Expanding the Klayman Clan

Yes, you read it here first, our family is growing!  Gene and I are over the moon excited to make Violet a big sister!  I am due in July!

I will be posting multiple blog entries that I have written over the last several months.

Fucky the Friendly Turtle

So the fucky fucky mystery has been revealed.  As I mentioned in my previous blog post, Violet came home from day care screaming fucky, fucky and we couldn't even begin to imagine what that could mean.    A few days later I came to pick her up from day care and Miss Marcelle mentioned that they got a new pet turtle by the name of Frankie.  When she said his name, Violet immediately screamed: FUCKY!  I guess we'll have to work on those R's and N's.

Say What???

Violet came home from day care yesterday and said, "Fucky, Fucky".
Disturbing or Hilarious?
Well, Gene and I couldn't stop laughing, so there you have it.

Morning Chat

Violet isn't talking much but she has mastered all the key phrases and words.  She wakes up in the morning and the first thing she does is come to our bedroom, stand next to our bed and say, "Up".  Once she is nestled in between us she says, "Remote".  When one of us is holding the remote she says, "Mult", which means multiki (cartoons) and her final word until she is in a complete trance is: Dora.
She has also figured out that the appropriate response to, "Do you want soup for lunch?" is, "No, Ice Cream".

Who's the best?

Me: Violet who's the best?
Violet: Dora
Me: Who's next?
Violet: Elmo
Me: Who is in third place?
Violet: Mommy
Me: And next?
Violet: Papa
Me: Who is after papa?
Violet: Babi (Grandma)
Me: And then?
Violet: Pet'ka
Me: After Pet'ki?
Violet: Car

Glad that I am better than the car, but too bad Dora and Elmo are ahead of me.

First Sentence

A few days ago, Violet woke up and first thing she did was walk over to her Leap Frog Telephone, picked up the receiver and said, "Hello? I love you. Bye Bye."

Just like her papa, she likes to keep the conversations short and sweet.

Cuddle Time!

Somehow Violet has misunderstood the meaning of the word cuddle. When she watches TV, I snuggle up next to her and say, "Violet, let's cuddle."  She looks at me with those adorable brown eyes, smiles and screams, "Cuddle!".  Somehow she has developed the association of cuddling and watching TV, or maybe she thinks cuddling actually means watching TV.  In any case, the little sneaky cookie monster comes up to me all the time now and says, "Cuddle".  I get all excited and we sit on the couch together and before 3 seconds are up, she is pointing to the TV and screaming, "Dora, Dora, Dora."  Gets me every time!
