Busytown

The most complicated toddler game there is. George tried not to cry when Sophie "broke the rules." Cece jumped all over the board a couple of times as well. General chaos much like Busytown itself.

Gang of five

You have no idea how long it took to get one picture where all of them were generally looking toward the camera. You have Maya, Sophie (in a doll stroller), Lulu, Georgia & Evelyn. It was the best night ever. And it ended with an epic meltdown. It was Georgia's turn, I guess!

We have a brave girl

First time at gymnastics class - [adult] hands free?!

Mommy's Headband

Sophie appropriated this from me this morning, and was so delighted with herself she repeated to herself, "EYE OUGHT MAHMEE'S ED-HAND! YOU LIE IT?"

Which is Sophian for: "I got mommy's headband - do you like it?"

I tried to get it in her native language for a video, but she's just too self-aware to let that happen on the sly.

About that hat

For weeks and weeks we've been hearing about the big paper mache project in her art class. G goes to art with the Yellow Group in her class that does - happily - include Lulu, but not - sadly - Evelyn. They have been making this mask/hat thing for at least six weeks. Finally, it came home today. She tried to get Soph to model it.

Didn't work, so then she gladly took a turn.

Not to be outdone, Soph requested "MY OWN HAT."

Cool kid.

Modern art

This came home today in Georgia's weekly folder that's usually piled high with artwork that she's made - typically pictures of herself and her "best friends," with all their names written out in a list. But I couldn't quite make this one out - so I asked her about it.


Me: What is it?

Georgia: It's a FROG!

Me: Oh! What's this part [pointing to the blue fabric]?

Georgia: That's the HAIR!

(Duh.)

A Moment of Flexibility

I need to get this down on internet...in the car on the way home from school this afternoon, I asked G if she would prefer that I pick her up at the end of the school day tomorrow, or a little later from aftercare (I'm going to do early voting in a special election tomorrow afternoon - so I can take her with me or not). Her response was kind of amazing.

Georgia: Which one?
Me: Either one, which one would you prefer? I can do either one.
Georgia: Well, I would prefer both of them. I love it when you pick me up from class and I love it when I go to aftercare, so either one is just fine and will be the best choice.
Me: Whoa.
