Please, Linny?

According to my 2-year-old, I've been this character for the past ten days. Count them.

Ten.

Thankfully this doesn't just make me a guinea pig, but the daring authority figure and leader (hallelujiah) of the Wonder Pets .

She has assigned herself the role of Ming Ming (the duck with the speech impediment--baby sounding r's) and either her daddy or Hudson are Tuck, the only boy sidekick in the trio.

If you've seen this little gem of television weirdness (created by a man with no children, of course) you'll know that 80% of the dialogue is either sung or said in verse. Which means 80% of what Adi says during the day follows suit.

When it comes from her, it's adorable though.

This morning it was, "Should we watch Linny, Tuck and Ming Ming, too? We're Wonder Pets and we'll help you?" And she's been toddling around singing the theme song.

From our bedroom window she can see the neighbor's horses. I sang (in true Linny style) "It's a baby horse, stuck in the snow. This is serious!"

She followed up (on key no less) "We have to help him!"

Last week I asked her what she wanted for breakfast. "Duck food, Linny!" was her response. Of course. She is a duck after all.

Saturday morning Brent walked into her room. "Where's Linny, Tuck?" was the first thing she said to him that day :)

She'll periodically run up to me during the day with her hands on her cheeks, completely distressed about an animal in trouble somewhere. And she'll ask "Should we save the ______, Linny?" So we rescue the poor pretend creature, or watch that episode (thank you, Netflix Instant Play).

If she needs anything, it's, "PLEASE, Linny?" or "Should we, Linny?"

And we use teamwork no matter what we're playing during the day. She reminds me we're not too big and we're not too tough, but if we work together we've got the right stuff.

Silly girl.
