Destroy the shaking junk-bushes!

Ashley knows like… a million words. Well, a lot. Just this morning she got 4 new ones. Today’s words: bin (spin), gass (grass), dop (drop) and beesh (beach). She also called Kerry “ke-y” and Jess “jass”. (I got lazy, copied a text message…) We went for a walk this morning, and she kept stopping to point out cars or trees or birds or grass… basically she wouldn’t walk, would stop and sit and just look at the world around her. The only way I got her to walk at all was when we were nearing home and I asked her if she wanted to go see Barb (Jake’s boss/head cook at the restaurant we live above). Ash LOVES Barb, we can’t go outside without her pointing to the restaurant and saying Barb. Barb loves Ashley too, which is good because otherwise our near-constant presence might be annoying. Kerry and Jess (two of the waitresses) got their names said by Ashley today so they were extra happy too.

Jake is so weird. I was just re-settling Ash and he turned out the lounge room light, meaning he is coming to bed and assumes I’m in bed for the night. I asked him to put the light back on for me… so he doesn’t come to bed, instead he is playing video games. He knows he is ‘allowed’ to stay up even if I’m going to bed, so that kind of makes me think he thinks he isn’t allowed to go to bed until I do. Most nights he falls asleep on the couch because he is waiting for me. Silliness.

My gut has been bothering me lately. I don’t know what it is. My best guess is that it is brainmate-related and that coffee is bothering me like it bothered Jake 2 weeks ago. My second best guess shouldn’t be possible.

Jake is playing a very old Zelda game and there are lots of wriggling phallic plants/things that he keeps killing. Destroy the shaking junk-bushes!
