unfortunate combination

when you have an infant and you do attachment parenting, it's hard to pick things up off the floor because you are usually wearing your baby in a Bjorn or a sling. With Nutmeg, I found this frustrating because i would often drop things, or my husband would leave his dirty socks on the floor, and by the end of the day there would be a few things lying around.

Now, I have a 2-year-old who's MO is to pour, dump and throw things on the floor. She routinely cleans off her little table for a new activity by doing the arm sweep.

Something tells me I'm going to have to learn to be Zen about the huge amounts of crap now littering our floors.

On a happier note, Nutmeg is hilarious. She (and her grandparents) were very excited that there was a pinata at the last day of her art/spanish class. It happened that her grandparents had been telling her about their upcoming vacation to mexico and about how there are pinatas in Mexico.

So I asked what the pinata had been shaped like.

"Spongepop Squirtpants!"

I LOVE THIS CHILD!!!!

Filbertine, meanwhile, appears to be already smiling at us. Oh, you may doubt, but you haven't seen the look-you-right-in-the-eyes, heart-melting smile. Did I mention she has dimples? Where did she get dimples? Neither of us can figure it out.
