Like mother like daughter. Years ago when I was a little girl of 4 years old, I distinctly remember the day when mom was still sleeping in the morning (like Mimi, I too was a earlier riser) and I decided that Teddy was in desperate need of a bath. Therefore I proceeded to get my mom's yellow bucket and fill it with cold water and put Teddy in it. There was water all over mom's kitchen floor. Needless to say when mom woke up and came downstairs to find this mess, she definitely was not a happy camper. Poor old Teddy was then hung outside on the clotheslines by his ears to dry. Just yesterday our dear sweet Mimi had the same thoughts as I did way back when. Only she used a way smaller bucket and did not make much of a mess even though she too used real water to bathe Ollie.

TEDDY AND OLLIE

GOOD NEWS
This morning both Mimi and I had a early dentist appointment before going over to Ms Celia's for piano lesson this week. The good news is we both have NO CAVITIES!!! To celebrate this auspicious occasion we went to Fred Meyer's for a sushi lunch. The dentist said that Mimi's 6 year molars have come in (something I knew already) and she should start to lose her first bottom front tooth possibly next month. By the time she turns 7 is when she will possibly lose her two front teeth.
MIMI-ISMS
Mimi: Mom, did you know that babies come out of tummies?
Mom: Oh really?
Mimi: But I can out of your heart and prayers.
Mom: That's right.
Mimi: Mom did you know that when your tooth comes out, the tooth fairy comes?
Mom: Oh really?
Mimi: Yeah, but she is really, really tiny. You can hardly see her. You put your tooth under the
pillow and she leaves some monies for you.
Mom: What about Butch (he's losing his puppy teeth), can we put his teeth under the pillow?
Mimi: Nah, it doesn't work for dogs.
Meanwhile Mimi is checking each and every tooth in her head to see if any of them are loose. Several of her friends and classmates have lost theirs already.

WHATEVER.......
It seems as if my baby is turning into a teenager right before my very eyes. Just before turning 6 years old, Mimi started having this attitude of rolling her eyes up to the heavens and saying "whatever" then give a little huff. It's making me crazy. She has never had this attitude before and it's driving me nuts! It also seems that all of her cronies have the same attitude according to the other moms. I think it may be because all of her other classmates have older siblings living at home and ol' Blake has 9 year old Bubba living next door. Anyways I was informed today that Ms. Attitude is gone for a while. When I asked if ever she is coming back for a visit I got her usual answer of "I don't know". Sigh.....
