A New Hat

*

Remember when Royanne was a little baby

and she wore headbands and hats all the

time and when she turned 1 she decided

enough of that?

She wanted this hat but didn't want to

wear it or pose this day. We got

it for Easter, and we have to practice

and develop a relationship with the hat

in time for her to feel comfortable

with it on Easter morning! Silly, huh?

I hope it works! It worked Halloween

with the skunk costume!

She got her first big boo-boo and her first

over sized band aid.

Snack time, sharing with Elmo.

Such a good little mommie.

Partners in Assembly

The bottom guts fell out of our gas BBQue grill.

We were lost! We use it all the time! Our fairy

godmother brought us a new one and the next

day, Bruce and Royanne got after it.

Helping to push.

She was grunting!

I cut the bottom off, not apparent to me

until later, but she was trying to

assemble the support legs.

Making Toys From Anything!

Little Helper

I decided Annie needed more shelf space,

her one closet shelf and the floor underneath were

always a mess. I thought I might find something

at a used shop, but we found a very

sturdy you-make-it shelf at Target and it was pink!

It took longer than necessary, but Annie

really had a good time helping!

Here she is trying to put a screw in the

side. The little electric screwdriver is

just perfect for her.

Trying to imitate daddy.

Approaching completion.

A finishing touch?

Ta-da!

The place is a little more organized, but she

delights in throwing things on the

floor and will state:

"MESSY!"

Hat

Shirt Or No Shirt?

SHIRT OR

NO SHIRT?

(aka I'm going to invest in

stain remover stock!)

Daddy's BBQ should have been shirt-free!

Ice cream shoulda been shirt free,



....or at the very least, with a bib!

Home made mac n cheese was really

cheesy this time!

She loves cheese!

When Bruce comes home from work, Annie

goes for his shirt pocket. There she'll

find a 2 ounce portion cup of goldfish,

grape tomatoes,

bananas, pineapple, or grapes.

This night he came home with a

strawberry shake.
(not in his pocket!)

I REMEMBERED TO REMOVE

THE SHIRT!!!!

Who ever thought you'd need to go topless

to art class?

Washable markers are awesome!
