jealousy that she gets glasses and they don’t.
To be honest I am having the hardest time adjusting. I was already in the throws of “my baby is going to kindergarten” and now I am fighting off “my poor baby needs glasses” with a big ol’ stick. Frankly my “poor baby” considers them the ultimate fashion accessory and is completely thrilled at all the attention.
The only problem is they make it hard for her to suck her thumb, but they are shiny and worth it. (Aren’t most shiny things?) The case is red and she calls it her suitcase. It goes it everywhere. It is amazing to see how careful she is being with them. For posterity I also have to say some of her clumsiness is making more sense what with the lazy eye and all. I also feel a little better about her mastery of the alphabet…a few months back we figured out she didn’t know W or K. 24/26 letters isn’t so bad, right?
As a side note I cannot help but wonder what I would get if I demanded refreshment? Yarn? A nap? What would you want.
