AW your kid/pet/new designer successory (kidding, AF) here! (pics)
in Wedding Woes
Wolveine is a little chatterbox. We've been working on teaching her the alphabet, and she can now say "ABCDEFG" and identify a bunch of letters. She's also been learning names of a lot of different kinds of food - She and I stopped at the grocery store yesterday and had a blast in the produce section. "avocado" is her new favorite word.
She peed in the toilet for the first time this past weekend. She was pulling down her pants, so DK put her on the toilet and she went. Yay! I don't think she fully understands, but we were excited. We can't start potty training in force until she's in the older toddler room at daycare but we'll still work with her at home on weekends. Maybe when she's 2...
She's becoming quite the little swimmer.
Also, there's a video of her on FB where she points out "Daddy's Boobies". I'm looking forward to this happening in public.
so serious - watching a bird:

And...thanks! I told my chick "it's been 2 years...it's time...AGAIN".
And...love buffy and wolverine. I don't think we can compete with that.
You'll do great tonight Bmom.
I LOVE the bangs! And your makeup, O!
I'm going to AW my kid while outing myself as a bad parent. A couple of months ago, we took the light bulb out of the lamp that's connected to the light switch in DD's room. She would turn it on in the middle of the night and leave it on, even though she has a big-ass nightlight. So after asking her several times not to do that, we just took the bulb out. About 2 weeks ago, I was sitting in her bedroom reading to her, and it was kind of dark in there, so she switched on the light.
Me: "When did Daddy put your light bulb back in?"
DD: "I did it this morning."
Me: "Oh, you mean you helped Daddy do it?"
DD: "No, I did it myself."
Me: blink...blink... "Really?"
Me: "Where did you get a light bulb?"
DD: "from that lamp over there" - - points to lamp on dresser across the room.
Sure enough, that lamp is missing it's light bulb. I ask DH if he had put the bulb in and he had not.
So, yeah, my kid climbed up on a dresser, removed a light bulb from one lamp, then climbed up on a chair and put the bulb in the other lamp. We explained to her the million ways she could have become hurt from doing this, how she's not to play with lamps, electricity, etc... But damn! We were tres impressed that she did all of this on her own.
She is very mechanically inclined and has amazing dexterity. When she rode rides at the fair, her first couple times going around, she'd look at the inner workings of the ride like she was trying to take in how it all worked. And then once she was satisfied with that, she'd have fun and enjoy the ride. She is fascinated with how things work and also wants to know WHY they work that way. We think she's going to be an engineer.
AF - sounds like DD would make a great engineer.
GBCK - I had never heard of that before, but it looks awesome. I would have loved to do that when I was in school. I'm hoping Wolverine will be interested when she is old enough to participate.
Freya, our sock-loving Corgi puppy.
In my signature, I have our other babies, Zoe (the Setter) and Bellamy (the Golden).
Also, AF< that sounds just like my H. He dismantled many a thing in his toddler-hood.
The bangs are amazing.
Isn't it funny when kids hit the age where their personality becomes clear? We think Woozle will be a writer because she LOVES words, language, making up words, making up stories, telling us stories, "reading" to us, etc. She loves words the way I love Cheez-Its.
I'm trying to AW her flower girl stint, but the photographer futzed with the image files so people can't rip him off (the nerve!)--the photos on FB save as teeny-tiny. Working on a workaround.
ETA: ah, screw it
[QUOTE]Ahstillwell, I have been meaning to ask you if that was a corgi!

I've come to adore the Corgi! My boyfriend had wanted a Corgi his entire life, so I said that if he got a promotion at work, we could get a Corgi to add to our brood. We got her back in June. It just blows my mind how small she is, as I'm used to big dogs (the Setter is the first non-Golden I've had in my entire life). She's very tiny, only about 15 pounds, and our vet doesn't expect her to get above 20 pounds.
With the Golden and the Corgi, we're now able to do one of our greatest dreams: recreating Dog Fort. Freya will look rather fine in a lobster costume and we've already assured that Bellamy is comfortable in a couch fort.
ETA: And Freya is, in fact, missing an ear. It was eaten off by another dog when she was but a wee puppy.
woozle is adorable. they picked a nice dress (not like the one that HE posted on FB yesterday)
I have two large dogs. WHEE!

</div><div>I grew up with a shepard mix, so I've only ever known big dogs. My husband was the one who always wanted crogis, and now I love them. They are stinky and loud but they are ours and they love us very much. </div><div>
</div><div>Freya's a little one too! Sarge our red/white is usually about 28 pounds and bella our tri sits at about 26 pounds. Sarge is long and lean, bella is a shorter body, so a stocky build.

I have a friend whose Corgi weighs 40 frickin' pounds. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
And yes, little Freya is from a puppy mill in Kansas and when she was a newborn, she and her siblings were up against the side of the cage and a Dachshund the next cage over nommed off an ear from each of them :(.
