Deep Thoughts

Violet had a bad day yesterday, full of bad behaviour and it's consequences. In the afternoon, she and I were snuggling on the couch and I asked her if she felt sad that I had been so angry with her.
"No, I'm happy. I'm just quiet because I'm thinking about something".
"What are you thinking about?"
"Things I would like to eat".

Violetisms

This morning she crawled into bed with us, leaned over Jesse's face and said "Hey little fella, your eyes are still closed, eh?"

This evening, Violet was being so sweet that I had to tell her I loved her.
She thought for a moment, then said "I love everybody. Grandpa, Oma, Jem...and Elsa".
No mention of her parents.

In rare instances, when the stars a aligned, I will allow a picture of me to be taken.

Teeth

Violet has 20 teeth!
It was her first visit to the dentist, and she did very well.
Checking out the hygienist.
Outfitted with a bib and sunglasses (to protect her eyes from the glare of the light).
Trying not to squirm.Voila! Clean teeth and beaming parents.
After her cleaning she was offered a prize bucket full of goodies and chose a temporary tattoo.

Jem is in full crawling mode now. He's been trying to pull himself up to standing, despite not being able to stand yet - hence the bruised face. At 7 months, he's already got into more things then Violet ever did.


7 teeth on my smiling boy!

Some Oatsa

Violet kept asking "can I have some oatsa?" over and over again a few days ago. I finally clued in that she was asking for a samosa.
