A couple of weeks ago I went to Long Beach to pinch-hit for 'Miss Phyllis' who was going on vacation. Watching TWO little girls while their mommy and daddy went to work couldn't be THAT much harder than watching just one, right? RIGHT?? Well. We were busy, busy, busy. And if I do say so myself, it seemed like I was right there inside the girls' heads, knowing EXACTLY what they were each thinking. Because this Mimi is just, you know, sorta psychic like that!
"Really? Mimi's going to babysit for us? Really? REALLY????? Oh, haha, that is a really funny joke, Mommy!"
"Really? Mimi's going to babysit for us? Really? REALLY????? Oh, haha, that is a really funny joke, Mommy!"
"Ahhh...that's old stuff, Emily. Mimi watched me my first whole year of life...ummm...I think I like this cracker my mom bought for me. I'm glad Mimi let me eat it in this room...it was REALLY FUN getting that orange cheese stuff all over the couch...."
Oh, oh....you mean Mommy REALLY is going to let Mimi watch us? BOTH of us?? OH, OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!
I wonder if Mimi knows that I drink my mommy's "Special Milk" - I just love my "Special Milk" but Mommy's not here to let me latch on.....I wonder if Mimi knows how to put Mommy's "Special Milk" into a bottle........Gulp!
Gee, it seems like Mommy has been away at work for a REALLY long time. Wonder what Mimi has in mind for play today....
Hmmmmmm....maybe I will look at this "magic coloring book" that Mimi got me. I hope it has a purple crayon.....
Well, the color isn't purple but it's a pretty pink and it IS a magic coloring book...when I draw on the table nothing happens! Wow!! That is WEIRD!!! That Mimi...........
Nope - not purple. Blue. Dumb magic coloring book....
Well Hi there, Mimi! You are looking a little worn out...and it's only 8:30am. Wow. Good thing my Daddy is coming home at lunchtime to help you put us down for our nap...you aren't looking so good....
Hahahaha--I love being in my office, Mimi, but I'm getting, you know, a little HUNGRY!
Guess I will have to gnaw on this toy fish here in my office....
at least until lunch arrives...Mimi! Start heating my bottle already!
Hmmmm...no bottle in sight...wonder if Purple Monkey's ear tastes better than that plastic fish....
Hi, Emily! You're in your office!!
Hmmm...wonder what Mommy is doing, Emily. I'll just see if I can call her up on Mimi's phone and tell her to send reinforcements!
Oh, you're really funny, Gracie. You don't even know Mommy's work number, do you?
Never mind, Emily. You're not one to talk...you look like you've been in the backyard planting potatoes, Farmer Overalls! Oh, wait! Do I hear....YES! It's Daddy!
WOW! I LOVE TO FLY! I LOVE TO FLY! I LOVE TO FLY!!!!!
YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
A morning spent with Mimi calling the shots: Tolerable
A morning playing with Baby Sister, Emily: Pretty fun
Daddy throwing me WAY up high into the air: PRICELESS!!!
One more time, Daddy. Please Daddy, Please Daddy, Please Daddy Pleeeeeeezzzzeeee....
Now THAT'S Entertainment!
Hmmmmph. When is my Daddy going to throw ME up into the air??? Hmm?
Hey, Emily - guess who?! Can you see me now? It's me, Gracie! And stop calling me "Old Bucket Head!"
I've got some real street cred with my Mohawk here........
Hey, Emily, it says here that purple is the most beautiful color in the whole world....
I'm going to write Mommy a note and tell her Mimi needs a latte...or maybe something stronger...........
Emily - let's go for a spin in your walker...I'll push, you just lift your feet off the ground...
Sheesh, Emily - did you have to drink so much milk?? This thing is really hard to push...you weigh a ton!
Knock it off, Gracie...just for saying that I'm going to give you the RASPBERRIES......
Well, the trouble with Raspberries is all that drool has to go SOMEWHERE...Look out below!!!
Look, Emmy...is Mimi asleep over in that chair? She doesn't look so good...
Ok, let's turn this thing around.....
Ooooooophhhhh - quit draggin' your feet, Emily Mae!!!!
Ok, hold on tight - PICK UP THOSE FEET!
Yay! We have LIFT OFF!
Ok, one more time around....
Hahaha Gracie - that was FUN!!
What do you think, Emily? Are you ready for a game of Frisbee? Well, maybe not. Let's see if we can get Mimi to play....
I like my orange Frisbee...but I'd like it even more if it was PURPLE!
Mimi has kind of a wild throw on that Frisbee thing....
Bet you can't catch this one, Mimi!!!
Hahahahaha - TOLD YOU!!!
Oh - and one more thing - Mimi wants to tell you something...........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, I am back from the adventures of Gracie and Emily's fun in the sun in Long Beach...and on another front, today Alyssa has finished her SIXTH MONTH of pregnancy. So the Mimi Monologues also is reporting that Grandson #1 - a.k.a. "Bob" will be making his appearance in approximately 14 WEEKS - WOW!
Since Rob and Alyssa aren't divulging "Baby Boy Wagner's" real name until the Big Day arrives - something has to be a surprise, after all - we are referring to him as "BoB"and I for one am getting kind of attached to the name...
