Kissing Prince Charming

Evelyn was in a kissing mood the other day. It looks really sweet, but when you are on the recieving end of the kiss, she squeezes your cheeks so tight and pushes her mouth so tight against yours that you can feel all her little teeth...or lack of.

Spring Fever

It's unavoidable. Spring draws near, and BAM! I want a haircut. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to grow my hair out to my waist. I've never even gotten close, and it's all Spring's fault! Usually I can convince myself to settle with just a couple inches off, but this year I really got impulsive. But what the hey, Spring is all about impulsiveness, right?
Of course, tomorrow it will snow.

Little Fix-It

It happened when I was talking on the phone with Michael. Evelyn wanted her barking puppy turned on. So I flipped the switch for her, but when she patted it's head, instead of barking and wagging it's tail, it gave this single, short, low "woof." Evelyn was disturbed and brought it back to me. Not wanting to have to change the batteries right then, I informed her that it was broken and returned to my phone call. After I finished up the conversation, I realized Evelyn was no longer in the room, so I went to find her, and I found her "fixing" the puppy.

Hairspray Popsicle Anyone?

This morning while I was getting ready for the day, Evelyn was sitting on the top of the toilet watching me. She decided she wanted to be like Mommy and primp too. So she grabbed the hairspray bottle and said: "Eya too, Mommy?" I looked at her and said, "Oh, Eya, that's hairspray. I don't think you'll like it." So she looked at the hairspray and then popped the spray nozzle in her mouth like a popsicle! Before I could hardly react, she had it back out of her mouth and was making sour faces and informing me that yes, the hairspray was definitely "Yucky!" She kept her tongue out of her mouth for about ten minutes after that.



I guess this is a lesson to me to clarify what I say to her. Instead of "You won't like it," I should say, "You wouldn't like it sprayed on you."
