visions

I had visions of a Caribbean Fireman with toilet paper, when I saw
Holly's title to her entry. How funny a vision that was!

As Holly alluded, Jessie likes Mr. Squirrel. Matter of fact, I can
just say, "Jessie! Mr. Squirrel!", point to the door, and she looks in
that direction, often crawling wildly to the door to look outward. The
other day she reached for the doorknob, attempting to go AWOL. But we
have the safety doorknobs, and she's not quite tall enough to do
anything with them yet anyway.

At the IHOP the other day, not only was Jessie melting firefighters'
hearts, she had the IHOP staff lining up. Our server said that they
were all asking one another, "Did you see that little girl on Table
51?"

Getting so much attention has also taught her that she knows she can
get it. We have had to pop her little bottom a time or two when she
would holler or fit-pitch for no reason, except that she wasn't
getting attention at that moment, or was not doing what SHE wanted to
do.

I have no idea where she gets her strong will.
