D-U-M Dumb

Hi Oma,

Mama says you're still sick and we should do stuff to try to entertain you. I offered one of my teething rings for you to chew on, but Mama said a letter might be better.

Today it is snowing in Utah. Again. We're supposed to get 4-8 inches. That might be taller than me! Daddy says maybe Tante Ingrid and Uncle Nat could find some nice winter property for us in Minnesota.

Katie is outside in the snow barking at Goliath, the horse who lives behind us. Mama says that dog is D-U-M dumb.

Boo went outside today too. Mama called him a "dumkopf," which I think is German for "kitty cat who is not too bright." I like Boo, though. He sleeps in my pack-and-play. I like to grab his fur and make noises at him.

Today I have a bad diaper rash. Maybe from the new oatmeal cereal? I'm all red and I even have a little blister. I probably don't need to tell you, but a blistered bum is no fun. I get to wear disposables today and I get slathered in Baby Bee ointment at every change. I don't know what "slathered" means, but it sounds like fun!

Mama and Daddy are cleaning because Miss Mirjam and Reverend Daniel are coming over for dinner tonight. Since Mama was cleaning, Sabrina decided to pee on the floor in the playroom. Mama asked why the accident happened, and Sabrina said because she didn't feel like going to the potty.

That little girl needs to learn to lie better. She didn't even bother to ask Mama if she was mad. Probably because even I knew the answer to that one.

Well, I'm going to go chew on some stuffed birds now. I hope you feel better soon!

Love,
Linnie Lou
