talking Bo

Always feel like adding a picture to each post, even though this has nothing to do with my anecdote... Naomi and Eva with our hair stylist, Kim. They have wanted Kim to cut their hair for years, and she finally decided she would cut for kids too! They were thrilled with the whole experience, and Eva even rehearsed her instructions regarding her cut till they sounded very grown-up. (This happened about a month ago- I'm a little behind.)

OK- so anecdote for the memory book- Eva and Bo. Jason has decided that Bo chews too many things, and that instead of continuing to by him stuffed animals at Goodwill ($1.25 and he LOVES them) he should have rawhides exclusively. These are a lot "neater" than the stuffies, but Bo Bo is quite missing his soft victims. So the other day I walked into the living room to see Eva standing guard in the coat closet, holding a plush puppy high above her head. She was speaking to Bo, who was negotiating with whining and sad eyes, in a low, loud serious voice much like what an Indian would sound like in a old movie. She told him, "ME. NO. TAKE. STUFFIES... BIG. MAN. TAKE. STUFFIES... ME. NOT. INVOLVED."

He must have understood.

Love the pic of my darling neices, very beautiful and yes, so grown up and so young at the same time!
Funny story too, I can just hear Eva's tone of voice!

Oh, Bo! I can just see his sad eyes. What a good boy. You tell him, Eva :) It's so funny to see how the kids relate to animals!
