And what in the world? A monkey in the world!

"So..."

"... And what in the world is this?"

"This is a monkey in the world!"


Lilo, reading to me (turning pages of Julian dreams bk)

"Am I going to be a baby again?"

Lilo, earnest, sitting in her blue chair: "Am I going to be a baby again?"

("a-ginn?")

Renee & Jeremy It's A Big World



It's a big world baby and you live for a little while
It's a big world baby you can fill in your own style


It's a big world for every little thing

It's a big world baby and you're little for a little while
It's a big world baby you can fiddle in your own style
It's a big world baby and you're little for a little while
It's a big world baby you can fiddle in your own style.
... ... in your own style ... in your own style ... in your own style ... in your own style ... in your own style.


oh 'fiddle' each time? - yes - well I say 'fill' you can fill the world in your own style, too - oh it's alos 'little' *every* time! - 'you're littlefor a little while' 'you live for a little while' which is also true an what I heard when first heard when MaryKatherine put it on in lilo's room after nanny nanny

WHERE did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into the here.

...

Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.

Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.


...


How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.

But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so I am here.

open eyes ---this is what I look like because I believe in you!
little fist held ~ eagerness, anticipation, delight ~ a tension

I love to see her postures, undesigned

and actually looking like a caricature, or what would do to signal an emotion, make it large, like on stage.
delight really looks like that? interest really has you leaning forward. or looking up at an airplane, mouth shaped oooh ahh pursed circle.

The Hand That First Held Mine p83: She moves the rattle from side to side and the coloured beads ricochet around inside their clear globes. The effect on the baby is instantaneous and remarkable. His limbs stiffen, his eyes spring wide, his lips part in a perfect round O. It is as if he studied a manual on how to be a human being, with attention to the chaper, 'Demonstrating Surprise.'

sorter studied (Brer Rabbit). later, actually. designed. assumed, tried. stances, attitudes, postures.

A Mind At Peace opening page: His first order of business was to hire a nurse. Given that neither Ihsan's wife nor his mother ever stepped away from the sickbed, the children languished in ruin. The elderly servant could easily handle Ahmet but someone had to fully occupy his little sister Sabiha. More than anything she needed an interlocutor. As Mumtaz mused, he smiled inwardly at the various postures of his little niece.

click to give @ The Animal Rescue Site - photostory 9-22-09: "Our little English Angora, Sid, was dumped at a local shelter. The vet shaved him down. Although I knew Angoras take a lot of work, it didn't matter. His home was with us. My husband was very ill at the time, but each time Sid came to visit him, my husband felt a whole lot better. He is growing out now, but our love for him is growing faster!" -Heather, San Diego, CA

whasa english angora? looks like a rabbit but is it a dr seuss haircut dog no it IS a rabbit ...

this Bumblebeeacres farm in Harvard, Illinois sounds wonderful ~ their breeding animals little dogs, Himalayan cats & kittens, fancy longhair bunnies and also guinea pigs, all who they are nice to. plus felt shop they have sheep & llamas, plus vegetables to market: Bumblebeeacres Farm CSA program: "We are offering pick-up on Saturdays or Tuesdays (box must be picked up by 11am, if not it will be offered to Market customers to avoid waste) at the Woodstock Farmers' Market, located on the beautiful historic Woodstock Square. This is a wonderful option as you will be able to shop at other farm booths that may have additional items that interest you."


n.b. above click to give photostory is as appeared on Animal Rescue Site frontpage. full story has title Bunnies make the best medicine and first sentences read: "Our little English Angora, Sid, was dumped at a local shelter with mats as big as his head. The vet shaved him down to reveal a tiny 2.9 lb bunny." so I would have known it was a bunny right off. did they edit just for length or to remove unpleasant thought of the terrible mats?

Mommy, I'm going to sweep for a while

adorable charlotte

"you're a good kicker!" (several times, after I kick the soccer ball to her across the basement playroom. she's a good kicker too!)

"well sure I do." (after, eg, do you go to the pool a lot?)

"of course I have to clean up now." (doing dishes after making tea at toy kitchen unit.)



Upstairs from the playroom, in the kitchen, her mom is telling me about her favorite frog with a blanket body. I turn to see her carefully coming up the stairs, one step at a time, slow, forward, holding the frog...

Mommy, I love this mailbox -

to me:
Will you leave this mailbox here?
(Totally, it's all yours now.)
Thank you -

Will you leave this book here?
(Sure, I'm giving it to you.)
Thank you -

Will you leave this frame here?
(Absolutely.) ... (told her that was her mommy in the photo, along with me, and also Jen & Dimit) My mommy?!

(then looking at the red mailbox & the tiny blue German dictionary, absorbed again, then looks up)
Will you leave this here?
(yes.)
Will you leave *this* here?
(yes.)
