These are a few short blurps over the past few days.
Friday I am putting Sunscrean on Coda. I notice a boo boo on her thumb. I said, "Coda where did you get that boo boo at?" she says, "an electric eel." I said, "What!?" She says, "an electric eel stung me." Cher pipes in, "No! no electric eel stung you, you got the boo boo in the pool." Coda say, "Ya huh! Shark Boy and Lava Girl were there and an electric eel stung me!!"
The girls are in camp and they love it. I especially love it because it is the camp I grew up with and the camp I once was a counselor at. It is great, and fun, and the girls LOVE IT. They get to see their Chelly everyday (my sitter, and close family friend, she is 17 now), the swim 2 hours eveyday and they learn so much. Baseball and gold and dance and piano, and conflict resolution, music, karate, cooking and much more. They have family style lunch where the kids get to make lunch for the whole camp. They have themes and dress for the occation. They go on trips every week. So the camp is ...adjusting to the girls as they are ...interesting. They are learning the girl's quirks and temprament. Cherokee said to chelly one morning, "chelly do you have your eyes in?" the other counselor looked at chelly and said, "what did she just say?" Chelly said, "she calls my contacts my eyes." Coda called a kid in camp the "p" word. I almost died. I knew where she heard it from. She loves the move Stand By Me. yes the old 80s movie. The part where Teddy calls Vern the "p" word and repeats it like 6 times and Vern finally fights Teddy back. To me it is a fairly harmless movie, EXCEPT for the language. The girls enjoy the music "Yackity Yack" and "Lolipop" as Cherokee has mastered the "pop" in the song. So anyway...I tell Shelly to let her know it is not nice to call people that and it is a BAD word. Coda got very upset, because she did not know it was a bad word. My poor Coda. She always picks up the bad habits.
Lately Coda is very obsessed with my baby growing belly. She swears she puts her whole finger in my belly button and she is holding the babies hand. She sticks her eye peep right up to my belly button and says, "hi baby!" I see you. When you coming out." or when she is leaving she kisses the belly and says to the belly button, "bye baby I will see you later. Be god to mommy, don't beat her belly up." as she swears that when I have morning sickness that the baby is beating my belly up. *sigh* thanks Tone!
They are a mess.
and the still ask me everytime they see my contacts, did you put them in yet? can i watch
