Current Obsessions

Just a little snapshot of what she's digging these days. Crazy kid.

 

 

She remains obsessed with her yellow boots, and insists on putting them on herself. As you can see, it doesn't always go well.

Beads. Mean muggin'.

 

 

Lining up her toys. Slightly creepy? God help us if she's making an audience.

 

Reading - still, always. Note the beads. And one sock.

Pretending to go 'night night'. She finds this hilarious. Yellow boots.

 

Walking everywhere. We *almost* walked home from here.

 

Climbing/giving me a heart attack.

 

Animals. Walking. This was at Mudchute Farm again.

 

 

Since we went last, she's learned animal noises. Lots of oinking and mooing this time. She especially likes the goats for some reason. I don't know what the goat says, either.

'Helping' me cook. Singing. I give her a little dough to play with (we were making pizza), and she sings 'do, do, do, do', from the Sound of Music.

Note the yellow boots.

Hummus. In a particularly vegan moment, she decided to hell with the bread and went at it with a spoon.

Favourite Books at 16 Months

 

My kid is OBSESSED with books. It's lovely, but sometimes I start to think that I can't take another reading of Toddle Waddle without actually running mad. Our current favourites:

Toddlers

 

Sometimes I notice some small detail, like a pile of books, and it hits home how much my life has changed. No Anais Nin, no Dawkins - here we have Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes.

 

Today is my husband's birthday, and its a big one. I think he's feeling it a little more than usual this year. I don't see why - he should be proud of everything he's accomplished. I'm proud, anyway.

 

Yesterday's white bread, bad lighting:

It was a success. Next stop, sourdough!

An exceptionally lazy lunch of canned soup and grilled (Violife) cheese. I was feeling a little conflicted about serving my kid something so borderline unhealthy, but she didn't eat it anyway. The tantrum began as we left playgroup, and continued until she fell asleep. They are so cute, it's easy to forget that toddlers can be assholes challenging.
