I have trouble getting good pictures of her because she usually lunges forward and wants to look at the picture on my phone before I've finished taking it, so I get big chunks of nose and forehead, or else her eyes are closed. This one turned out really well though, finally!
She's not one of my more adventurous eaters. This was Green Eggs and Ham day. Note the clean spoon and untouched food. Milk maid at work. She'd probably drink a gallon a day if I let her!
The story of this picture makes me laugh- she was fixing breakfast with various plastic peppers and asked Mater to come sit down by her. He did. And then she gave me this look, like "you see what I have to work with here?" I'm not sure if she thought he should sit in a different place or what, but he did exactly what she asked and then it made her mad.
This one happened this morning- it's not really a great picture of her, although it's more representative of the type of shots I generally get. She was engineering a "let's hide from Kelli" game and had everybody bring the chairs in. They were all lining them up in a row and then they stood behind them. They didn't sit or crouch or anything. But their legs were behind chairs and I guess that meant I wasn't supposed to see them at all.
Then they yelled, "We hiding!!" at me for about ten minutes while they laughed.
She likes to be the queen bee, but if somebody else comes up with an idea, she's a good team player too. I think she has a good balance there. She plays really well with Girl Friday, who is about four months older and is getting into actual play with friends, rather than just the parallel play that a lot of the kids here do. She's going to have an amazing time when she gets to her new school and is one of the younger ones- she'll have no trouble keeping up with the older kids and will LOVE all the new stuff she gets to do. I'm excited for her!!
