Wrestling Match With My BFF

Our first wrestling match.  The first of many rounds.

2010-01-caden-8-months1

CoCo and I met up a couple of weeks ago and somehow got into a little wrestling match!

From top left, row by row:

1.  You can see how we are sitting pretty.  CoCo sitting loosey-goosey in my Bumbo, while Mommy has to squeeeeeze me into the Bumbo.

2.  CoCo makes an attempt to hug me.

3.  I don’t want to be hugged and resist.

4.  CoCo is still trying to hug me.

5.  I whack my arm on CoCo’s face, hoping she’d get my message.  (BoBo scores 1 point.)

6.   She doesn’t give up and still tries to hug me.

7.  Finally, I agree to sit down beside CoCo.

8.  I thought CoCo was trying to hug me again…

9.  …but I get taken out when she whacks me down onto the mat!  (CoCo scores 2 points for the knock down.)

Round #1 Results:

CoCo: 2 points

BoBo: 1 point

CoCo wins!

CoCo meant no harm, but I cried my heart out like a little baby.  Even when CoCo said goodbye to me, I cried.  Luckily, Mommy thinks my memory and grudge is only short-lived.  Next time I see CoCo, I’m sure we’ll still be BFFs.

Until next round, CoCo!

Snowed In Yet Again with 18 Inches on the Ground…

…and it’s STILL snowing!

It’s days like this when Mommy & Daddy feel like it is very hard to be a nanny.

It’s dang hard taking care of me during the day, especially when it is difficult to get me to take naps and there isn’t a darn thing Mommy & Daddy can do to make me.  The separation anxiety thing is also kicking in at full speed because I need to be able to see them at all times.  If I can’t focus on them with my little eyes, then I gently remind them with a whimper.  If they still don’t come into view, then I start my crying.

Mommy & Daddy used to enjoy being snowed in because they can spend hours with each other doing absolutely nothing, but now, with me in their lives, snow days are torture.  And…the weatherman keeps telling us that we’ll be snow bound for another 2 days…

*** Of note, we got a total of 54.9 inches of snow this winter so far…which is record-breaking for the D.C. area.  The previous record was over a century ago!
