I have no idea

We're playing in her room after nap. Her hair is a mess since she sweats so much while she is napping. It is odd, that she sweats, but she always has.

We've already celebrated Esme's birthday, an event that happens, at a minimum, two times a day. It happens once when she wakes in the morning, and then usually after nap. Esme's birthday is when she places her Fisher Price figures around a table and sings happy birthday. They are old school toys; the toys are from Mommy and Daddy's childhood. The table is from the castle, as are many of the chairs -- especially the high backed red one in which Esme always sits. The castle has a trap door and a secret room behind the stairs that swing out. The other chairs are from the house. Many people remember the doorbell on the yellow roofed house. Peggy, Esme's mom, is the knight from the castle. Her dad is the wooden boy in orange from the house. Bella, Esme's cat, is the red headed girl from the house. Tahlia is the blond girl from the house. Mommy is, of course, the queen, and Daddy the king. Asher, you probably guessed, is the prince. Esme is the green painted father from the house.

All of these figurines sit around the red table while Tahlia and Mommy, or Daddy, or both, sing happy birthday, then Esme blows out the candle.

We've already gone through this. She is running around the room right now.

You also need to know that she has started repeating specific expressions that we see. Repeating isn't the right word. She has begun using the expressions that Mommy and Daddy use regularly. We often hear her say phrases such as:

"Hey, . . . "
"I'll be right back, you guys."
"Now we're all ready for the day."

And today, while running around the room, she is looking for Avrom. Avrom is hidden under the pillow by her bed. I know this because I saw her put it there. She is walking around the room saying, "Where is Avrom?" and pretending to look everywhere.

Suddenly she turns to Mommy and uses a Mommyism. "Hey Mommy, where is Avrom? I have no idea!"

Mommy says this often. No specifically about Avrom, but, when pretending to play with Tahlia, she often says "I have no idea!", in a singsong voice. Now, so does Tahlia.
