Thursday Toddler Blogging 072910

I don’t know if Dijon the giraffe has made a Toddler Blogging appearance yet, but in case she hasn’t, here she is:

SteelyKid is in the process of explaining that Dijon is her giraffe (“My graph!”). Which she is, being a gift from Aunt Erin and Aunt ‘Stasia. She’s a rather heavy knit giraffe, and is awesome.

And that’s all I’ve got for tonight’s Toddler Blogging, as SteelyKid stubbornly refused to go to sleep, or even close her eyes for the hour and a half since bedtime, and I have a horrendous muscle spasm in my neck from sitting with her. Kate’s tagged in on “Oh, God, go to sleep already!” duty, and I’m going to take some painkillers and find a heating pad. Owie, owie, owie.

  1. Funny to give a “graph” the name of a French city famous for its mustard. Was that SteelyKid’s idea?

  2. Ah, yes, the first-person-singular-possessive-pronoun stage.

    I think this is the first we’ve seen of Dijon. Cool.

  3. Nothing says fun like neck cramps and other pains, whilst getting someone small to go to sleep. My favorite was the reaching down, into the crib.

    Youngest is going through the “my” phase, which is particularly fun when there is an eldest who owns some of the things youngest tries to claim…

    She is the total cuteness, btw.

  4. Dijon came with her name, by association with her color. (I was going to call her “Dee” for short but SteelyKid demonstrated that she could do a quite reasonable approximation of the full word.)

    We were also reminded several times that Appa is “my Appa!” too, so he’s not that neglected.
