People I love, part 2



So Johanna is my literal child. Here is a great example. This morning at about 6:45a.m. (my day off) she climbs into bed with me. "GOOD MORNING MOM!" (This is interesting in itself because she is not a morning child, but I had promised her a trip to the beach). I told her we could get up in a couple minutes. Fast forward a couple minutes..."Mom, I counted to 60 two times! Can we get up now?" You have GOT to be kidding me...
She also is quite the Author. This was the book she wrote today:
Title: Sumr Luve
Page 1: (Picture of heart) Hrts are for Luve
Page 2 (Picture of butterfly) Budrfls are for Sumr
And that is where it ends... I love the plot personally

Here are a few other important facts about this freckled face cutie...
1. She is smarter than she appears. She is listening to every conversation anyone has.
2. She is a rule follower and is a stickler for routines. This is very disappointing to her laid back, fly by the seat of her pants mother.
3. She is a die hard ABBA fan thanks to the sound track of Mamma Mia-
4. She can navigate a computer better that most adults. The kid has found every Care Bear and My Little Pony video ever posted on UTube (we spent yesterday putting parental controls on the computer...)
5. She is very empathetic (much to the delight of her social worker mother)
6. At night when she goes to bed she spend 15 minutes teaching a class to her stuffed animals and Barbies. Last nights topic was outer space
7. When she grows up she wants to be a teacher and a magician. She is adamant about living with her parents, but does not want her sister to know where she lives. (This is a potential problem since her sister is adamant about living with her parents as well...)
8. She is a picky eater. She eats applesauce (only a few varieties), bread sticks (not pizza) hotdogs (only microwaved) chicken (in nugget form only) and just to keep things interesting- Chinese food. I read a book on picky eaters once. It said to call broccoli little trees and the kids would eat it. Are you kidding me! If you call broccoli little trees and your kid eats it...
As always a picture is worth a thousand words so here are a few Johanna classics...
