During the semi-quarantine, Fleur has started calling my phone, “More Nannie.” (or “More Nat” her aunt or “More Ava”) She wants to call her grandmother, aunt, and friend. Daily. If not every few hours. The good thing is it has made me conscious of not having it out too much. That also makes me less often able to pay attention to social media.
She also discovered the television. With it, she wants “Mama duck.” This is a Five Little Ducks video. Of course, if we play it once, then she wants to watch it on repeat for hours. The child psychologist part of me hates that I have at times pulled out that rabbit. The pragmatist in me leverages that resource when necessary.
