Peanut now comes over to the door between our houses and calls for me! I'm all like, "say my name bitch!" I get so flattered when tiny babies know me... My campaign of always giving her a piece of cheese or a cookie while making her say "Auntie Badger" - it worked!
Moomin suffers my lectures about how she Admires him. And now I slip him a quarter every time he tries to teach her how to read. It's awesome! He got her to go through his wooden puzzle with the letters. The Acrobat wistfully hopes that Moomin will be "like a big brother" to her - I think he imagines a babysitting big brother... not a beating-up big brother... So, perhaps he will pay some special attention to Moomin and teach him something cool and nerdy, to reward him for being nice to the Nut! Because I got a demand for "TWO quarters" tonight and I'm not sure my wallet can handle it.
Oh man I forgot to mention how funny it was to hear Moomin and Sophie the other night in his room going, "Cheese, Grommit!" over and over with perfect intonation.
Yes! The "Cheese, Grommit!" was brilliant!
