The toddler

The toddler sits and sighs, "Hmm, so much destruction left to do. A toddler's work is never done."

I love Miri

March 19, 2019

"I love Miri the most!" sez the cow.
"No I do!" sez Lovey, "even though she bites my ears."

"She bites my face," counters the cow.
"She bites my face," sez Lovey, "and my bottom too."

"I love Miri so much that I'm willing to give up my most prized possession," sez the cow, hugging her donut. "What do you have?"
Lovey pauses begrudgingly. "My dignity."

"Oh I see."
"At least it's better than a donut!"

(Miri: puts burp cloth in mouth)

I am not a trained seal


Me: Baby, say Mama
Miri frowns = “I am not a trained seal.”
Me: Hey, they’re sea lions and they can balance a ball on their nose. What can you do?
Miri: *blows raspberry*

I've Got Things To Do

"I've got a busy life," sez the baby in a look. 
"I've got toys to visit."

Rock a my MIri

Rock a my Miri on the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, Miri will climb up a tree
And down comes the cradle without Miramelle!

Lullabies for Miri II

Sung to Brahm's Lullaby:

Baby sleep
Baby sleep
Baby sleep like an angel

Baby go to sleep
Baby go to sleep
Baby really needs her sleep *

Baby sleep
Baby sleep
Baby really needs her sleep
Baby sleep
Baby sleep
Baby really needs her sleep

Miri sleep
Miri sleep
Miri sleep like you do

Miri go to sleep now
Don't you worry
Everything will be alright

Miri sleep
Miri sleep
Miri really needs her sleep
Miri sleep
Miri sleep
Miri really needs her sleep

Baby Bear

Dear Customer Service,
I have been a faithful consumer of your bears for over 20 years. I was under the impression that they all sleep peacefully on the bed, but this latest bear WILL NOT SLEEP and sometimes will crawl away!
While I applaud you on its unique and quite adorable design, I fear you may have gone overboard because it hiccups, coughs, sneezes, vomits, and often produces a foul stench. It also chews on everything in sight, which has all the other bears shaking in fear.
I am completely flummoxed as to what to do. It will sit waving a stuffed bunny, saying "Det det det det det det..." Do you suppose this is Morse code?
Please advise. Thank you.

Songs for Miri

Roll, roll, roll my gundy
Gently down the sheets
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
