Mallory, Miscellaneous

Stuff to remember

I am worn out and thus this will be a boring post; and that means it is going to be done up bullet-style.

  • Leaving daycare today, we were already in the car – Mallory yelled “BYE AL-SON (Allison)!!!!  BYE FWENDS (friends)!!!!!  BYE DEMI!!!!!!!  BYE MEHWEEEEE (Mary)!!!!!” (Demi & Mary are two of the teachers).
  • Whenever it’s time to eat, Mallory tells me “eat time!”
  • She is still obsessed with pretending to offer us food – usually with her spoons that she grabs from the silverware drawer, but sometimes she pretends with her hands. The other night we spent about five solid minutes of her offering me “want dome?” and me naming each bite she gave me. I wish I’d had a video of me trying to come up with foods once we got to the second half of the game. That was hard! Tonight she was scooping stuff up off the floor with a spoon and offering it to us – she told us it was cake.
  • I was freezing today and since my tub upstairs is under the new scrap platform and the scrap platform is covered in crapola because of the painting we are doing, I decided to take a bath with M in the tub downstairs. Either she is getting too big or I am getting too big because it wasn’t so fun to share a tub with her anymore. Especially when she points at my breasts and says “boobies”.

Ok, not sure what else I thought I was going to write about. But here are some pictures.

You can see Mallory’s collection of about a dozen jingle bells all in one spot.

And here are some pictures of our tree using a technique called “light painting” that I just read about:

You just keep the shutter open and twirl the camera around. Cool, huh?

Man, I had a million other things to include in this post (even had a million post titles running through my head all day) and now my head is empty. That’s what I get for being good and not blogging during the work day.
