"I'm A Fish But I Want To Be A Shark Like You"

The Princess did it.  She did it.  She took off those water wings and she trust herself and she SWAM....the entire length of the pool...and back again.  And again. And again. And again.  She was so proud of herself, and I was proud of her too.



"Mom, I'm a fish but I want to be a shark like you."  I''m guessing she means a good swimmer.  I hope that is what she means. ;o)

I Want To Be A Jungle Explorer

One of E's favorite shows is "Imagination Movers" on the Disney Channel.  If you haven't heard of it, it is the American version of The Wiggles--four guys who sing and dance, and in this case, solve problems for their customers who visit their warehouse.  The Princess often envisions herself marrying one of The Movers.  She gets all dressed up in her angel costume and tells me "I'm getting married to Mover Scott...no wait Mover Dave...no I think it's Mover Rich."  I think she needs to wait until she is really sure!

A Girl And Her Dolphin

Ever since going to the Clearwater Aquarium this spring during the Grandma Invasion, E has fallen in love with dolphins.  A few weeks ago we saw that Flipper (the version from the 1960's) was on a cable channel so she began watching the show everyday (well not anymore as of today but that is another post). 

During the daytime she often sees the PillowPets commercial on tv.  Can you guess which animal just happens to be offered by PillowPets?  Yep.  A dolphin.  She asked me a few times if I could get her one so I gave her another standard parental answer "Maybe you will get one for your birthday or Christmas."  She really seemed ok with that answer.

I've really noticed a HUGE improvement in E's behavior over the past few weeks.  She controls her temper more, she is more agreeable at bed time, she tries really hard to listen when I tell her something, she doesn't argue about everything...like I said, a HUGE improvement.

Toy Story 3

My husband has the first Toy Story on VHS.  The Princess watched a month or so ago and loved it (who doesn't???) so when she saw that Toy Story 3 was coming out soon, she asked if I would take her to see it.  I gave a common parental response...."We'll see."
