Lullabyes

London is very specific in her lullabyes. If I start singing anything but what she wants she stops me. And if miss a verse or skip a line to save time she lets me know. She really likes these two songs that I sang with a band -Man Over Machine-- Today and Break You

Giants

London asked me if she would have to find another home to live in if she grew too tall. Then she said "that probably won't happen, I'm not a giant"  I reassured her that we would raise the ceiling if needed

Picture Perfect

Big Bottom

We recently hired a woman to sit for our kids while I sleep. She is an older black heavier set woman. The first day on the job London asked, "Why is your bottom so big?" She said it was because she ate too much candy.

Loch Lomond

London's favorite bedtime song from Joel right now is his scottish specialty Loch Lomond. One of the lines is "you take the high road and I'll take the low road"  and she said "so one of them take the sidewalk and one of them take the road?"

Kisses of Gratitude

Whenever London gets excited or is pleased with something she runs up to me and gives me a hug and lots of kisses. For example, tonight I made Jell-o, spaghetti, brocolli, and garlic bread. When she heard she said "Mom! That's the dinner that I wanted! Thank you Mom!"

Then when you don't do what she wants....there was a little girl with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead and when she was good she was very very good but when she was bad she was horrid.

London's screaming is horrid. But her dimples, imagination, and charm more than make up for it. She has a specific pose that she uses when she knows she is being photographed. She plays by herself with no trouble and we can't stop her from singing or humming.

Princess London

When people ask what London's name is she says "Princess London." And she believes it. Little Diva child. Those dimples and that sweet voice....oh what bliss. I love my job.
