Happy Mommy's Day!

Hi, friends and family. Today, I would like to send a shout out to all you baby mamas and baby-mama mamas, and especially to my dada's baby mama -- which is to say: my Mommy, my old lady, the woman who brought me into this world and (at least so she says) can take me out of it, and the consensus No. 1 on my Top 10 list for 20 months and counting.

There are many reasons why I love my Mommy. Here are just a few of them:

She always introduces me to her friends, even the weird ones -- like Jake and Ellwood, who claim to be blues singers, but who didn't seem to respond very well to my irresistable cuteness when we ran into them in a coffee shop.


My Mommy isn't jealous of others on my Top 10 list who want to knock her out of the top spot. Here, she takes me to see some choo-choo trains, which I totally dig.

She also is well-versed on the latest trends in swimsuit fashion, of which I am a primary beneficiary.

She graciously signed me up for a swim class, and thus far has managed to keep me from drowning despite my sprinting towards the water the instant I see the pool, my constant squirming in her arms in the water, and my sudden curiosity about the high-dive board.

How cool is my Mommy? She's so cool, she didn't even get upset when I showed up at home, following a late night (OK, a late afternoon) of carousing, with this pirate-flag tattoo. (My Daddy? Well, let's just say he's not quite as cool about it.)

My Mommy and I like to feed each other ice cream. Or rather, she feeds me, and I jam plastic food utensils into her mouth.

When I was discovered sitting helplessly on the train tracks, with a fast-moving choo-choo bearing down on me (only to be saved by a quick-thinking photographer), she didn't even get upset with me.

My Mommy is so cool, sometimes I can't contain myself, and I just have to throw my head back and squeal with delight!

She also takes me out to see cool music, and tells me not to pay attention to my Daddy when he says I'm not allowed to date musicians.

OK, that's all for now. I leave you with my latest Top 10 list. As always, thanks for checking out my blog. See you next time.

Love,

Lucinda
