Just some pics

Long time no update, I know.  Have some pics from preschool.

Aunt Sarah got Gwen a new froggie towel for christmas.

The sound is very quiet on the second one, so turn up your speakers for it.

Careful? What's that?

I don't know if she will ever understand the word, quite frankly.

And yes, she's fine, she got up giggling.

Ah, the joy of being 2

This is my sweet, caring, silly child:

For some reason, she has decided that I am the best thing in the world and much of the time insists that I be the one to take care of her.  This isn't always possible and Jenni usually gets the brunt of it.  Posting by request, this is said child angry because I went to pick up pizza without her:

Perhaps a mistake on my part

Took the child to Michael's for some black Friday shopping.  (Note to self: don't do this in the future.  People be crazy.)  Gwen and I have been there once before and we determined that it is the "stuff store".  She asks me "what's that?" and the only thing I can respond with is "stuff" since I have absolutely no idea what anything is. 

Jenni went off to do her shopping so Gwen and I wandered around the store.  We ended up in the "foamies" isle.  This is random stuff made out of foam; don't ask me who comes up with these names.  In any case, she grabbed one of these so of course I had to grab one too.

I felt morally obliged to teach her how to use it (start self defense training young!), and she ended up doing this:

At this point a family squeezed through the isle and the pre-teen girl mentioned "violence sure starts early".  My only response was "Yes.  Yes it does", before describing my own sword collection to her.  She did not appear to be impressed.  Kids these days, I swear.

Jenni seemed annoyed at me once she saw the pictures for some reason.  I really don't understand that woman sometimes...

A few more pics:

The child had a hard weekend.  We were heading home from daycare to go to dinner with some coworkers when she decided that it was a GREAT time to be sick.  No change of clothes (I didn't have the full diaper bag with me) and we're still 20+ minutes from home, so it was not a happy ride for her.  All the rest of Friday night was spent repeating the performance every 30 minutes or so.

Saturday was much better, but dear LORD she was cranky.  Understandably so, of course.  Took an extra nap and ate almost nothing.

Sunday was nearly an entire day of sleep.  We did make it out to the park, but she mostly wanted me to carry her around.  Managed to eat a little bit more at least.  Poor child.

Neither of us appear to have gotten the stomach bug.  Yet.
