Use your finger!
posted in General |Miss K and I were sharing the chair at my desk. My desk has a window, and the monitor is below the surface. Both huddled over the window we ate our dinner. Hers was a cheese quesadilla. She eats it like an oreo- opens it up and scrapes out the cheese, and leaves the tortilla for the dogs.
Mmm, cheesy goodness.
But she wasn’t using her hands; she laid it out on the glass pane and smooshed her face up into the cheese, and ate it without touching it, cept for her lips.
I cuddled up to her ear and spoke gently but firmly “use your fingers.” She looked up and smiled and went back to her messiness. I chuckled and started doing spooky low “uuuuuse your fiiiingerzzzz” sounds like a ghost.
She looked up, grinned, looked down at her hand and curled her fingers into a little fist. Then she looked back at the remains of the quesadilla. Slowly she brought out her pointer finger and looked at the tip. I said “yyyyeess, your fiiiiingerzzz.”
She grinned at me and then poked her pointer finger into my eye and went back to grazing on the quesadilla.
Who says 2 year olds don’t have a sense of humor?
Which reminds me- Miss B’s sense of humor is changing. I was out looking for the Daily Grind to get a handle on some “free” wifi (for the cost of coffee). She asked where were going, and I told her what we were looking for. Then, from the back seat I hear “You mean the ‘Daily Groin’?” and a cute little giggle.
Ok, I admit I laughed. It was the first time I had heard humor like that from her. Since I laughed, I had to listen to it ten more times before she believed me that it wasn’t funny anymore.
Sheesh, “the daily groin.” (giggle)
