Oh Brody! You Shouldn't Have!

Ok, perhaps a little self-indulgent.

I'll take my thanks however I can get it right now.

Lovely Locks

Sophia and I have really been enjoying our afternoons together while the young'ns are napping...



Sophia worked her magic once again!




Camera ready




Picture perfect



Ready for a date with my little man

He reeeeallly liked my hair... I'm not kidding. He wanted to eat it.

Me and my personal hair dresser

(And by the way, Sophia took a lot of these photos. Not bad for a 3 year old!)

Tea Party

Sophia pouring our "tea"

Super proud of her stellar pouring skillz

Yum!

First attempt to "smile" at Mama

Second attempt went a little better. A little.

Cheers!

A Rose By Any Other Name is a Whole New Flower

This week, Sophia is not eating very well. At all. She doesn't want anything. She is never hungry. She just won't eat. Finally, after fighting with her at every meal, I decided not to feed her anything until she told me she was hungry. It is the fourth day now, and she has eaten 3 decent meals (one per day). This morning, I decided to try something...

Her favorite show in the world right now is Ratatouille. It is about a little mouse who loves to cook. For anyone who has seen Ratatouille, you know he debuts his cooking career by making the most delicious pot of soup. Thus, soup is Sophia's favorite food in the world right now.

So back to this morning. I made a bowl of oatmeal a little extra runny, sprinkled in a little brown sugar, and offered Sophia some breakfast soup.

Whaddya know. She loved it.

I'm so HAPPY!!!

This is Why I Married Him

We went to Kara Jo and Wade's for dinner tonight (thank you KJ!), and had a great time. Here is a tidbit from the evening, when both Abby and Emily were dangling from my husband...

Abby: "You look like some movie star."
Jared: "Well don't say Brad Pitt, cuz I get that all the time."
Abby and Emily: "Pit! Pit! Ha! Pit! ARMPIT!! JARED ARMPIT!! YOU ARE JARED ARMPIT!!"

Which we called him for the rest of the night.

Pathetic

Jared and I are a pitiful pair. I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and can't hold anything heavy. Jared sprained his foot and is limping.



Did I mention that Gary got a Wii this week?
