letter Two to my Muffin*

*author's note: an ongoing conversation with my Muffin, who is baking inside my GC.

hello, Muffin!

yep, it's me, your GRANDMA. omg, when i type that word i get all shivery inside. (you can call me "noni". actually, i don't care. you can call me anything you want. you know why? because you're my angel. heh.)

you have eyes now! and you still have webbing between your toes and fingers...that's so cool. don't you think it's cool? i do.

can you tell i'm a little excited?

****

your mama has a registry now, and i want to buy everything on it. every. single. thing. i figure it's my mission to spoil you as much as i possibly can. I CAN'T WAIT.

i'm never going to have any money ever again in my life.

heh.

****

i dream about you, you know. we sit on a log by a small stream in the shade, and you have on a pink gingham dress edged in white eyelet. you are about three years old, i think (i know you won't come out that big, silly Muffin!) and your chubby feet are bare. you show me things you've found on the bank, and i hold your tiny hands in mine and marvel aloud, while in my heart i marvel the miracle of you.

****

i'm going to warn you right now, i'm going to be singing to you. it's okay, you'll get used to it. it's not as bad as diaper rash, and after awhile, you might like it. here's a preliminary list; you can study it a bit and either suggest one or take off what you don't like:

Muffin's Playlist

1. You Are My Sunshine
2. Away In The Manger (both in and out of season)
3. John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidz
4. Matelinacatalinawhoopasinawannadonna
5. The Cow Kicked Nelly
6. Playmate
7. Danny Boy
8. Oh Susannah
9. On Top Of Old Smokey (both official and unofficial versions.)
10. Bawitdaba

feel free to add or take away from the list :)

****

oh, i didn't put Rock a Bye Baby on there because i don't like the lyrics. i'll sing it, but it will be with different words.

don't ask. you don't need to know.

and don't bug me about it, either, because i'm not going to tell you. and don't cry.

oh geez.

i'm in so much trouble.

****

your mama is feeling a little better, not a lot, and i appreciate you cutting her that much slack. could you do it again this week, darling Muffin? you won't regret it, honest. you've got the best mama in the whole world, and i'm not kidding. she's funny, and best of all, she's COOL. you know how important that is.

i love you very much, little Muffin. just do your job and grow nice and healthy, okay?

i'll see you in my dreams, dearie :)

<3
