Shannon's imagination has gone wild.
She loves pretend games. We play tea party, restaurant, dentist, doctor, office and vet quite regularly. (Sidenote: Kelly has a pet lion that looks an awful lot like my pillow.)
She loves hearing stories. When it comes to classics, Goldilocks and Cinderella are the favorites. She also likes originals such as "Shannon being born" and hearing explanations about how things work over and over. The "story about how roots give water to flowers" is a mild obsession right now.
And she's become a little kid with her own language. Here's a glossary to Shannon-speak:
Chatcha: definitely an adjective, but I have no idea what it means.
Hee-hees: soft, furry imaginary animals that are blue and brown that live in Philadelphia.
Hulup: another imaginary friend
Ooka, mooka, booka: Mommy, Winston and Sadie respectively. Used only to refer to the group (usually going up or down stairs) never individually.
Weebie: an imaginary animal that has green and yellow feathers and lives in New York. I once pretended to be allergic so now I must sneeze and cough dramatically every time she hands me one.

Ooka, Mooka, and Booka should come with Chris, Shannon, and Kelly to New York. I promise you that we will not see any Weebies. If we do, I'm sure the Hee-hees can take care of any chatcha problem.
In any case, Hulup should totally come too.
that girl is just too cute! tell her Uncle Mike has a good video of Elmo riding a tricycle saved on the dvr for her.
Too cute! Love that you are allergic to Weebies
SO funny. Addie and Shannon will get along famously next weekend. Addie has friend "leh leh and Wap" and they come over frequently for dinner. And if she makes up other words and I say "What does that mean" she just explains "oh, that's my friend" hilarious!
