"The Bug"

Not Much is going on at the Whipple house lately but I needed something for this blog!!!!! So I thought I would just tell everyone a little more about Riley's life! I was lying in bed this morning listening to Riley Bug wake up and hearing the cute things she says to herself when she thinks no one can hear her. She talks about her Daddy whom she loves very very much she pretends she is Dora and Piggy is Boots. When she is finally ready to get out of Bed she pretends her Daddy is Charlie and she is Lola saying, "I am ready Chawlie" (she even puts in the British accent) And says it over and over until I can force my feet to touch the floor and get her out of bed! Since Her Daddy worked early today so he could get home early for the family festivities happening tonight I got to be the one to give her the very first hug of the morning! I love that hug, she squeezes so tight and tells you she loves you and gives you a kiss, and Dale is always the one to receive it! It makes it a little easier to get up when I know I am gonna get that hug! But before I get the hug she asks me " I go see daddy??" I reply "Sorry Hunny Daddy is at work" She says back "Go see 'em!... What gonna wear?" She loves Dale so much! The first person she really wants to see in the morning is Him and anything less is a disappointment. Some might think this is sad but I LOVE it! I love that Dale is such a good Daddy to her that she loves him that much!!!! I really am so lucky! But that's another post........ Every day when she gets out of bed she wants to go somewhere, and she loves to pick out her shirt for it. When we get her dressed she says "It's a wonderful dream!" and turns around in circles and then Grabs my hands and gets me to turn her around in circles and sing "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty, to her! She is quite the dreamer! And now when she wants to get really active she will introduce herself as Dora and then says "Hi Eg-Ga-Go" (diego) and we go on an animal saving adventure! Normally to save one her various Stuffed animals! Piggy has been the star a few times! we set up an obstacle course and sings all the songs! She LOVES it! And then I am tired! ha ha The other Day I was on the phone with a primary leader from our new ward and she needed some info. on Riley (her birthday and such) when she says to me "Ok so she will be three in June and will be a Sunbeam in a year!" She said it very excited...... It felt like a death sentence to me!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME MY BABY IS NOT GONNA BE A SUNBEAM....... SHE CANT POSSIBLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH! I told Dale what that crazy lady said to me on the phone and Dale had the same reaction!! No our "Bug" CAN NOT be getting THAT big!!!!!!!! I would love to just be ignorant to those things thank you! I don't need to be told these things! Let me deal with them as they come. Don't spring these things on me before they need to be sprung!!! Dale and I agreed that she is perfect just the way she is, and she is not going to get older anymore.... Hope that works! ha ha Its hard for us to face reality! But that's about all that's going on in our world! Hope everyone has a GREAT Thanksgiving!

Dale had something to say about this in the comments but I know not everyone reads them so I thought he should have a part in the post! So this is from Dale

Although some of that may be true, Riley does the same thing to me when I get her out of bed. The first thing she says is "Shh, mommy's seeping, le's go get her." If I don't let her go get mommy she'll cry the whole time until mommy finally comes out of the room.
