Conversation/Umbrellas

This morning:

Bluet: "When I am an Owl, I will eat mice"

Me: "And fly?"

Bluet: "Yes, and have wings"

Me: "And Feathers?"

Bluet: "No, I will have Owl Hair"

On Sunday it was raining, which would usually be a bad thing, but Bluet loves her wellies and all umbrellas, so I took her to Willow Water Hole (where the Blue Bonnets are) to run about in the rain. It was very difficult to get her to leave, because she was dry because she had an umbrella on her head. Yesterday, Bluet wore her raincoat to school, and refused to take it off all day, even wearing it to sleep

Happy Christmas Eve

Hopefully there will be a few Xmas posts. Let's start with a conversation:

Dadn: "What does the snowman do?"

Bluet: "The snowman makes snow"

and a song

Raking leaves

This Saturday, Bluet helped me rake the leaves in the garden. She enjoyed me building 'towers' of leaves, which she would sometimes help transfer to bin bags (we haven't established a compost heap yet) and other times, she would throw over her head. She also enjoyed running around with the broom

Look! An arrow

Then on Sunday, we went for a walk to the park, where Bluet helped push Ilona in her pram. And then swung on the swings.

Whilst she was up in the sky she said:

"Is that a bird, Dadn"
"No, I think it's a plane"
"No, it's a bird, planes don't flap their wings"

After 50 more swings, we walked home.

This morning Bluet wanted to say goodbye to Ilona before she left the house, and kissed her goodbye on her sleeping head. However, whenever we ask Bluet

"Who's Ilona's Dadn?"
"Ilona doesn't have a Dadn"
"Who's Ilona's Mama?"
"Ilona doesn't have a Mama"
"Who's Bluet's sister?"
"Ilona"
"Who's Ilona's sister?"
"Ilona doesn't have a sister, only Bluet"

Conversation #5

This morning, apropos of nothing, just Bluet remembering something from our time in the uk

"I dropped Miffy"

You did? What happened then?

"Gran Helen put it in her backpack"

Where were you?

"Outside"

(This is not something we've discussed for a couple of months)

Conversation #4

This morning as I was looking for something for Bluet to wear she told me 'I need my Cardinals shirt'. Fortunately it was clean and in the drawer so I put it on her. She then ran about saying 'Go Cardinals'. You would think there was some kind of big game tonight or something.

Conversation #3

The other day, from the back of the car

"Mama, mama I need your help"

"What is it?"

"What does 'taxi' start with?"

Conversation #1 & 2

Conversation #1

Did you go to the Zoo?

"Yes"

What did you see at the Zoo?

"I press the bobcat"

What did the bobcat say?

"Roooooaaaarrrr!"

This was after she visited the Zoo with Nana and Wayne, several weeks ago. She still remembers, and pressed the bobcat again this weekend. 

Conversation #2

Also related to Nana and Wayne's visit:

"Go away fly" (as we are walking, Bluet on my shoulders, last week, a fly flies into Bluet's face)

"It's not a spider"

"I saw a jumping spider"

This was when we went looking for alligators with Nana and Wayne, also several weeks ago. 

Conversation

On passing a person on a bicycle this morning on the way to school:

"Bluet ride a bycle too"

"Does Bluet ride fast?"

"No, Bluet ride slow"
