    sparklet has been going through a burst of painting activity lately — dare i say a renaissance?

    apparently our nanny-share partner (el español caliente) is still on two naps a day, which means that sparket and The Nanny have a dedicated hour and a half for arts and crafts each morning.

    our refrigerator is begging for mercy.

    maybe sparklet CAN be saved.

    groomsmaid is in town today with her son, and we spent the day at the natural history museum with her and her family.

    on the ground floor, they have one of those penny mashing machines which (for some reason) got sparklet super excited. so, we dug around in our pockets for the $1.01 needed to feed the machine, and let sparklet crank out a spider.

    son of groomsmaid saw what she had done, and walked over to her pretty excited himself — she looked at him, looked at the penny in her hand, and gave it to him — then skipped off across the lobby.

    maybe we’re finally getting away from demanding restraining orders on her playmates for daring to touch her toys…

  • pregnant — not fat

    yup, she’s pregnant.

    no, not sparklet — that’d be mommy, with the belly sticking out behind her. we’re about 13 weeks in and, if we’re honest, we haven’t been able to hide the baby in mommy’s belly since about week eight.

    sparklet doesn’t have a clue what’s in store for her quite yet, and each time mommy tries to explain the baby bump, sparklet lifts up her dress to show us that she’s got a belly, too.

    here’s the pregnancy so far:

    obviously, it’s still a bit early for a gender — that’ll come in about a month, assuming God doesn’t smite my wife for insisting that she already knows it’s going to be a girl.

  • sleepin’

    sparklet woke up from her nap today and played quietly in her bed for a few minutes.

    and by “play quietly” i mean she stripped down naked, took off her diaper, put all of her stuffed animals to sleep using her clothes (and diaper) as bed sheets, and then used HER bedsheet as their blanket.

    i wish i was making this stuff up.
