Surprisingly…..I mean SURPRISINGLY, Pippi was a really good patient.
That was, until the doctor left the room.
Eye Doctor
Devil Eyes
I think Micah might think this little girl is possessed at times. In reality, she is probably just like he was. (If I recall correctly, Micah’s mom said she always wanted three kids, but then she got Micah, and settled on the idea of two.) That being said, this girl is silent but deadly — always making messes, and always causing trouble. But these are the terrible twos.
Regardless of the nonsense she is always up to….I am obsessed with this little girl. She is sweet, and petit, and self-contained. Her spider monkey hugs, where she wraps her whole body around me, are to die for. And her “I Yuv You” kills me! She is awesome. And we are all lucky to have her!
Painted Ninja #3
This looks pretty harmless…right?
Wrong.
The Painted Ninja struck again.
It was the mascara wand that did the damage this time.
No Match
Micah is no match when it comes to four wrestling kids up against him!
Too bad Dad!
Cootie Catchers
When I walked in to see Scout and Navy playing with the cootie catchers they made, a rush of nostalgia ran through me. I swear that you could have taken the identical picture of Seth and I, when we were their age.
Brainiac
I met this kid’s english teacher for the first time. She told me the following story:
“Today in class, the kids were put into small groups. They had to elect one person from their group to be the math representative. Scout’s group chose Scout without hesitation, so he came up to the board. I asked a really hard question, and asked the kids to estimate the answer. Out of all of the kids, Scout was the only one who got the answer. But unfortunately, he got it wrong, because he gave me the exact answer — instead of an estimation. To be honest, I made it hard enough that I didn’t think the kids would be able to get close. But I figured they could maybe estimate one. So even though he got it wrong, I pulled him aside before recess and told him that he did a great job.”
Nice work my little sassy-pants brainiac.
Ka & Pip
Just two best cousins at the sidelines of Scout’s football game.
“A Heart”
When I picked Dash up from preschool, he could hardly wait to get something for me out of his bag. And then he pulled out this masterpiece, and told me, “I painted a heart for you”.
And then I melted.
Favorite Things at the Moment
This morning, both of the littles were taken with their current favorites.
Dash played for hours with his car collection. He made tracks, line ups, and garages for them.
And Pippi strapped on her high heels to walk a bit, and then she took them off, only to put them right back on.
Dash’s Farm Field Trip
Dash loves school!
He wakes up every morning asking if it is a school day.
He was particularly excited when I told him that today was not only school…but a field trip to the farm!
He loved every second of it.
And so did the Pips who got to tag along.
