PRETTY, PRETTY


You may have to wear a long sleeve shirt and pants beneath it, but yes - you can wear that sun dress in the middle of winter. Whatever you say, little girl.

I HAVE NO IDEA

I have no idea why he's making this face...

GUS LIKES BATMAN


Gus likes Batman. A lot.


He really likes this new Batman guy that Nana got him. Thanks, Nana!

MYSTERY

When we were at playschool on Wednesday, the teacher asked the kids, "Do we eat chocolate cake for breakfast?" I think she was expecting a resounding "No!" Instead, Gus stood up and said, "I eat brownies!"


We thought he was joking, but I just came across these photos. Maybe he was telling the truth! Only Poppa could be to blame.....

PIGTAILS!

She may only leave them in for 5 minutes (and I couldn't get a photo of her smiling that wasn't blurry - so you get the frown) but Nova's hair is finally long enough for pigtails! Yay!

MOMMA'S HELPERS


These two know that Poppa will let them help cook dinner, but momma is rarely so accommodating. I'm trying to let them help more often.

Here, they were helping with pizza dough. Yum! Pizza!

Cereal. No wait, burgers. No wait, hashbrowns. No wait, ANYTHING you're eating.

MOVIE NIGHT


Everybody loves movie night, especially if there's popcorn!

YAY!


Yay for new washable markers!

LOOK AT THE BABY!

The background on our computer is a rotating photo and a new one comes up every time you open the laptop. This one was on the background this morning. Look at that little baby Nova!

BLANKET = CAPE


We love make believe. And if momma still refuses to go find that batman costume, apparently he'll make one himself.

BIG GIRL BED

Gus got booted out of the crib the month before Nova was born, when he was 14 mos. I think he was still so little that the move to a big kid bed was a non-issue. For Nova, though, we've been talking a lot about taking the crib apart and moving the mattress down so she can get in and out by herself. On New Years Eve, we did exactly that.




Nova wasn't exactly sure about it.




She warmed up later, and there was much jumping and celebrating. So far she still cries when she wants to get up, she doesn't quite get that she can get in and out.


Look at my big girl!

SORRY, FOLKS

I know this little blog has been mostly about one monster recently. That's because all photos of Gus look like this:


He's almost 3. You try to convince him to stand still.
