pretty fingers
My grandaughter and I had a sleep over. We did what all girls do at a slumber party. We painted out nails. She picked all different colours. I went for O.P.I."Royal Rajah Ruby. It's my all time favourite. We were careful not to paint her left thumb ,as that is the one she sucks.She told me she had switched thumbs as the right one has a big bump.Her soother is a hot pink satin piece of cloth that has a flat pig face on it. She has had it since birth. If it ever gets misplaced we have to turn the world upside down to find "Silky".
I suspect when she starts school, Silky will be in the bottom of the back pack , for a furtive little break during recess. We once dropped Silky on the road and had to retrace our route to find it. He/she had tire tracks all over it. A good wash restored it good as new.
My grandaughter has a vocabulary all her own. She calls cupcakes , "pupcakes".Her bicycle helmet is
her "helmo". Her mom runs a "dare kay" and she likes to buy treats for my "dare kay friends". She loves princesses and one of her favorite is Ariel , the little "ermaid". She told me the other day that Aurora was named Aurora because she "worries" alot, that's how come she's "Aworra".
When I was venting some frustration about the state of disrepair my house is in, she said ;"Nanny, when I am big , after Christmas, I'll get you a rainbow house. It feels like a rainbow house when she is iin it.

I love the way children re-name things! Usually better than the actual name. My son used to call the Empire State Building, the Umpire State Building. We still call it that but he just looks at us like we are crazy.
Aren't they precious?? I always loved the special vocabulary little ones have.
Tyson used to tell us to "Tay twaight" (stay straight) when giving us directions and we still use that expression. Insiders understand and all the rest look at us like we're nuts. Who cares?
Those special words warm our hearts.
