Her favorite seat

Maybe a baby swing...

... but Uma didn't want to be left out.

A perennial favorite (or is it annual?)

New house requirements

"Can we keep our backyard when we move to the new house?"

"When we move to a new house, we should definitely have one with a playset.... but we can't take Evie's!"

No move is imminent, we've just been talking about what we want. And Uma has been listening, and thinking about what she wants.

Sleep... under?

We let Uma sleep on our floor when Kieran wakes her up at night.

Re: Grown-up toothpaste

Crest makes Uma cry. I guess we can't count on a lucrative endorsement deal paying her way through college.

No doubt about to ask: "When will I be this tall?"

One of her favorite questions, up there with "When will I be X years old?"

Swing high, sweet.... something

Not as funny as I thought

Uma: I don't like your funny voices.
Me: You don't think they're funny? They don't make you laugh?
Uma: They make me feel like I want to cry.

Rice cakes are not very much like cake

But Uma likes them anyway.

Uma Gets Her Culture On

On Friday, Uma attended her first show. It was a short opera piece at UT called La Curandera that my friend Lisa was in. Uma was excited and a little overwhelmed. Even though I explained to her what would happen beforehand, she was a little scared when the house lights dimmed and the orchestra began playing. She relaxed when the singers came on the stage and was thrilled when Lisa made her entrance. Lisa played a jealous fiancee, and Uma started to get upset when she thought Lisa was really angry. My assurances that Lisa and the other singers were just pretending calmed her down, though, and she seemed to enjoy the rest of the show.

She did it all by herself

Tell Me What I Want, What I Really, Really Want

The following was an exchange between Uma and me this morning:

"Mommy, can you help me with something?"

"What do you need help with?"

"I don't remember, Mommy. Can you tell me what it is?"

"Um...I don't know. What were you having trouble with?"

"You do know, Mommy, you do! Tell me! TELL ME!"

"Uma, I'm not going to talk to you if you yell at me like that."

"Think, Mommy, think! What is it?" [I swear I'm quoting her verbatim here.]

[I ignore her as she rages on for a couple minutes.]

[Uma suddenly switches to a pleasant voice.] "Oh, I remember. My yellow flower came off the construction paper. Will you get the glue stick for me?"

The picture of comfort

Uma knows all about cake

And isn't too particular when it comes to party hats.

Ready for cake

Uma's turn

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine.

Not her birthday

But we didn't want her to feel left out. I guess that's why we have so much stuff.
