M and J. This picture was taken just after M's nap. This is cubby bear and hippillow (he's the pink one. He's a hippo/pillow/blanket. M loves him...she got hime from great-grandma gauthier for christmas.) She makes us kiss, hug and say goodnight to both, and "rog" (my frog she sleeps with) everynight when we lay her in bed. She will say "bear" and hold him up, then when you're done kissing bear she says "too" (she can say hippillow) and holds up hippillow, and when you're done, she points to the giant frog and says "rog" and then you're done. Of course you have to kiss her too.
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
