I really am trying to update a bit more often and to that end I have a new video to share. I'm going to make an effort to include more videos when I can because I actually do take a decent amount of them and Dessa gets funnier and funnier the more she talks. Of course, it may only be me who finds her hilarious but take a gander.  By the way, she's telling Dave that she loves him there near the end. Just a couple of weeks ago she finally started responding to the thousands of I-love-you's that we heap on her daily but her version is "Wah-loo!" I hope she doesn't correct herself any time soon. She's even beginning to say it without being prompted. Tonight, when it was time for bed she was perfectly willing. Getting back into the swing of 6:15 wake-up calls means she's pretty pooped by day's end. After a long time of snuggling with me I finally put her in her crib. As usual, she stepped over to her music box and pressed the On button. Then she lay down on her tummy. I offered her "Deeda" and a book, the combination she now prefers for bedtime company. (Deeda is a lamb puppet that a friend brought her from New Zealand. Her name comes from the "Murray Had a Little Lamb" segments on Sesame Street in which a large red monster named Murray and a Spanish-speaking lamb named Ovajita - "little lamb" in Spanish - go to various schools to learn things. Dessa loves Ovajita and Murray second only to Elmo). Anyway, just about every night now she tucks Deeda under one arm and a selected book (or sometimes books) under the other and goes to sleep. In the morning (when it's not a school day) she spends time reading the book to Deeda, which means she entertains herself for upwards of 45 minutes before we have to go get her. I'm thrilled to pieces that she wants both the stuffed toy and a book. It just tickles the reader in me (it's also a total bonus that we don't have to go racing to her room as soon as she wakes up).  You can't see Deeda here but trust me, she's tucked up under Dessa's right arm. They're good pals. |
