Things about us lately

  • Scarlett likes to eat her breakfast standing in her tower at the kitchen counter, while Charlie does dishes.
  • She won't sit at the dinner table for long.  She'll eat a few bites, then get up to go change a baby's diaper or find stuffed animals to put on the table.  "Watching you eat" she says.
  • Bedtime routine is the bath, then teeth brushing and a final sit on the potty.  Then I lotion her up, put on her jammies, play some 'this little piggy' with her toes, Charlie comes in and holds her while she says goodnight to all the trinkets on her shelf.  Then I get to sit with her in the comfy red chair and read books.  Her favorites lately are Frog and Toad.  I'm amazed and excited that she will sit through those books.
  • Pretend napping.  She likes to lay down on the floor and ask for more blankets- more, more, more- until she is under this huge pile of 15 blankets.

  • Fires.  She loves to have Charlie make a fire during the day and sit on the couch next to it, flipping through books. 

  • Headbands are IN at our house.  I think it's because Hope wears them.  Before Scarlett noticed Hope in a headband, she wanted nothing to do with them.
  • She calls the climbing board at the park 'tater tot'.  She calls Peek A Boo 'Winnie The Pooh'.  
  • She is almost two years old.
