Time for a Gratuitous Bridget Post

We have a habit of singing silly songs to Bridget, usually to the tune of other songs. We have “Old McBridgie,” ” Bridgie Bear” which is sung to the tune of of “Spiderman,” and “Baby Bum” which sounds like the theme to Two and a Half Men. Another favorite is this, to the tune of the theme from Scooby Doo:

Bridgie, Bridgity Bear
Bridgie, Bridgity Bear
Hey Bridgie, where are you?

Yesterday, Jake was getting Bridget in the car and sang the first two lines to her, and she responded with “Hey Bridgie, where are you?” Nice to know she listens to us.

Bridget is a puzzle fiend now. She has several of those wooden puzzles and it takes her all of 30 seconds to figure them out. She’ll work the same one a few times and then she is bored with it. What’s the next step up from those puzzles? And don’t say darts.

Can I tell you how thrilled I am that Bridget has discovered Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head? She calls them Tato and she puts their tongues on top of their heads and ears in their nose holes, but she loves them and spends a lot of time and concentration on them. So cute.

Lately I’ve been noticing that Bridget is getting a red rash type thing around her mouth. I notice it most after she eats and part of me just thinks it’s due to the wetness because she is drooling all the time lately. But then I consult Dr. Google and think that she’s got all kinds of food allergies. I’m sure it’s most likely the drooling/wetness thing but I’m starting to keep a log of what she eats just in case and will probably call the doctor tomorrow. Who will laugh at me, I’m sure. She has no other symptoms of food allergies really, nothing digestive, no rashes or hives anywhere else. And yet, I jump to the worst conclusion immediately. No one said being a mom helped you be rational.

Oh and the most charming thing? She now says “I love you Daddy” and “I love you Mommy.”  Doesn’t that just melt your icy heart?
