The life of a Baby Girl is action-packed! It's an adventure of tasting new foods, playing in new playgrounds, scowling when it's too cold to go outside, and whooping it up when it's warm enough to play outside. For example, one of Sweet Girl's favorite new foods is the humble olive, which she wastes no time placing on her finger and popping into her mouth, as all kids do. Still, finding out how to do this is an exercise in applied Tickle Bug world observation, so it's neat to see in action.
Another part of the adventure is creative re-purposing of toys, as with Little Monster's tent (or "nunt" in her patois). A tent isn't always a tent — sometimes it's a Daddy-trap, sometimes it's a reading room, and sometimes it's a dinosaur ranch. Sometimes a tent is its own sleeping bag, or some sort of bizarre hamster-wheel type of perpetual motion machine. In this regard, Sweet Girl is less like a baby girl and more like a mad scientist. This week, Daddy had a half-day at work on Wednesday, so he spent the afternoon strolling with Little Werewolf in her wagon and even let her pick the direction of the route she wanted to take.
And then, of course, are the habits she picks up from her parents. After a hard day of adventures, Wee Goblin likes to take a book to bed and read until she falls asleep. Hop On Pop remains a crib favorite, but Tickle Bug is ever on the prowl for more books to sate her voracious reading appetites. And though she's not yet really reading, she retains a lot of her read-aloud book sequences, so she can recite the pages to you when you help her read them. She's quite the continental, in fact, and can often be found engrossed in her book after a meal at a restaurant or in the waning hours before bedtime.
