Jubiilee's dream- She laughed and laughed

Time is FLYING!!! yesterday something flew in the window and I started sneezing profusely. Took a little Benedryl and was woosey all afternoon, but not sneezing so I took a nap with Jubi. Awhile back I posed the question about what leads to a two year old asking for a nap. Turns out that a three hour walk will do the same as a four hour walk. To walk to the old town, do a little shopping and walk back took three hours. Things move at a slower pace when you are walking. What I have noticed is that teh abundance of cars is exponentially growing and I am also noticing a lot more FAT people this time. Before there were fat old people, but this time there are a LOT of fat young people. There are still an abundance of painfully thin young women, but now there is a good heaping helping of chunky women of ALL ages. Hmmm, it does not take long for things to begin a down hill slide. I saw Ania and Rafel Sunday but we were on our way to eat and were late so I did not stop to talk. Ania at least smiled. Rafel, not so much. it will be interesting. Jubi is in my lap and unhappy so the typing will have good and bad moments and I don't have the energy to make corrections. I am surprised (not really) as to how hard it is to get to the computer. It does not help that the wireless is not working right now so I can only use it in Basia's room. It took a friend's boyfriend about 8 hours to get it up and running sooooo, no messing with it, no experimenting/

Speaking of experimenting, Jubi and I are testing each other. shehas stopped saying Please or Thank You since arriving. We are seeing how far we can push it with each other before it gets a bit ugly. She has passed on candy, ice cream (lody) and several other tasty treats to avoid having to say Please. Such a girler~! And the smile she tries to hide when she is NOT saying thank you or please. She wins some. I win some. Mostly we cuddle.

This morning ( I think it is Thursday) she woke up before basia left for work. We asked her if she had any dreams and she answered no and then proceeded to share her dream. It went something pretty close to this... Daddy was getting me and Peter protected me. I was laughing and laughing. Sounds like a very good dream. Her little kitties from Central Market, marvelous pink kitties with fantastic fuzzy tails, have new names. Before they were Big Kitty and Little Kitty and New Little Kitty. Now Jubilee is calling Big Kitty by Daddy Kitty. I think it is sweet how she works out feelings through her dolls. Her Soft Pink Baby that was given to her by our neighbor Patty when she was born has been a constant companion since leaving the house for the airport. She is very caring and considerate of her baby. Her baby got PAINT on her and had to spend the night on the balcony drying. It was quite traumatic but she was dry for nap time the next day. What a relief. The kitties kept her company that night of the wet doller so it was fine, but it was also a bit stressful. When we go to sleep we have to face each other. She wont' go to sleep unless our noses are almost touching. She is almost always ready for bed, we are staying up too late as Basia gets home so late and there is little time to visit. We snuggle up and usually it is just seconds until Jubi is asleep. the night of no Pink Baby had half an hour of whimpering before we found the Pink Kitties and then she was off to sleep.


Soon we are leaving for a friend's "Garden" to spend the day with Natalie.> Natalie is six months younger than Jubilee and very sweet. We are using her stroller while we are here and it wa sher bike we borrowed at first. I hope it will be a good day. Natialie's aunt is Kasia who is Basia's friend who moved to start a church. I forgot to ask if she speaks english. Love to all. Gwen
