Party Dress

We have been cleaning and organizing like mad to get ready for Athena's birthday party. I have been telling her all week that I will be very busy cleaning and getting ready for her party. At one point she asked me to do something and I said that I couldn't do that right now. She said, "Clean, Feena's B day party." That broke my heart but I was glad she understood. One of the things I had to do was wash her new dress for her party. I got it out and asked if she wanted to wear it to her birthday party. She said, "Yah." Towards the end of the day, she went to the dirty clothes pile and brought the dress to me and said, "Wear party mama, wear party." She is understanding so much now!

You CAN!

Tonight in the bath, Athena was trying to blow bubbles in the water. She thinks that she needs to make the "blub-blub" sound. I show her how to do it by blowing and saying "Blow like it's hot." She was trying and laughing then looked up to me and said, "I can't." I've never heard her say that. It was so clear; she said it perfectly. I said, "Yes you can!" Then my mind wandered... Who taught her that? Was it me? Cousins? Who is saying that?
