It's True

While I was potty training Hannah and she had peed, once again, on the floor, I gave her yet another lecture. I was asking rhetorical questions while Abby answered them in an authoritative voice.
"Are you supposed to pee-pee in your pants?"
"No!" Abby said.
"Where are you supposed to go potty?"
"In the potty!"
"Does Daddy pee his pants?"
"No!"
"Does Abby make pee-pee in her pants?"
"No!"
"Does Mommy pee her pants?"
Pause.
"Sometimes you do, Mommy." Abby said.

Nap Time Take Two

Hannah has a new nap time routine. On the day that this photo was taken, she had unplugged and dismembered her humidifier, unplugged and disassembled the nightlight, unscrewed her water cup and poured it on her bed, found an old juice cup and poured that on her bed, and then decided to tackle the dresser top. This photo is not staged. She was so involved in her adventure, she didn't hear me come in. I ran off to get the camera and after I had taken the picture, she turned slowly to me. "Mom," she said, "I'm stuck."



Frosty

When Abby is at school, Hannah tends to get a bit lonely. She has befriended a snowman named Frosty. Some days, they eat together (yes, I serve him food and clear away his plates when he's done), and play together. Here is a picture of them watching TV together. Luckily they like the same shows.

Abby the Artist

Abby loves the camera. Most of her pictures are of shoes and carpet, but occasionally, they turn out quite sweet. She caught Hannah making a mess of Abby's room and Mommy in her comfy clothes.

Congratulations, Hannah, you win. This time.

Daddy

During Hannah's nap time, Abby goes in our room to watch a movie. This is to make sure that I get my quiet time. I know she goofs around in there and I really don't care. I figure an hour of quiet time is worth cleaning up most any mess. On this particular day, she decided to dress up as Daddy. The girls both adore their Daddy. Is it any wonder why? He doubles as a playground! How convenient.
