La Principessa
Derek helped me out with getting all my zillions of pictures off the memory card and I am so thankful and happy. At first I made one giant photo album but it’s way too much.
here’s our Principessa Zöezhinna, because every child deserves 47 nicknames
In quasi-order, we’ve got the train ride on the Cresent.
I’ve made one of just Zöey in different outfits, because i’m a dork and i want to :]
And , the 1st Birthday party. Boykin spaniels in party hats are incredibly funny to me.
That’s probably plenty for now.
My solution to getting things done in a small amount of time has been to sleep less. I do not recommend that.
I’m playing with my Netflix cue. Anyone have recommendations?
Tonight I’m going to root for my peoples when they take their Taekwon Do exam. It’s really cool watching the more advanced people too. Breaking stuff. This one guy who’s going for black belt - the last exam where you have your choice of ways to break boards - he lept over five of us kneeling (curled up) to do a flying side kick. so cool
Then after that I’m going to catch a different band that Len plays in - with the two vocalists from Thievery Corporation - but don’t plan on staying out too late.
Man, it got COLD today. We might get snow. This, I’m sure, does not impress Megan. heh

your rockstar niece is adorable.
I’m glad to see that kids are still getting Pat the Bunny....everyone should have that.
zoe’s head-down, butt-up pose is actually a yoga asana called child’s pose.
I’m amazed the dogs kept the hats on.
awww child’s pose, very cool.
i was glad to see pat the bunny in there too :) she loves books. - at least, turning pages, and recognizes words. she’s so fast at learning words - and my brother is speaking to her in about 4 languages. i’m running around going “she said tree!”
I kept hearing Pat say (when she’d want to touch the trash can), “schifo, Zoey, schifo. dirty.”
she’s either going to be brilliant or very confused. All i know is, she WILL be a rock star :)oh - those dogs are the most spaztic, yet docile creatures i’ve ever known.
My first niece used to do the weirdest thing when she first started babbling. Her babbling used to sound like complete, yet inappropriate to the surrounding adult conversation, sentences. For instance, she be sitting in her car seat and we’re driving along talking and all of the sudden she say (what sounded like), The trees are green! or something similar. It was very very odd and somewhat creepy. But she turned out to be a well above average student.
My point, I forgot that. She’ll turn out to be brilliant, just as you hope she will!
heehee good to know. i’ve heard things like that - a child that won’t speak and then say something like “what happened to the green car?”
When Kelly and I were in high school we babysit toddler triplets who had there own language. The barely communicated with us until one day I was looking for tupperware in the kitchen and talking to myself, “If I were tupperware, where would I be?” All of the sudden the triplets stopped looked up and said in unison, “What tupperware?” They started searching the kitchen, looking under tables, in cabinets for “tupperware TupperWare TUPPERWARE”. Language is powerful.
the thought of Kelly influencing children is funny ;) how is she doing? i miss her.
Aw. I sound like a bitch that I’m not impressed with snow. I just lived with it all my life, so it annoys the crap out of me. It is rare(r) to get it in DC, though, right? Just so ya’ll know, I did get a pair of gloves, so I don’t have to use my crotch as a hand warmer.
I just grossed myself out, but you know what i mean. ;)
hehe Megan, I think you probably made a few guys perk up right there.
nah you don’t sound like a bitch, we know you have to deal with snow all the time, and in DC we’re lucky to get one good one a year (actually in the city limits is very rare since it’s always about 10 degrees warmer)
