Video - Queen of the Knock-Knock Jokes

Her punchlines are a little off, but they still make me laugh!

Back from a long hiatus

I'm sorry I haven't been posting. It's the result of me working too much coupled with a camera whose flash doesn't work.

Can you believe that Margot is losing her baby face? Look at this!

Still Building Her Vocabulary

This afternoon, Margot and I ate an Asian-inspired lunch while out shopping. She had the fried rice and I had sushi. She used a spoon and I used chopsticks. But she totally cracked me up when, halfway through our meal, she offered me her spoon and asked if she could use my "pork chops."

(Well, she got the 'chop' part right!!)

Day Two Report

Margot had her second day of school today, which was a few hours longer than yesterday. All in all she did well (no crying when I left, and she went eagerly) but Marcus told me that she refused to nap and did have a minor 'missing Mommy' meltdown right around naptime.

So at least she does miss me a little bit!

But she was all smiles when I arrived to pick her up and is very excited to present Brodie with the necktie that she colored for him today (today's theme was "All About Dads"). Tomorrow is an off day, but she'll go again on Thursday.
