Monday, September 28, 2009Taking the puma thing too farUma had a washcloth at the table that she had used to mop up some spilled milk. I told her to get a different one to wipe her face. She said, "I'll just use my tongue," so she licked around her mouth to get it clean. Then I asked, "what about your hands?" So she started licking those, too.

Uma: Mommy is a grownup so she doesn't have fun.

Saturday, September 26, 2009Brotherly loveExcerpts from Uma's side of the conversation:
"Who will be the daddy in this house when I'm all grown up?"
"Will Kieran be the daddy?"
"I want him to be the daddy because he is my friend."
"I want to live with him even when I'm a grownup."
Awwww.Labels: quotes

Friday, September 25, 2009Fun & GamesThe other day I was working in the kitchen while Uma and Kieran were playing together in the living room. I could hear them laughing, so I stuck my head around the corner to see what they were doing. I saw Uma pick up Kieran from behind and fling him at the sofa. He landed against the cushions with a thud, and then he and Uma laughed uproariously. Kieran stood up and said, "Again!" I felt bad putting a stop to their fun, but then it was almost dinner time and we didn't have time for a trip to the emergency room.

Monday, September 14, 2009Uma the Fashion CriticThis afternoon Uma noticed I had changed shirts.
Uma: Mommy, I don't think that shirt looks as sweet with those shorts.
Me: Should I wear a different shirt?
Uma: Um, no, but that shirt doesn't look as special. Don't worry, though, I still love you. But I think my outfit is prettier than yours.Labels: quotes

Thursday, September 10, 2009Preschool buddyAfter I picked Uma up from her first day of preschool*, we were talking about what she did. At one point, Uma said, "I think I made a friend." It wasn't someone in her class, but in another class that was on the playscape at the same time. Something about this boy was appealing to Uma, so she said she just went up to him and started talking to him (apparently about her non-school friends). The cutest part? She doesn't know his name.
This is especially noteworthy because a long time ago, Uma complained that the only boys she knew were Kieran and Dominic. All the other kids she saw were girls. Now she's got No Name to add to that list.
* which was a completely unemotional experienceLabels: words

Wednesday, September 09, 2009Schoolgirl!Today was Uma's first day of preschool. She was really excited about it. The whole drive there, she talked about how happy she was to be starting school. I thought she might be a little nervous when we arrived, but as soon as we hung up her bag and put her lunch box away, she ditched Kieran and me and darted off into her classroom. I peeked in, and she gave me a smile and started washing her hands. (It's a class rule that kids wash their hands when they arrive in the morning.) She seemed just as enthusiastic when Ketan dropped her off at home in the afternoon. She asked me if she would go to school every day and expressed dismay when I told her no.

The latter is what you get when you ask Uma for a pretty smile.

Me: Well, those shorts look pretty shabby to me.
Uma: They don't to me, and I don't know what shabby means.

I figure they're ok as long as we don't let them have any of the food.
