I use this same trick!
ReplyDeletethat is sooo cute! i love the quote too. i read somewhere to write down all the speech patterns your child goes through in his/her development. they really sound cute, don't they?
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Mine also love to "knit." Today my four year old took a long string of yarn, wet it under the sink for a minute (??) and rolled it up into a ball and told me she was making herself a yarn ball like mommy's. I love when they do that stuff.
ReplyDeleteAwww...Katie and I think she is darling. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Note to self...must somehow teach this inept lefty to knit, it'll keep Fiona busy!
ReplyDeleteIn other notes :) Thanks so much for your comments! So nice to hear from you~ I've only just started posting semi regularly on that blog again. And bike camps *are* really cool! G loves learning to ride with only two wheels and by the time you get to C's level, they are learning trail riding and mountain bike technique and going on 7.5-10K rides in traffic. Been so good for C's road skills and he loves mountain biking!
Steve and I laughed at your shoe shopping comments (or rather Lucy's comments!) Those words could have come out of Fiona's mouth...uncanny! (and relieving too...We're not the only ones! G was such an easygoing little guy that we weren't prepared for Miss Fiona's strong personality...even though we've seen it before in C.)
And thanks for the kick in the pants about Christmas. I love reading your plans and gift lists...I need to get my own started. I've been really focused on finding and making gifts this year too. We bought a Waldorf doll from Bamboletta for F's BD coming up and since then, I've been really aware of what my kids play with and where I want to spend my money. Plus, I want to downsize the price of Christmas for us too which I think means more mama crafted items. I spent a lot of time looking at stats on the Advent Conspiracy website and thinking over the past 6 months and I've been challenged.
Take care! Must go as F waking up :) xo
so cute!! She will be making clothes in no time ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is PRECIOUS. The shots (and the idea) - ABSOLUTELY adorable. XOXO
