Poor Moya has had a weird rash on her butt. Took her to the doctor and it turned out to be a form of strep. They gave her antibiotics and some cream. But it has been several days of horrible diaper changes. Crying, screaming, fighting us. Sooooo sad and heart breaking.
She is better now but still a bit traumatized. Last night she kept having nightmares crying in her sleep saying "no no no change diaper!" :(
Poor monkey just hate seeing her in pain.

Little Angel
Night before last we lost my grandpa and one of our baby guinea pigs. So last night we held a little ceremony for the guinea pig. Moya stayed upstairs while Brad, Belle, and I buried him in a pot and said goodbye. Belle came upstairs VERY upset, crying, and went into her room. Moya stopped what she was doing, looked after Belle and just took off after her saying "what's the matter Belle?" She then stayed at Belle's door knocking gently at it and saying "it's ok Belle. It's ok."
I went and took her in to Belle's room and she climbed on Belle's bed and hugged her and kissed her. Then started talking about Monster High and doing Lion-O's "Thundercats Ho!" from Thundercats. It was an obvious attempt to cheer Belle up by trying to get her thinking about stuff she knew Belle liked.
Belle was touched but needed some time alone so I had Moya give Belle her munch-munch and a kiss and then we let her be.
But I was just so moved by how empathetic and sweet and loving and selfless Moya was. She is such an affectionate girl.
6/19/12 - Update: I mentioned this to Belle's therapist and she was amazed and said it is extremely uncommon for a 3 year old to be that empathetic. That empathy for others is something we have to teach to some degree. We have a certain amount of the ability we are born with but it has to be cultivated. And usually by 3 it's not so strongly there. But the fact that Moya could see pain, understand it, and do so much to try and make Belle feel better was amazing! :) Very cool.

Oreo
I handed Moya her first Oreo cookie... She twists the top off and scraps the frosting out with her fingers. Awesome. :)

Moya-isms
Moya is almost 3. Her vocabulary is excellent and getting better every day. She also has her own little sayings just like Belle did at her age. So I thought I'd write down some of my favorites.
1. "Oh GOSH!"
2. "Mommy!(or whatever she is looking for) Where aaaare you?! Are you hiding?!"
3. (and once she finds what she is looking for) "There you are!"
4. "EEEW! Yuck!"
5. "This is FUN!"
6. "Smell good!"
7. "It's delicious!"
8. "So good!"
9. "It's ok! It's alright!" (says this to reassure herself when she's nervious about something)
10. "Little help?" (said when she wants you to do something.)
11. "Okay" and "Okay sure." (this is her 'yes' response)
12. "What dee heeck!?"
13.

Bucket Baby
Moya emptied all the toys our of her toybin in the closet and made herself a little bed in there with her Mr. Incredible doll. I know most kids like little hideouts but Moya seems to just LOVE them! So cute. She'll empty out cubboards and crawl in, ask for her bunny and smuch-munch and pretend to sleep.

Santa Train
We took the girls on a trainride to see Santa. SO fun. Both girls loved the train. Moya also loved the little train play area they had for the kids while waiting to see Santa.
