So silly

I have been giggling about this for the last two days.
The girls and I were outside yesterday, goofing around on the deck--me taking photos, Bo playing with her "babies" and Magpie flapping her arms now and then and screeching "galalalalaaaaaa."
Bo's babies include "Red Bear," "Giraffe," "Doggy," and "Baby." I know, I know. Her originality in naming toys astounds me.
She was taking them to work, giving them naps, taking them grocery shopping, etc., when I thought--why not snap a few photos of the babies going about their business? I was careful not to disturb how Bo had placed them (I'm a journalist, after all). The results cracked me up.
So today we had them developed (is it still called "developed" when it's digital?) and I bought some frames to put them in. Bo and I hung them in her room above her art table. When she lost interest in the wall-mounted suction leveler, she looked at the pictures and said, "Oh, my babies! Babies at work. Babies taking nap."
Still giggling here.

Cute idea, Megan. I am, however, cracking up at your naming lament. See, my daughter comes up with names that are challenging enough to pronounce and remember, let alone spell. Her baby doll is named Hahmi (or Hami). All Volkswagen Bugs - except the dark blue ones, which are Mary, and the red ones, which are Lightning - are named Sa. Every airplane that flies over our house? Nardent. Any giraffes are called Tametsa. I'd love to have to remember a name such as "Giraffe."

I don't know her yet, but I love her already, Carolyn. What a nut.
I made Bo a clothespin doll tonight with long brown hair and red lips (so it obviously looked like a woman). I asked her what the doll's name was and she said, "Mommy."
