\"\"<\/a> Eve has a funny fixation on
\n birds. I think it’s a combination of two events from earlier
\n this summer. The first being when my dad hung a birdhouse on
\n the tree and I was explaining to Eve that the birds can go into
\n the little hole and build their nest. Then, at the 4th of July
\n party when Lex lost his balloon, Eve asked what would happen to
\n it and I made a comment about how maybe a bird would get it.
\n Now she seems to be fixated with birds. Not real birds, just
\n her birds. Whenever she sees a hole (including the one in my
\n pajama pants!) she says “for the birds to go in?” She is
\n convinced that a bird lives in a tiny hole in our bathroom
\n ceiling and she talks about the bird coming out and flying
\n around and taking things. We couldn’t find her milk cup
\n yesterday and she told me the bird took it. Where is the marker
\n cap? The bird took it. Hmm…. She also frequently talks about
\n the bird that took Lex’s balloon away and made him cry. We
\n didn’t actually see a bird, mind you, I just commented that
\n maybe a bird would get the balloon. She has a great
\n imagination!<\/p>\n

Speaking of imaginations,
\n at nap time today she asked me to make the monster go away! I
\n said “what monster?” and she pointed to the corner of the room.
\n A few minutes later she pointed to the curtains tucked around
\n the AC unit and said “what’s that?” I explained, she looked
\n skeptical and said, “please just lay with me mommy.” :) So
\n sweet!! We never had monster issues with Lex, but maybe Eve’s
\n imagination will be a positive and negative. Or maybe she was
\n too young to watch Monster’s Inc.! She definitely has been
\n exposed to more media than he ever was at this age. They were
\n watching Wall-E yesterday while I made dinner and about five
\n minutes into the movie she came into the kitchen and told me it
\n was too scary for her. He watched for another 20 minutes while
\n she played in the kitchen with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
