Adventures With MissMunchkin

Getting Daddy off to work

Katriona — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:09:58 +0000

Even though all Mommy hears all day is “Where Daddy?” Daddy is convinced MissMunchkin is pushing him out the door every morning. This morning MissMunchkin was asleep until Daddy got up. He had barely made it out of the bedroom before there were little feet pounding after him at a dead run. She insisted on ‘helping’ [...]

The Frog

MissMunchkin has a little red plastic frog, which Mommy has no idea where it came from. It may be one of the few kid’s meal toys she’s actually gotten. (Most places advertise to ask for toys for kids under three, but it seems most stores haven’t gotten the message.) The Frog seems to have an equal [...]

Shopping with Daddy

Katriona — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:00:13 +0000

Daddy and MissMunchkin have become tired of grocery shopping with Mommy. (Maybe because Mommy gets annoyed at both of them for pointing out all the yummy things not on Mommy’s list. Daddy claims he doesn’t want them, just seeing what is there.) So, after a couple aisles of food, MissMunchkin and her Daddy disappear to see [...]

Where?

Katriona — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:50:12 +0000

“Where” is used in one of the Baby Signing Time dvd’s. MissMunchkin has finally discovered its meaning, or started using “where” regularly at least. In the store, in restaurants, in the car, and at home, it is now necessary to know where things are. Especially the more important things.Before leaving in the car we must [...]

Holidays: Munchkin Style (Part One)

Katriona — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:21:38 +0000

MissMunchkin was very busy for the holidays, or she got a lot of mileage at least!On the 22nd Grandma picked MissMunchkin and Mommy up, adding them to an already full van. (Her two uncles think they need two seats each to spread out on!) Then we were on their way to Mommy’s uncle (aka The [...]

The End Of An Era…?

Katriona — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:38:02 +0000

MissMunchkin has had a couple of trial runs at the whole no more naps thing. It usually only lasts a couple of days and disappears. We’re going on a week now. Well, except for yesterday. We were watching music videos on YouTube. (Search for “AMV Disney” and you get some really neat ones.) Halfway through the [...]

Lego Style

Katriona — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 14:38:28 +0000

MissMunchkin lego-ized! Yes, I probably should be doing something else, but my brain has turned to mush. MissMunchkin has been watching nothing but her current NetFlix selection… The Big Comfy Couch: Wiggling and Giggling aka “Moll-EEE, doll-EE!” It has three episodes and a music video. That has been on repeat for three days! The only breaks have [...]

Afternoon With Daddy

Katriona — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 18:05:02 +0000

Mommy had an appointment the other day, so Daddy got to watch MissMunchkin for a couple hours. As Mommy walked out the door the water works started. (We’ve gotten real good at throwing tantrums lately.) Mommy had one up on MissMunchkin though, she walked out the door just as “The Big Comfy Couch” came on. (Yes, this [...]

Day Two, No Nap

Katriona — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 02:23:00 +0000

Actually, it’s Day Four if you don’t count the day MissMunchkin did take a nap between Day Two and Day Three. MM seems to be trying out this whole no nap thing more and more often. Mommy is not sure she is ready for endless days without an hour break in it. One hour (more or [...]

Water!

Katriona — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:14:00 +0000

It rained Saturday during MissMunchkin’s nap. I mean, it all out poured cats and dogs. When MissMunchkin woke up she wanted to go outside. (When does she not?) Mommy told her even though it had stopped raining, it was too wet to go out. After much whining and having every shoe in the house brought to [...]
