Hazel de Wazel

That's what we call her sometimes. The darling is quite literally, darling! A few days ago she packed up her Princess backpack with an array of outfits to take to swim lessons so she could change afterwards. So cute... until we realized upon further inspection the panties didn't make it into the backpack. I politely suggested maybe she put on the shorts instead of the skirt. The darling will not be deterred. The skirt it was. Luckily she chose the long skirt over the short one.

Other recent happenings. Yesterday I was complaining to Josh that I thought I might have TMJ (which I really do think I have) when Josh bantered, "Too Much Josh? Yah, I think you probably have that too." What a goof.

The influence of older brother and sisters has its pros and cons for the two year old in our home.

Pros:

"Mom, I lub you."

"Edie, I lub you."

"Mom, you ook bootiful!"

Cons:

"Mom, you're stupid."

"Mom, I pooomise I will!" 

"Mom, I need a dandaid for my owie."

Bum shakes

I'd love to say the pros outweigh the cons on this one, seeing as we can't exactly dispose of the offenders in this case--but you see the evidence before you.

Finding out I don't always have the time to write something cute and witty, but still want to capture the kids being cute and witty. So, here's some of the fun we've had in the last however many months, weeks, etc.

Could you be any cuter, Hazel?
