Kiss it and make it better
Linna definitely likes for me to kiss her boo-boos, as it were (we don't really call them "boo-boos," though). Often after a kiss she'll say, "Little more," or "No, right there!"
Today she was very grumpy, probably because of being sick. At lunch she made her way around the table to me to nurse (sometimes to be funny she calls it "nursie" like Adrian does, instead of "nana"). I picked her up, we nursed a bit, and then she started to cry and said, "Ow...." I asked if she had bitten her tongue, and she said yes.
And then - I'm sure you can see this coming - she said "Kiss it!" and stuck out her tongue. I kissed the air near her mouth, but she came back with "Little more!" and "Right there!" as she stuck it out again. Um... how to explain that people don't normally kiss each others' tongues, per se, and especially not when the tongue in question has been sick? Anyway, I finally resolved it, at Jeff's suggestion, by kissing my finger and touching it to the proper spot on her little tongue.
In other cute news, Linna and Ethan are into singing the "Bob the Builder" song together right now. They sing loudly - and pretty much in tune - "BOB the Builder, can we fix it, BOB the Builder, YES WE CAN!" And then, also in perfect unison, "Yayyy!"
