Did you ever see the movie Parenthood? Well, our little E is the kid running around with a bucket on his head. She is quirky. Her latest move is a head stand. I don't know if she enjoys it because she can effortlessly fold in half or because she likes checking out her "cankles". She held this pose for a good 10 minutes in bed last night. Baby Yoga- she needs to center herself before she sleeps!A day in the life of E... well, it all started this morning with a pair of dad's swim goggles and mom's reading flashlight (yes, I know they have invented reading lamps). Who would have known that such a combination would help E channel Elvis. With music blasting, E had the hip swivel and the attitude. She was in the zone. A legend in her own mind. As her personal paparazzi, I snapped a picture of her doing the 'King's' signature sign off "Uh, Thank you very much".
Onto the next activity, sampling toothbrushes. With her new found mobility and elevation, E has discovered bathroom drawers. Her favorite one, the toothbrush & toothpaste drawer. She does not discriminate. She will suck on every toothbrush for a few minutes, take it on a walk around the house, and abandon it in a random location. It adds a little excitement to our bedtime routine.
Feeling freshly groomed, time for a snack. As the benefactor of G-bean's soft food diet, E was introduced to pudding. What better way to eat pudding than in the buff. Armed with spoon and bowl, E attempted to feed herself. A new skill she's hoping to add to her arsenal of tricks. We all know how it ends...pudding everywhere. Well our newly dubbed 'pudding painter' was thorough in her work AND thoroughly entertained (for an hour-woohoo!).
The rest of the day was filled with baths, naps, popsicles, and a lot of other kooky things I can't remember... unless I look at my shirt, because I usually end up wearing my day. A smudge of this, shmear of that... All good clean fun!

I have the best time reading your blog. I wish that I was as witty and clever as you in your writing. You are truly gifted. Keep it up!
Poor G-Bean tonsil-less lady! Poor mama. I've been a total wreck at Primary's for the most minor things! I love seeing P's friend (you know this summer when we go swimming at Kate's all of the time - book club style) moving and shaking it and with similar hair by the end of a meal (or 12 minutes after bathing and drying her).
Isn't that the truth. 5 minutes into the wear and a perfectly clean shirt ruined. I used to change but realized... why bother. Hope G-Bean feels better soon!
Just for the record, the same drawer in the bathroom is also Mitch's fave. He loves to hold the toothpast bottle and flip the lid up and down and we have at least four toothbrushes for him because he always has to hold it after we brush his teeth...and then of course it gets lost in the great abiss of my tiny house...kids are so funny.
Oh, we love E! J's little girlfriend! The Elvis is great. J is also into bathroom drawers. He loves make-up and toothbrushes equally. I just hate it when he tries to play with the toilet plunger.
Sounds like we have two more peas in the pod. It's good our girls have as much in common as we do or we would be in trouble. What is going to happen when they try to start fighting us for phone time? We love little E!
