I spent the entire Saturday working on remodeling my Mom’s house.  At the end of the night, tired I was ready for a long, hot shower.  I grabbed my warm bath robe and headed for the restroom.  It just happened that my sister stopped by with her lovely little girl.  The moment I stepped out of the room, my little niece M* jetted toward me and… grabbed my robe, pulling it out of my hands, before I could even realize what was happening.

MSnoogy_001Dumbfounded I looked at my sister.  After a second it looked like she realized what was happening.  She said that M* has a green blanky that she loves at home, and somehow my robe must have made her think that it was it.

MSnoogy_002My sister Marina tried to approach little M* to see if she can get my robe from her.  Look at her face.  Doesn’t she look like she is ready to defend what is hers?

MSnoogy_003Then Marina tried pulling on the “blanky”, and, boy, was she in trouble! M* was not happy at all and she let her know that.

MSnoogy_004So, I ended up having to go find another robe to take my shower.  It took M* about 40 minutes to get over the confusion and to move on to the next best thing.  So, if I learned one lesson this weekend it was not to wear clothes that might remind my niece of her favorite blanky, or yet I might be left without.

I love my life :) and love the fact that I can photographer moments like these to remember forever.

Your Favorite ;) Longview WA Photographer signing off for the night!

    It was so funny and cute.Oksana thank you for the green blanket, now you know how much Marina loves it!

    That little monkey! I just want to gobble her up! I loved how she would say “No!” and gently swat at whomever dared try to take “her” blanky!

  • Elena

    Jason, I think she might have inherited some of that from you. Don’t you think? ;)

  • Oksana

    That is too funny! Yes, a girl and her blanket are not easily parted. According to child psychologists, children don’t understand or embrace the concept of sharing until they’re about 5 years old, so until then, anyone who chooses to flash something green and soft – beware. :) That’s green blanket power for ya! I miss Little Miss M* to pieces!

    What a precious moment! Methinks my darling angel granddaughter is already 2 years old, or at least has developed a 2-year-old definitive personality! Let’s see . . the next thing on Marina Natalia’s list is “sharing,” which I know she does at times such as offering food?!? Oh, what fun!!
