I want morer of Willow's "morers"

When Willow says the word, it drips from her lips like honey.
And it lands on my and Mommy's ears like honey, soothing our tired and achy cores.
It's the sweetest thing, when Willow does something she likes, such as dancing in circles to my rendition of "Ring Around the Roses," then looks up to me with those big baby eyes, taps out the sign with her hands and utters in her angelic voice, "more?"
She wants more, and Che and I will do anything to give more to her, especially if this sweetness keeps oozing from her.
Willow has been doing the sign for "more" for months. She doesn't do the sign correctly, but we don't care. The sign is tapping the tips of your bunched up fingers together. That's the way I perceive it, though I'm sure it's probably the same sign a TV producer gives to a news anchor encouraging her to "stretch it out" for just a few more seconds until commercial break.
But that's not how Willow does it. She taps the tip of her index finger into the palm of her other hand, as if she's a bookie pointing out where he wants you to put the money you owe him.
She did that sign for months when she wanted more cereal or more milk. She stopped for a while then realized she could use the same sign to get me to keep throwing her in the air or to get Mommy to keep tickling her.
Then that drop of honey came.
One day, Willow started saying "more" while doing the sign.
As with most toddlers' first words, the word doesn't sound like it's supposed to, and that makes it all the more precious.
Willow's version of "more" is two syllables, as in "mohr-er," with the first syllable drawn out and the second a touch of whimsy to punctuate the word. The effect is her tightening up the word and finishing it off. You can probably say the word like she does, just say "morer," but draw out that first syllable for a second or two and drop off that second syllable as if you were asking for something.
But the more I think about it the more I think Willow has it right.
After all, when we're asking for more, don't we really mean we want even more than more implies.
Don't we want morer?

Adding a splash to the winter gray

Willow, Mommy and I went to the Y's pool on Sunday to take advantage of our membership and to do something summery in this dreary and cold weather. We had so much fun swimming and splashing, Willow and I went back on Tuesday. On Sunday, surprisingly, nobody else was at the pool, and the lifeguard seemed resigned to having to sit boringly in her stand. I have no problem with having an entire pool and a lifeguard all to myself, but, again, I was surprised nobody else was there, except for a few exercisers coming and going to use the steam room and the sauna (and a couple of guys hopped in the whirlpool for a few minutes). When Willow and I went on Tuesday, several people were in the pool, but they quickly scattered when the tot and I entered the pool. Maybe their time in the pool had come to a planned end. Maybe they didn't want to be in the water with someone who might pee or poop at any moment. After the initial scattering a couple of men came into the pool area and swam qui...

Among chaos, peace

I want to show you two pictures, but a little later. First I want to introduce you to chaos (or at least what I consider to be chaos) via a handy, dandy list: I am sitting at a laptop, pounding out a blog's letters as quickly as I can think of them. The laptop is only three months old, yet some of the keys stick sometimes. These sticky keys are the ghostly reminders that a toddler's sticky fingers have been pounding on them. Four loads of laundry lie in various states of "unfinish." One load is wet. One load is wrinkling. Two loads await their spins. A fifth load already has been tucked away in drawers, cabinets and closets (then untucked by a toddler then tucked again by me). Cups, plates and bowls hang for dear life to a hastily stacked pile of dirty dishes in the sink while a clean set of dishes sits in the dishwasher. A pile of pictures and postcards blanket the floor beside the desk in the guest room. This was the work of the sticky fingers that pounded on...

Willow's sliding frenzy

Last week, Willow took a huge step in her quest to become a big girl (she's abiding by her plans, not Mommy's and Daddy's, who want her to stay a baby forever). Willow and I went to the playground for a morning of play and a picnic. Willow's idea of "a morning of play" is usually spending A LOT of time on the swing. Up to last week, if she wanted out of the swing, it was to walk over to another, better swing. Then back again. Last week, things changed. I put Willow at the top of a tot slide and started cheering her to let loose. I readied to keep her from tumbling off the bottom of the slide. She let loose, scooted down the slide and stopped just short of the edge. She shimmied off, smiling and took off after the steps to go back up. She clamored to the top of the slide (this set of slides had one "top" with the option of going down three slides: a straight one, a curvy one and a tunnel one). Willow reached the top, sat down, scooted her bottom t...
