Monday, April 28, 1986 Laura is age 2yrs28days
I showed Dad where Mom hides the chocolate chips in the refrigerator. Mom wasn't home but my Aunt Natasha saw me spit out at least fifteen chips so I could chew the rest that were in my mouth.
Aside from Mom-- (I hid the chips in a large yogurt container at the back of the bottom shelf of the fridge. Since I was the only one who liked yogurt I figured they were safe there--which was true for several months).
At the Church Breakfast on Saturday morning I found an orange knit cap and a winter coat I wanted to wear. It didn't matter to me that they belonged to Mark Powell and he is a year older and bigger than me. I was willing to fight for them. Dad intervened and Mark got them. Then I wanted to play basketball with the big boys.
Dad stayed home with Jasmine and me on Sunday while Mom taught her lesson and sang in the choir. We both have colds and hoarse voices. Natasha came to tend us at 3:30 so Dad could get to work at the t.v. station. Natasha told Mom that I was upset when she tried to put the couch cushions back on and tidy up. Then Natasha explained to me that we were picking up so the house would look nice for mama. That satisfied me and I quit being upset.
Sunday night after Jasmine was in bed I practiced my mothering skills on a kitchen chair. I had it turned over on its back in the living room. I powdered it and I put my kitty-tennis shoes on its legs and gently kissed each shoe.
This morning my mom found me exercising with the television aerobics show.
