Fringe isn't on tonight, so my princess and I are spared an argument on the tv. It is friday night, so I am letting her sit on the sofa and watch the somewhat obnoxious Disney channel.
Princess is eating an orange icee, made by her and us. She and I actually kind of worked together in the kitchen when I took the blender out to make some shakes (lots of old bananas to use up). Looked up recipes on the internet. After making a chocolate/banana shake for myself, princess wanted to make an orange/banana smoothie. We found a recipe in which we had all the ingredients (oranges, bananas, sugar, salt, milk, ice cubes -- missing only the vanilla yogurt).... when it was done, she poured it all to herself, resisitng my entreaties to share. But we were actually working togehter in a mostly civil way in the kitchen so I am counting that as good......
later, she wanted an orange icee....My attempt wasn't icee enough (too smoothie; she went and crushed 20-30 ice cubes in the blender to add to the overly smooth orange drink I made......
Princess is making occasional comments on the tv show (austin and ally) right now as I write and she drinks her orange icee. . Nothing profound....it is just that it is one of the few times she talks to me in a normal conversational voice. Most of the time she uses loud angry offended voice....other times she uses whiny pleading/begging voice. I treasure the times she talks to me with what is, for most regular people, a regular normal voice.
