The Alpha Toddler June 29, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Friends, Princess Hannah, Saba, Utah , trackbackHannah has discovered she has cousins. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know the difference between friends, and cousins, but hey, if people are little and they want to play with her, she is all for it. Hannah LOVES her cousins Katie (who she refers to as “Kitty”), Adam (who she calls “Anam”), and Malaya (who she lovingly refers to as “Leah”).
It is officially getting hot here, (okay, nothing like SABA HOT, but 95 degrees is hot, even with no humidity) so we pulled out a plastic-blow-up-toddler-size-swimming-pool, and let her go at it with her cousins. I told Hannah the ridiculously small pool was the ocean, and that Nemo was swimming in it (because it had fish all over it). She looked at me and said, “NO?”
BECAUSE EVEN 23 MONTH OLD PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE OCEAN LOOKS LIKE. AND THE OCEAN HAS WARM WATER, NOT FREEZING COLD HOSE WATER.
“Anam” and Hannah
“Kitty” and Hannah
Hannah and some of her cousins . . .
And now I would like mention the LOVE/HATE relationship Hannah has with her cousin Malaya, who is only two months older than she is. Hannah loves to see Malaya, but both of them HATE to share their toys. This is the cousin she had a “Toddler Cat Fight” with over a pair of flip flops. As a reminder, the shoes actually belonged to Malaya, but since Hannah is a firm believer in the “Toddler Rule” of “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” she truly believed the flip flops were hers. But this is not the point today . . .
The point is, the girls played together. And had a lot of fun, BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO SHARE ANYTHING. As long as they can do the same thing at the same time, like jump on the couch, rearrange the kitchen cabinets, or play beautiful duets on the piano, they are friends.
Malaya is so stinkin’ cute, I had to take some pictures of her . . .
Malaya is the “Alpha Toddler” and is most certainly the boss around Hannah, and every other child.
She is so darling, it’s hard not to laugh when she gives Grandma and Grandpa P orders . . .
And she expects them to obey her . . . But look at that innocent face . . .
How could you say no to either one of these kids?
