Funny Things Eilish Has Done This Week

1. Danced to 'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon
I was on a Carly Simon kick this week after reading an article about her in Vanity Fair so I popped in her Greatest Hits and went directly to #5 - You're So Vain. Eilish was standing up at the coffee table and her left leg just started moving. She does this kind of bendy thing with it to the beat of the music and ducks her body towards the table like it's a bar and she just finished an ill-advised shot of sour apple - like she's her Mama's child. I thought it was a fluke until I put it on today before Owen left work and the dancing started again. Owen plays music all the time but it's mostly very deep music so E usually just sits in his lap as they contemplate world hunger or whatever Bono is bitching about these days. But not Carly, oh no, Carly moves her.

2. Played 'Where is Eilish' with Mama & Daddy
After her bath this week, in an attempt to keep her laying on the change table as opposed to trying to catapult herself off, I put part of the towel over her face and asked 'Where's Eilish?' to which she pulled the towel off and laughed one of her laughs. She then put the towel back and as I was getting ready to ask 'Where's Eilish?' she started what could only be described as mutter to herself, like 'she's never gonna find me here', so I called Owen in and we dragged the question out to see if the muttering was a fluke, 'Where is Eilish Daddy? I swear she was just here a minute ago...is she under the bed, is she in the closet?' And she muttered the whole time. It might not be reading as funny as it was because I swear y'all, I almost peed my pants.

12 days until I go back to work...mutter, mutter.
