Mallory was crying yesterday as I was in & out of the house unloading the car. I asked her what was the matter.
“Toopah TISSED me!!!” (Cooper kissed me)
More Jingle Words
Yes, she is pantless a lot. Partly because she sometimes likes to sit on the real potty so it makes it easier, and partly because she is two and just wants to not wear pants.
Hey Mom!! Don't leave me hanging!
Me: Can I have a kiss (before I leave for work)?
MCB: Mwah (big sloppy kiss).
MCB: HUG!!!! (she gives me a hug)

MCB: KNUCKLES!!! (we fist bump) BOOM!!!! (Mallory doesn’t do the open hand thing that goes with the “boom” yet but we are getting there.

Luckily the hospital has wireless so I grabbed their world-famous pancakes and then worked from the cafeteria for an hour.

Can you believe it?? I was SUCH a slacker mom today. We took Cooper to the woods today and brought the little sled for Mallory. At the top of the dirt road hill that we walk up, there is another PERFECT sledding hill. Rick & Mallory went down the hill a bunch of times and I got NONE of it on film. She had a TOTAL blast and kept telling daddy to do it “adain”. It’s supposed to be in the 40s and rainy tomorrow so …

The Tooth Report
Mallory officially has two of her four second-year molars. It is interesting that the ones that are in are on the left side of her mouth (Rick’s mom will be happy because she keeps trying to encourage Mallory to be left-handed…)
And in case you don’t believe me about how lopsided her tooth production is – here is photographic evidence. Notice that there are five teeth on the right (her left) side of her mouth, and only four on the other side. Isn’t it crazy how the one is in all the way and the other doesn’t even look like it’s …
