Cbear's personality is a delightful mix of little girl and tomboy. She loves "toot" (cute) clothes and shoes and must have her toenails painted whenever mommy does hers. But she also loves playing outside and getting dirty. She lets puppy dogs lick her face and digs in the mud with sticks. I love this about her.
This past weekend with her cousins, she discovered a love of playing with worms. She wasn't scared a bit, carrying them around and showing them to everybody. So the next day, we were outside in our own yard and she found a worm with her daddy. I was in the house putting Jellybean down for a nap so I missed the beginning of the friendship. But after finding him under a stone in the yard she named the fat earthworm "Snake-mo-mo" and for the next hour or two they were inseparable.
Cbear made a little home for him with a bowl of water filled with rocks, set him down in it and had a whole conversation. She played with him in the sandbox. She tried to jump with him on the trampoline but daddy wouldn't let her. She made him hold a piece of sidewalk chalk and draw a picture on the patio. She chattered away at him as they played. At this point I came outside and she gave him to me saying to Snakemomo, "You wanna hold mommy?" I put him back in his water for a little bit and Cbear was ready to play some more. So she took him for a ride in her wagon, then put him on the swing and pushed him. In fact, he had to try all the swings, ending with Claire holding him while daddy pushed her. At this point she accidentally broke Snakemomo and just after that she was distracted by something so we put the poor little fellow back on the ground. I'm not sure if he returned Claire's affection; I think he ran away as fast as he could scoot.
Today we went outside and Cbear immediately started searching for her little pet. "Where Snakemomo? Where he go? He in the water? He in the grass?" I guess he was either put out of his misery or found a good hiding place!
