Oh yes, we have a new tooth!

(Can you see it? It's way back there on the right, all cute and pokey... Made Fiki wake up at 1:AM last night and she wouldn't go back to sleep; Papa Bear had to play with her for almost 3 hours!)

New games and attitude

This weekend Fiki "noticed" her Cabbage Patch Kid for the very first time. She picked up the baby, carried it around with her, then found a small towel and proceeded to make a bed. I suggested a pillow; she liked the idea. She lay down her baby, covered it with the towel, and gently patted it on the chest. What a wonderful mommy! I think this is the time to upgrade some of her toys (yay Ayyam-i-Ha, a time of giving and hospitality!) and next time I have the chance I'll find her a little buggy for that baby and a kitchen set. My girl is a real girl, not a tom-girl like her mommy.

She is also very strong willed and knows what she wants. She asserts herself when she doesn't get it. She looked me straight in the face and slapped me when I told her we couldn't leave the doctor's office, clearly showing her displeasure. She is going to give me a run for my money... Not that I'm indulgent, but my own will is not always so strong, and boy does she pick up on it if I'm questioning myself! Thank goodness Ty can back me up - he don't stand for nonsense. Moreover, he has the delicate skill of making things fun. Fun!
