OVERHEARD: During Playtime

Daddy sees Georgia talking on her play cell phone.

Georgia: Hmm, yes, I was thinking about babysitting. (Pause) No, not Hannah, just you. (Long pause, then as if interrupting) I'll just explain it all to you when you come. (Long pause)

Georgia brings white beaded necklace to daddy.

Georgia: I need you to help me hook this. I'm going out on my date night, with my daddy.
Daddy: Oh, who is your daddy?
Georgia: Adrian.
Daddy: I heard you were on the phone?
Georgia: Yes, I called the babysitter for my babies.
Daddy: Who is your babysitter?
Georgia: Beyonce.

RETOLD

Georgia: Daddy, who is the best?
Daddy: What do you mean, G?
Georgia: With you and mommy, who is the best?
Daddy: Um, we're both the best.
Georgia: No. Mommy is.
Daddy: You're right, she is.

To his credit, Daddy retold this story knowing full well that I would publish it.

Also, it's worth noting that as I am typing this, Georgia is throwing a world class fit upstairs because I asked her to get out of bed and come to dinner. In other words, "the best" is a fleeting title.

Sophie and Her Sister Ham It Up

I came in from getting groceries the other Saturday morning and saw this scene. Sophie was thrilled with the newspaper. Thrilled.

Grandpa calls her smiley - wonder why?

Picture Day - PS3

Picture Day is the one day of the year when the kids at Georgia's school don't wear uniforms...a big deal.

 Here we are practicing her smile.

 The end results should be interesting...

Sophie in Extended Play

The giant beanbag is another one of those toys that Georgia had no interest in last week, but this week, now that Sophie's on the move and excited by everything she sees (everything, seriously, it's awesome to watch), Georgia is getting all territorial about the beanbag. So when G's at school...

Just Some Crazy Videos

No explanations necessary.

Tented

This is a very typical Georgia moment. Much of a mess was made, for the soul purpose of importing her favorite things from one part of the house to the other.

Not sure why she won't play with these things in their regular location, but she had a great time.
