Meh Meh


One day I was running a bath for Ronin. He comes in looks at the bath and says in the smallest sweetest voice, "Is that my pond?"
And I said "Are you a creature that lives in a pond?"
And he says in a sqeaky little voice "Yes and I need to back to my home."
I said, "as soon as the water is ready you can."
And he says "Meh Meh"
and I said, "are you a Meh Meh creature?"
And he said, "Meh Meh"
and I said "Meh Meh" and he turns around and sticks out his tushy and says, "Do you want to see my tail?"
And I said "YES!"

So whenever Ronin is feeling super loving, cozy, and affectionate he will turn to me and say "Meh Meh" and I know exactly what he needs. A hug and kiss from his Mama.

Updates at last

It has been too long. They both do so much. Ronin says to me,
"Mommy I have a new freckle on my hand. The sun gave it to me for you to love." Where does he come up with this?

Or last night he says, "Sometimes kids can tell their mommies that they don't like something their mommies made." And I said, "Yes you can always tell me. What don't you like?" And he says, "Your Macaroni and Cheese isn't good." Okay. "I love your chili mommy."

And then there is Autumn. Who says "READY! GO!" And races down the hallway. Or starts to dress Elmo (Melmo) and tells him to "sit down" and "shirt." She runs to get her "shoes" and wants to go "outside" and play nonestop with "chalk" and "balls" and to see the "flowies" even though she can says "flower". She is stubborn and passionate. She raised her hand to me yesterday when she wanted more blueberries and stomped her foot. Not being able to hold her Elmo while she eats is a great offense.

And Ronin loves her although I see more jealousy. He wants to hide her Elmo from time to time. But if she is crying he will "read her a story or sing her a song" to help calm her down.

She adores Ronin the most. He is her favorite person in the world.
