P.S.

She always murders the poor little earthworms though. I probably should include that. She thinks she's being so loving to it, building it a home- drowning it and suffocating it in the process. She lovingly stretches it and twists it around her finger until it is three times its length. She sings to it and talks to it. Then after a couple days, wonders why it died...

Dog whisperer and worm lover

I love that my daughter is a true dog whisperer. She whispers things into dogs' ears. She really does. And they seem to listen...or maybe the dog treats she gives them has something to do with their listening abilities. Today at lunch she yelled out to our neighbor's dog "Watch me Jax, I'm eating tortellini!" followed by about twenty (and I'm not exaggerating) "Hi Jax" es. Ahh, I can only smile. It really is adorable.

Now she just ran in all excited - a worm dangling from her fingers. She loves earthworms. She really does. I can barely believe it, coming from the girl whose mission when she was one was to go around with Grammy and "get the bugs." I can still see her holding her little water bottle filled with water and Dawn dish soap as she walked around Grammy's house spraying box elders and asian beetles.  And she fears spiders, flies and anything else. Worms aren't true bugs anyways, are they? I'm not an expert so I wouldn't know, but they don't seem to fit into that bug category.

So unpredictable. I love that. She'll always keep you guessing. I like that.

Playing games

I'm coming to the conclusion that ... it really isn't very fun to play games with my child. I never want to win. I always want her to win. And therefore, I always know who will win. Kind of takes the excitment out of it.

Photos

I can't keep up with printing, storing or even organizing our photos. I can never get ahead. I'm always behind. I remember thinking "I'll never have stacks of unsorted photos in boxes like my mom" but alas, the same has happened to me, and worse...hundreds of pictures on our memory cards...so many that I've stopped taking pictures because I don't want to delete any more. I tried storing our pictures on Winkflash and Shutterfly but even with that, I fall behind. I'm starting to think this may be a battle I just can't win.

Time Lapse

It's been awhile! But I'm sure most of you know why...motherhood.
