Wow…three posts in one day
I know I’ve posted a similar picture, but these pictures have corresponding video. Mallory tossed her big Easter ball into the bathtub and went in headfirst to try to get it out:
And here is the best part…watch her head when I ask her if she needs help:
Big shoes
Mallory is obsessed with shoes. I think most kids go through this phase so it’s nothing unique to our pumpkin-head but I still find it hysterical to see her constantly want to put shoes on, especially when they are her little flip-flops that we need to jam over her fat little feet and only stay on for about three steps before she steps out of them. So I guess she thought she’d try a bigger pair of flip-flops:

We had an incident on the escalator at my work yesterday in her old pedipeds and they got a little chewed …
Cooper & his friends
We went to watch the Michigan hockey game at a friend’s house Friday night and Cooper got to see three of his best friends – CJ, Fenway & Lexie. They all got a Frosty Paw treat during intermission.
Lexie, Cooper, Fenway, Lexie’s neighbor Ruby, and CJ
The best part is that Cooper is EXHAUSTED when we come home and usually sleeps in a little bit in the morning :-)
Steal from the rich…give to the poor
Punky-Poo-Loo has a new nickname: Robin Hood. She will go into the coin jar in our closet, grab as many coins as she can (somehow it ends up being mostly quarters?) and will then go down to her room to put the coins in her piggy bank. She probably “makes” about a dollar a day. Smart girl.

Ok – I love snow. Really, I really do. But for crying out loud – can it stop? We are supposed to get 1-4 inches tonight. I am done-done-done with the snow.

I big-fat-puffy-heart it when my kid goes …

Notice Mallory’s boo-boo from her wipe-out in Gigi’s driveway on Easter. Poor kid has more scars…
Kisses & hugs for dad & mom
Knuckles – Biggie taught Mallory how to “punch it out”. She is now completely obsessed with giving knuckles to everyone – including the dog.
And a final funny picture:
"It's all her fault"
Mals goes to Uncle Mikey & Auntie Em’s on Wednesday.
I set her Princess boots out for Rick to take today so she could play outside with Lauren.
My sister said that no Princess boots arrived with Mallory today, so I asked Rick about them. His response?
“Ooops. I forgot. But it’s all Mallory’s fault because she moved them from the door to the kitchen when I was making my smoothie.”
For some reason I laughed out loud that he is blaming this on her.
MORE-PLEASE-EAT
Last night after we cleaned up after dinner, I cut myself a piece of Turtle Pie (leftover dessert from Easter dinner). I asked Mallory if she wanted some…we got her into her booster and she started pointing & grunting. I told her to use her words and tell mama what she wanted.
In rapid fire succession she signed “MORE-PLEASE-EAT”.
‘Atta girl.
Proof
Just in case anyone doubted that Mallory was on TV this week…here she is over Hitchcock’s right shoulder. :-)
Happy Easter!
I was so excited about Easter – because it was the first time Mallory could really get into the holiday (sure she went trick-or-treating but she didn’t understand the whole get dressed up, go up to the door, ring the bell, say “trick or treat” thing).
We dyed Easter eggs yesterday without much of a mess, and whatever dye Mallory splashed on herself she just licked off her fingers. Nice.
The Easter Bunny came and hid exactly 25 eggs; we asked him to only hide plastic eggs because otherwise Cooper would eat them…plus then if Mallory missed …
