Firefighter Naomi

Firefighters

Drive, Drive, Drive

Smoke when we go

Pour out the water

People feel better

Naomi's grandmother "Dot Dot" helped her write this poem. We took her to the children's museum in Denver last week, where they have a room with a fire truck, and firefighter coats and hats to wear. Naomi was in heaven -- The day before she told me she wants to be a firefighter when she grows up!

Happy Mother's Day

Yesterday I was greeted at the door with,"Mama, I have a card for you! It has butterflies on it."

My Big / Little Girl / Mama

It is the theme of Naomi lately. She has been wearing underwear for almost three weeks now, and despite many accidents, she is getting better and better at it - yesterday she had none, and last night she actually wore underwear to bed (we were totally out of pullups) and slept all night! This morning when I called her "little girl", she said "I'm not little." What are you then? "I'm a big girl!" So true, dear.

In this picture (you may not be able to see it) Naomi is holding her baby doll in a scarf. After hanging out with some friends-with-babies using slings, Naomi was playing with her baby and asked me to tie the scarf around them! A few days later, when a friend got out her sling for her baby at our house, Naomi went and got her things as well. And then copied her rocking motion too.
