Eyes, Off, Hot, Mama


Okay, so maybe she's not stringing them together in that order, but these are four of Estelle's favorite words right now.


"Eyes" - usually accompanied by poking her finger in my eye or her teddy's eye.


"Off" -- as a statement, usually accompanied by an earnest look and holding her bare feet in the car after she's removed her shoes and socks for the 47 billionth time; as a question ("off?") after she's ripped off another flap in her lift-the-flap books. She hasn't quite gotten that the flaps don't go back on like the socks and shoes do.


"Hot" -- sometimes a truth, sometimes a fib when she doesn't want to eat something, in which case it's usually accompanied by a tongue thrust pushing all the food out of her mouth. Also when testing the bath water.


"Mama" -- only when she's really upset or trying to get my attention while I'm driving...and sometimes when she's looking at a picture with me in it. I'll take it though.

Winter Wonderland

Holy cow, we've got a ton of snow! It's so beautiful. It's really too deep for Estelle to play in - it's pretty much up to her eyeballs. She wants to take off her mittens to grab the snow, but then cries because her fingers are cold. Darien totally digs it though.
