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.

Friday Miscellany
Just some stuff I need to get on paper before I forget.
Mals & I were walking Cooper down the street the other day and came upon a family of geese. Mallory thinks all flying animals are ducks so I asked her if she saw the mama duck…”MAMA GUCK!”. Do you see a daddy duck? “GAGA GUCK!!”. Do you see a baby duck? “BABY GUCK!!!”

Report Card
How happy was I to get this daily report from Mallory’s daycare Friday? See what it says in the lower right corner?
Apparently the daycare lady was holding the baby and Mallory held the bottle for the little boy while he ate. I am so glad she is over her hair-pulling and hitting stage. :-) The daycare ladies say Mallory LOVES to help with the babies in the infant room. She will go give the babies their blankies and pacifiers, and will push the swing or the bouncy-seat to help soothe the babies.
