Trail of Muna


Just in case anyone didn't know, Muna is our nickname for Miss Clementine. She was christened in the womb with it by Mr. Ethan when he would run up to my tummy and fetus-talk with her. He was crazy about her in my tummy - I mean crazy -  and when she finally graced us with her presence, he was even more crazy about her. So the name stuck and now she is Muna. Muna Muhala, to be exact. All of us call her by that along with Clemmie, Miss Clementine, Clembot, SweetPea, and PwuttyBaby. But Sometimes, Sebastian will be all, "See how she responds to that? (Muna) I don't like that because soon she's gonna forget her REAL name and when people ask her her name, she's just gonna say her name is Muna." Then he'll give me a little demonstration on how she really does respond to Muna more than Clementine, and I just smile. His face shows worry, but really, it's not like we nicknamed her Sharptooth.

So this girl, this Muna, likes to leave her stuff all around the house like she's some sort of Princess or something and I just have to pick up after her all day long. I think she likes to see me work, cuz she leaves her stuff everywhere, and besides, what kind of baby leaves their milk-filled sippy cup behind the books on the bookshelf? I'll tell you what kind...the kind that likes to see their mommy go out and purchase new sippy cups and show her where the old ones are when they get home.


























Toys in my bathroom, bows in the tub, books on the floor, sippy cups left alone in the hallway.
This is the work of our Muna.

The Princess, indeed!

Love it! While Marc and I were away adopting Zion we went to Ikea. They have a super cute push cart. We bought it for Noah and now he "gathers" his treasures in it and pushes it around! Maybe this will help you with your endless pick-up!

too funny! I guess the princess muna knows y'all will pick up after her!
I knew a kid once who's nickname was Spike. For real. Every one called him that; parents, friends, teachers, etc!
