Okay, so I love this new website thing I have going on. I know full on that I am a dork, geek, nerd, whatever you want to call me. Bring it.

Rick is busy with football camps so I am on Mallory duty all day everyday this week. We had killer shrimp for dinner – YUM! Well, I had killer shrimp and Mallory had a boca burger and two bites of my shrimp. Luckily she only wanted two bites – the way that kid eats I could have been left with the dipping sauce for dinner. I can only …

Boat Trip – Yaya style
First – to give everyone an update on the “media guide photo shoot” from yesterday; I guess only the coaches’ family pictures will be in the media guide. Everyone else will just have their family picture up in Schembechler Hall. So I got myself all worked up about this for no reason. Oh, and Mallory didn’t smile in ANY of the pictures – she had the deer in the headlights look in every single picture. That was way cool.
BUT – the highlight of the photo shoot trip to Gaga’s work is that Mallory gave both Rich Rodriguez and his wife …
Bite Mama
Here is a picture of the welts Mallory gets from bugs or spiders or something. I don’t notice them on her before I take her to school, so I’m guessing she is getting at least some of them at school. Great. Poor kid. They don’t bother her much but sometimes she itches them and then when they are healing we put neosporin on them to help them heal. Any advice from other moms out there would be appreciated.

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Rick has completely vetoed option #1/A, wouldn’t even let me get it out of her closet this morning to bring as a possible based on my very scientific vote I am running via this blog.
UPDATED TO ADD: Said media guide picture will be in black and white…
Which outfit should Mallory wear tomorrow for a family picture that might go into a media guide for my husband’s work? We were instructed to wear “country club casual. I will probably wear a khaki skirt and a button down shirt, Rick will probably wear khaki shorts and a blue …
Lots of Stuff
First off – Mallory is a STINKER. Lately, when I ask for a kiss and I lean in – she leans in too and then at the last second, turns her cheek so I give her a kiss on the cheek. This quickly turned into a game – what a little brat!

New words – bubbles and bite. Bite can mean she wants a bite of our food or she may be pointing to one of her many bug bites. Also boo-boo – where she points at one of her big welts that then got gooey and we have …
Bug bites + topple down the stairs = cro-magnon forehead
Holy huge! Mallory always gets some big welts and bumps from all bug bites she gets, but yesterday she got tagged by a swarm of something on her forehead and that sort of swelled up. Then today she fell down the concrete steps at the football building and got a scratch on her bug bites.
Her forehead is so puffy – poor kid. At least she isn’t scratching the bug bites anymore though.

Mallory started a craze
All of the daycare ladies think it’s so hysterical that Mallory gives everyone knuckles. And because Mallory likes to give everyone knuckles – including the kids who have no idea why she is offering her fist to them – the toddler room teacher started teaching all the kids to give knuckles.
This pisses me off a little bit. It won’t be so funny when Mallory does it if all the kids at school are doing it.
