September 29th

Ooof! Mister, you were a trip today!  I did not have a stellar parenting day.  You must be getting teeth.   There are only like, three times that you're ever as difficult as this, and teething is the only one that really makes sense.  You're actually quite pleasant when you're sick - you've been...less than pleasant today.  That said, there were plenty of good moments as well!  They're what the pictures show.  Play-doh turtles that you said hello to and pet individually... You read while riding your horse backwards because you're just THAT good... You had a lovely walk with Grandmom, and a nap that you woke up from IN the playground!  (Brilliant way to wake up - even your lazy Mama thinks that would be a nice way to wake up) and dinner and playing at G&G's for the rest of the night.  Pasta, waterice and some more picture taking with the real camera!  The last few pictures are your latest photographic masterpieces.  While I see what you're going for ("CHEEEEESE!"), I don't know that a few more lessons with Steph would really hurt anything... I'm just saying...

September 28th - 28 months!!

Unapologetic over-picture-posting... You're making beautiful circles, and paintings...and we went out with Papa and Juli and Maya, and there's absolutely no excuse for not taking ridiculous amounts of pictures of this ridiculously attractive crew.  You had moments of loving Maya ("Baaaaaby!") and moments of being pretty jealous ("oh NOOO!").  We went to the playground a few times and left as quickly as was possible just as many times,  ate some cookies, played with Monkey...played LIKE a monkey...and then you and Maya acted out what it would be like for me to drive Juli back home.  It was a good thing that you did that, too, because I'm not sure that we would have done it quite as well had we not seen it done first.  Thank you.  

You're 28 months old!! AHHHH!
