Hazeldotes 1-2

1. We went to see Tyler play hockey recently and ever since then, anytime he is at work or out of the house Hazel thinks he is at hockey. She pronounces it very properly and almost sounds British. She thinks he plays a loooot of hockey.

2. About two weeks ago we were eating pizza sitting around our coffee table. We've really been enjoying eating dinner there lately because Hazel sits in one of her little chairs and Tyler and I sit on the floor, and it's just cozy and fun. Tyler had to leave for hockey so Hazel and I said goodbye to him in the kitchen and we left her pizza unattended in the living room.

When she went back in I heard her say "Go Away!" I rushed back in knowing what had happened and started yelling at Norbert for eating her pizza off the table. It's a bad habit he's been trying lately and I really wanted to nip it in the bud. Hazel started sobbing and I wasn't sure if it was because she'd not seen me yell like that before, or whether she was sad her pizza was gone... I soon had my answer when she started crying "Piiiiiiiiiiizzzzaaaaaa..." boo hoo hoo! I got her another piece and all was fine with the world.

She's been a bt of a hold out for trying to say Norbert's name. I've been excited to see what she ends up calling him, so I ask her pretty frequently to say his name. Usually she dodges the question by saying "doggie" or something, but ever since the pizza incident she says, "Pizza! Bad!" Between that and a few scratching incidents lately, their relationship is in a pretty rocky place.
