JieJie was walking around last night in red polka-dot rainboots, with the black bowtie from an old Halloween cat costume on her head, wearing her doll sling with Junella the peeing doll nestled naked inside. Clare had Junella's bottle (empty! yay! no Junella accidents!) and a plastic spoon. JieJie was giving demonstrations on how to administer gripe water to Junella, who apparently gets the hiccups a lot, just like JieJie and MeiMei do. JieJie showed me three times how to spoon out the imaginary liquid shecarried in Junella's bottle. Perhaps she has forgotten who has been spooning it out to her.
She was wearing the rainboots in case it snowed again. We woke up to a surprise snow, much to the delight of both girls, who come from a place where snow rarely if ever is seen.
JieJie is fretting a lot. She does not want to go to the Thanksgiving feast she and her classmates are preparing at school, even though she relishes using the word feast as often as she can. "I'm afraid," she said. "Because there are vegetables.'' She also is worried about our visit tomorrow to the lady who helps girls who worry too much about using the potty. That's my girl.
MeiMei remains serene and hilarious, not quite walking, sleeping better, still eating everything. We did manage to stop the blue play-doh on its way to her mouth.
