Daddy's Girl

Lola loves a good scary book! We've been reading Dinosaur Day by Liza Donnelly for weeks, and her favorite part is when the dinosaur (we call it a monster because it is a "monstersaurus" in the book) jumps out of the snow and chases the little boy and his dog. This book is how she knows the signs for "monster" and "scared." The first 10 or so times we read it, she really jumped at this part and grabbed onto our arms. As soon as the book was over, she would grab your hand and have you read it again. Anytime someone new was around at bedtime, they also had to read it. Aunt Dole read it to her, and Uncle Jeff did an inspired version with many many new sounds. We do read it less now, but she still loves the scary part!

She also loves pickles! Derrick says that she had a mouthful of cheese the other day at lunch and she spit it all out as soon as he brought out the jar of pickles. When they bought pickles at the store, she hugged the jar and didn't want to let it go.

But what about me? Well it does seem mother and daughter both have a sensitive scalp, as we make the same face when the Christmas Tingler approaches!
