B-day coming up!

Cookie's birthday is coming up! =]
On that same note, a few weeks ago she invited uncle R to her party (which we haven't planned yet). She told him it would be on the 18th, at aunt Nene's house, and they'd have juice, salad, and cake. I asked her what was going on, and she said "oh, I'm already inviting peoples."

She is so much my grandfather's granddaughter. He used to invite half the world to our family bbqs, and we would sit and watch all kinds of random people walking into the front yard. It made him so happy, to be able to socialize like that. And now Cookie's carrying the legacy. God only knows who will show up on the 18th to have some salad and juice. ;)

She makes my world Better

Found this song today, Cookie, and thought of you. I hope someday you can understand it. Love you "bigger than eternity and infinity together". 

She'll be enough to make you cry

She'll be enough to open your eyes

To all the little things that make this world better

She'll give you love you never knew

She'll give her heart only to you

And she'll make your life oh better

So when she comes to you in the middle of the night

Cause she's scared to be alone in the dark

You'll tell her everything's gonna be alright

Cause I will be your light

I will be your night

I will be that star in the sky who watches over you

You'll tell her everything you know

You'll tell her "oh the places you'll go"

So you can be a good girl and

make this world better.

You'll give her all the love you have

Even when she makes you so mad

Keep in mind, that she made your life better.

So when she comes to you and she's so confused

Because she wants to give her heart to another

You'll tell her everything's gonna be just fine

Cause I will be your light

And when the years are going by too fast

and she's growing up to be big and strong

Know her love for you will last

Even when she doesn't say it to your face

Even when you have to put her in her place

Know that she's a love that nothing in this

world can ever replace.

TV

Uma mulher na televisao conversava com o pai depois da mae
ter morrido, e falou: “Pai, eu preciso de voce agora, eu to completamente
perdida.”
A Cookie escutando, falou: “ela ta brincando, ela nao ta
perdida nao (ela ta no hospital).”

Little Me

Every time I come home and find the TV too loud, I ask mom to turn down the volume and say "ta parecendo casa de doido!", which means it sounds like a crazy person's house.

So today I'm sitting here with my Cookie, both of us doing homework, when she asks me "Mana, can you please turn the volume down? Parece casa de doido..."

=] I'll make sure to watch my mouth.

The Final Result

Yeah...

Mom brought Jack (aunt's dog) home yesterday, because Aunt will be traveling with her hubs and we dog sit sometimes (hey, she BABYsits for us). So Evelyn was explaining why Jack was coming over:

"Tia Nene vai vagiar..."

Yup. =] Adorable.

Toothfairy Failed

Cookie's second tooth fell off this week. I'm posting a picture of how it looked before it fell, just barely hanging there, and I'll post the after picture later. This one didn't come off so easily; Cookie was scared, and she cried a lot when mom pulled it. I think she was kind of hurt too that we didn't just let it fall off on its own. But it was already bleeding, we could see the root on one side, and I was afraid she'd swallow it in her sleep. But the operation was a success, and Cookie was healed almost instantly.

That night, however, was especially busy for me and my large amount of homework, so I stayed up late and promised Cookie I'd put her tooth under the pillow so toothfairy would leave her her dollar. But since manas are good for nothing when they're busy and tired, of course I forgot. Cookie woke up next morning, excited, and looked under her pillow. Her face portrayed her feelings: betrayal. The toothfairy had not come for her second tooth. I quickly said I'd gotten the dollar when I woke up, afraid it'd fall under the bed (while I ran to the living room and got her the dollar). She said nothing about it, but I don't think she really bought it. She had that suspicious look. Oh well. Another one's coming soon, and I'll make sure I do it right this time.
