How to keep a baby busy so you can take a nap:

Step 1: attempt to read baby am educational book full of exotic animals and beautiful artistic illustrations. (Note: this step is optional).

Step 2 abort when baby throws book on floor for the 16th time.

Step 3: shut eyes for several seconds (note: time elapsed was not scientifically calculated and may be inaccurate)

Step 4: open eyes to find baby shredding what appears to be a harmless recycled napkin. Baby has a look of glee and happiness.

Step 5: shut eyes for brief moment (again, no outside source can confirm amount of time elapsed)

Step 6: open eyes again to discover baby has located a sticky tape variety of lint roller and is happily sticking and unsticking the shredded bits of napkin over and over again.

Step 7: consider taking video as eyes drift shut again and settle for a picture of the aftermath.

What does a chicken nugget say?

According to Gemma: quack!

She's been carrying around this guy or gal for the last few days and quacking. Or maybe she's clucking?

Monkey see, monkey do

Amelia was begging to go to the park this week. With temperatures in the 90s and a baby sister with the same personality as evil kenevil (she runs away, runs in front if swings, attempts to climb tall ladders from the top down, tries to climb up slides and eats rocks/mulch/sand), the answer had to be no.

We found a compromise with painting her toenails. She is a girly girl at heart and she jumped at the opportunity for some glamourfying. I didn't realize that when Gemma was emptying the bathroom cabinets, she was also taking notes. After every conceivable bottle was out of the cabinet, Gemma sat herself down with a Chapstick and went to work polishing her own toenails.

Monkey girl.
