Mondays with Kouryou-chan

elfsMonday is the one day of the week I spend with Kouryou-chan all by myself and get to feel all parental about it. It was fun today; we stopped and bought a book we can both enjoy, Tonari No Totoro in the original Japanese, a challenge for both of us. And then I went home and made home-made pasta sauce with ravioli; the local QFC has these really small, kid-friendly "raviolettes" that are great for her. Like every Monday, she ate everything and then gleefully downed half an Oreo ice-cream cookie sandwich-- truly a sinful invention of the latter 20th century. I showed her how to draw Calvin and Hobbes (poorly), and watched her try to draw me and Omaha. I tried to draw her, but she wouldn't sit still.
Later, I had to clean out three training pants, a practice that, really, requires a hazmat suit and decontamination afterwards. Then I pulled her bath. I let her bathe while I shaved. She said, "You're almost perfect, Daddy."
"Almost? What would make me a perfect?" I said, curious.
"You could be a girl!"
No word from her on why my being a girl would make me perfect.
