Leaving Oona for a Whole Week!!
I told Oona earlier today that she’ll be going to Grammy’s house next week for vacation…
Tonight after putting her to bed she came out to hug me and said “Next week, when I go to Grammy’s house, I’ll be really sad when you leave and go back to my house. But when I come back, then I’ll see you again and you’ll ask me “How was your vacation?” and I’ll hug you. And then I’ll be happy now! But I won’t be sad while I’m at Grammy’s.”

First Dream
I asked Oona this morning if she had any dreams and she nodded.
“The boy in school had a BLUE kindle.”
“Oh,” I said “Which boy? What’s his name?”
She thinks for a while “They call him Joe. Yeah. Joe.”
“Was he a Butterfly?” I asked.
“No, he belongs to the hallway”

buttered toast
oona hands me a pretend piece of buttered toast
I take it and pretend to eat it, but she protests with indignation, “Don’t eeeeeat it!”
So I look at it and pretend to stick it to my forehead
Long pause
She looks at me like I just threw up on her shoes “Ohhhhh Mooooooomy. Look at your forehead! That’s IS’CUSTING”

What did Grace say?
Every day I ask Oona “So how was your day?” and she says “good.”
And then I ask “What did you do in school?” and she says “play with my friends.”
So today, trying to draw information out of her, I tried a different tactic… “Oona, what did Gracie say in school today?”
She thinks…
“Um… No!”
“Gracie said ‘No’? About what?”
“Bubbles.”
“She said no to bubbles?”
“She said no to Ooooooona!”
Confused…
“Wait, Gracie said no to you? Did she say no about bubbles?”
“It was Oona’s turn. Gracie say ‘No!’”
And there you have it.

Why?
Mark the calendars, today is the first day ever of the question ‘Why?’
So far she’s only asked it 4-5 times.

Twisted Words
Oona has quite a talent for playing with words. At 2.5 she’s already making puns and playing with the sounds that letters make…
P-eeew P-eeew (for poop)

Dave’s name is Datt-y
She says things like Fun, funny fun fun fun… No nuh nuh no no no…
