Silly Dinner Time Antics

Drinking out of her new cup

And today was Sunday again.

I stayed home again for most of the day, while Sarah brought M out to meet some friends on a play date we had arranged last weekend.

I'm not sure where SAM gets the energy to take care of a sick husband all weekend on top of caring for a fifteen month old daughter and maintaining a full social schedule. I'm fairly sure I married some sort of super-woman.

She loves it!

While M and SAM were out this morning, they went to California Pizza Kitchen where the best thing to come out of it was the disposable soda cup (SAM didn't let M drink the soda) which was brought home.

It was the source of much fun during dinner tonight once her milk was placed in it.


One handed requires a bit more concentration

After her fun with the milk was finished (once she had enough milk), M decided it would be fun to try to put her bowl on top of her head.

As you can see, she absolutely loved it.

She even knew to hold still while it was on top of her head in order to keep it there, and she had the biggest smiles on her face afterwards when I showed her the photos off the back of my camera.

Did she join the Shriners?

Margaret is turning into an absolute cut-up, which is hilarious but also very interesting. I find the fact that she is now aware that she can affect other people by how she acts is both a little bit sad, due to the innocence lost, but also extremely cool because it means that we can start teaching her about how her behavior affects others, and hopefully get her trained up to be a good person who thinks about her actions.

In the meantime, though, it's incredibly joyous just to be able to have a good laugh as a family.


No, it's just your every day dinner bowl being worn as a hat

Has the familiar high chair been relegated to the corner? This seems like a big step to have M. in a chair at the table! Great photos. Won't be long until she IS drinking soda from a straw! and fries and a burger.....

Priceless! I thought my favorite would be the first one, but that's debatable now that I've seen the bowl on top of the head ones! Those had us both laughing- even the sickie.

Wow...sharp eyes on the chair detail, Barb! There must be a booster seat of some sort in use, yes? M may never want to go back now that she's "tasted" the full experienced of the grown-up table!
So cute! Thanks John. Hope you're feeling better from your quiet time. XXOO

It sounds as though everybody is getting back to their old selves, led by the Devine Miss M who is continuing to set the bar higher and higher.
