1. Other music!
Oh, thank the maker! While "They Might Be Giants" are still kings in our house, we have managed to sneak in a few other CDs here and there. Yuki loves the Animaniacs music (and shouts "yaaaay" after every song, though somewhat perfunctorily) and will even tolerate the occasional playing of Raymond Scott's "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights," a favorite of her old Dadoo's. Once in a while she will insist on "Sympathique" by Pink Martini which seems an oddly sophistimicated (yes, sophistimicated) choice for a kiddo, but we don't mind.
2. Mommy's cereal.
Yesterday she ate it for lunch and dinner. She knows we have it. She knows where we keep it. When she wants it, there is nothing else. I managed to hide the Peanut Butter Crunch from her, but she is obsessed with Honey Bunches of Oats. I no longer trust the Post company. What in hell do they put in it?
3. Pushing stuff
She pushes her toy stroller, she pushes her stroller, she pushes cars, she pushes shopping carts (both real and Children's Museum versions, above) -- although tonight we went for a walk and she pushed her stroller until we came to the last hill before our street. Then she climbed in her stroller and made Mimi push her until we reached the flat part at the end of our block, then she got out and pushed some more. Such a clever, clever, lazy girl.
4. Aht.
Yes, aht. She drew this while sitting on my lap as we watched every video of her on our computer. Which brings me to ...
5. Camera Baby!
I don't know if she knows it's her or not, but she loves Camera Baby. I think it was my sister Judy who used to have to hide her camera in her shirt in order to get pictures of her kids, so maybe it's a Smith thing. Anyway, it's really getting so I can't take any pictures of her. As it is, we have about 700 videos that look exactly like this:
Le sigh.
Finally, thanks to friend Chanda and nephew Ric for bestowing electrified bubble blowing machines on us. Your generosity is truly appreciated by everyone in our house. If anybody else is feeling generous but doesn't have a bubble blowing apparatus, Yuki is also fond of rolling around in piles of cash. Preferably uncirculated twenties and fifties. Just sayin' is all ...
