Monkey Business







We are here, we are here! What can I say? Laina keeps us busy and life in general just seems to fly by so quickly. I find it difficult to spend time at the computer. Laina is a lot of fun at three years old, she has an extremely active imagination, it's hard to keep up. She invents a lot of things and we really have to try and remember them, because she does and they come up in our everyday play. For instance, she starts all her pretend games with "How about..., one day she said "How about you see a Hatzig bird", and I replied "What's a Hatzig bird?, her answer was "Hatzig birds are born with hats on so it is fun to see them and their different hats". A cool concept. This was about a month ago, and this morning she said, "Mommy, how about some Hatzig birds are lost and want to come in our house and live with us.." You really have to pay attention! She was a very cute monkey on Halloween, so there's a picture of her in her monkey hat. She helped her dad make applesauce, and of course wore her kitchen clothes...dressups are very important these days. There's another photo of her just hanging out in her favorite dancing attire. I am also including one of her with her training chopsticks, showing us that she can pick up a single pea, and another of her hiding in a recycling bag. One evening I heard Jimmy laughing to himself and asked him what was so funny. He just pointed and there on the telephone table was Laina's Little Mermaid phone, in our phone charger! It wasn't beeping very well and I had told her earlier in the day that it probably was running out of batteries. She obviously "gets it ". That's all for now, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
