The Linden Show

 I know this isn’t fair to Maren but this post is going to be all about Linden, because she has reached the height of toddler hilarity.

Tonight at dinner She was trying so hard to figure out jokes. Months ago she made up a knock knock joke which was actually pretty sophisticated for such a young toddler. It went like this:

Linden: Knock knock

Me: Who’s there?

Linden: Banana 

Me: Banana who?

Linden: Pear!

Tonight, she made a joke that went like this:

Linden: Knock knock

Me: Who’s there?

Linden: What does sheeps say?

Me: What does sheeps say who?

Linden: Poop!

She definitely does not understand jokes quite yet, but succeeded at making everyone laugh :-)

A few days ago she decided to share her toys with a sleeping cat:

And my favourite which is so sad and also so cute: The other night we were reading a book and she burst into tears. I asked her what was wrong and eventually through sobs she was able to tell me that she was upset because she doesn’t have a pillow. All of the kids in the book we were reading have pillows. “Maren has a pillow mommy has a pillow daddy has a pillow, but Linden doesn’t have a pillow.” So we gave her a pillow, and she was so pleased. But she doesn’t use it. It takes up about 25% of the space in her crib, and she sleeps with her head just below it. However, she is certain she wants to keep it 😂
