Wrook wrook whyin, daddy

someday I am going to miss Annabel's toddler diction. Her L's sound like Wr's. We passed this ornately engraved gold door on our walk this morning and she noticed a lion on a crest. she saaid "Look! Look! Lion, Daddy" but it came out like "wrook wrook, whyin, daddy". So cute.

Home again, home again Jiggity-jig

Kristin and the kids are back after 2 weeks in Iowa. It seems like its been forever. I'm so happy to see them.

We are at breakfast now and annabel is doing her strange and unique 'hodah, buddah' chant wherein she turns her head to the left and says "Hodah", then whips it around to the right and says "Buddah". I think that it's her own original expression, but I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to catch on with other two year olds at the park. It's very catchy.

She still has very strong ideas about things. When I put her down at a table in the cafe she protested: "No daddy! Go go that way", and she pointed to a different table. "Sit sit there".

This is a picture of her after re-locating to her preferred table.
