The Darling Banana
The Banana has a few favorite words right now, but the one I seem to hear the most, all day long, is the word “baby.” The Banana is crazy about baby dolls lately. She drags one or two along with her wherever she goes, and usually one of her baby blankets to boot. I spend a lot of time wrapping and rewrapping baby dolls each day. There is no particular baby doll that she likes better than the rest, but she definitely seems to prefer the baby dolls without clothes and wrapped up rather than dolls dressed respectfully.
While she occasionally does nasty things like chase her big brother around the house (he hates that) or sit on her big brother while he lays on the floor (he really hates that) and throws toys across the room and hits people when she doesn’t get what she wants (I sternly try to put a stop to both of those ideas) and throws some tantrums that rival even Mr. Sneaky Pants, this little fruit is just incredibly endearing as she bustles about her own little agenda, which still often involves clomping around in other people’s shoes. She had a hey day with Auntie Dot’s ruby red jelly shoes over the weekend.
