what, exactly, is wrong with you?

Just wanted to share a few recent photos. Don't have anything terribly insightful to go along with them, but if you are reading this, you are one of the few who don't just skip our ramblings and look at the pictures. So thanks.

Anyway, every week we bring home art projects from Yuki's daycare. They are all pretty cute in that "my daughter is a genius" way, but none of them last very long because she likes to take them apart. With that, we give you ...

ONI HAT!


One of the few art projects from school that she hasn't completely dismantled. It's her Oni Hat from the Setsubun Festival at school. "Oni" is a Japanese ogre. During Setsubun you throw beans in your house to scare the bad Oni away and welcome in the good spirits. I'm pretty sure I'm getting that wrong, so I hope you (and mostly Mimi) will forgive me. Then we move on to

HELLO KITTY SUNGLASSES!

The sunglasses make a return. These are her "Hello Kitty" shades. She likes to wear them at dinner. Whatever. She really looks like Mimi's mother in this photo. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that. Yes, there do seem to be a lot of pictures of her in her high chair. We keep the camera on the shelf next to the kitchen table. If we want to take her picture in the living room or upstairs, by the time we get the camera she's done doing whatever it was we wanted to photograph. Then she just wants to look at Camera Baby and then half the day is gone.

Also she loves, loves, LOVES her belly button. She likes to unzip her pajamas so she can get to it and poke at it. One day last week, just unzipping the pajamas wasn't enough. So she worked her way out of them completely to give us

PAJAMA HEAD!


Then we got ...

this.


I ... we ... damn. I don't know what this is. Seriously. What is that?

Okay. See you next time! Bye-bye!

She does look remarkably like Janet in that second photo. Though I remember Janet not requiring a bib.

Also, am I *total* loser for commenting on your blog so much? I think yes.

Is this where I say you are a total loser for so many other reasons? At least you didn't just write "FIRST!"

Actually, we love comments. We might be the losers (and by "we" I mean "me, not Mimi") who check the blog six times a day to see if anyone commented.
We miss Yuki! She is getting so big, and she is so very cute, as always.

Philip Are you serious? What is that? That's YOUR daughter. She gets all of her cuteness from Mimi.(and she is really cute!) All of her quirks from you! I thought you knew that!

Oh, come on you guys. She's licking the floor of course! That's what that is. It's almost as bad as finding an 8 year old sipping her bath water...well...not that my 8 year old did that last week..er..i mean, at some point in the imagined past...that she might have tested it...

dreaded doll

Yuki is now approaching the age where she is hearing at school that Santa perhaps does not exist and that things are coming from parents. This concern is also spreading to the area of the Tooth Fairy and the Switch Witch. But, Yuki still wants to believe in the magic.  So much so that while she expressed concern, she has yet to come out and ask us. So I suggested we watch Miracle on 34th Street which we did during Thanksgiving weekend and she was starry eyed. We wanted to help restore her faith in Christmas at least for one more year.  Enter: American Girl Doll Now, here is where the magic collides with reality. Yuki first  encountered  American Girl Doll in kindergarten when a few of her friends talked about theirs. When she first mentioned it I had a physical reaction to almost vomit. It was one of those "Disney Princess," "Barbie," and other things that the girls are supposed to get interested in that I dreaded. I don't have any problems with the...
