Maranie = Mommy

A journey into every new unknown of motherhood.

Thursday, June 29, 2006

As Veronica is three years old, she is prone to the (not-so-)occasional meltdown. And usually, said meltdown will be caused by the most trivial of matters, such as her desire to see "The Wiggles" when it is not on TV and we do not have it on DVD or video. Or, her desire to wear a certain shirt or pair of jammies that are in the dirty laundry. Or her inability to open the screen door by herself. You get the idea.

Not to trivialize her concerns, but in trying to keep her a bit grounded, Jason has taken to telling her "It's no big whoop." And wouldn't you know it...

Jason is romping around with her and gets kicked in the face by accident. "It OK Daddy," she tells him, "it no big whoop." Janus whines for more food. "It OK Janus, you got food, it no big whoop." She visits cousin Zane and he starts crying over something. "It OK Zane, it no big whoop."

(sigh)

Although I do admit, you are comforted when you're laughing at how cute that sounds when she says it.

    Sounds like Veronica could co-author the next volume in the "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" series. Or, better yet, she could start her OWN series entitled--what else?--"It No Big Whoop"!
