girl time

Mama Joanna, baby Cecelia, Chloe, Zoralee, and Zoey

Notice the traveling green bowl in that series.

It is so great for Zoralee to hang with Zoey and Chloe and begin to see that other children are interested in the same toy she is, at the same time. Zoey and Chloe swap toys continually and think nothing of it. When they try that trick on Zoralee, she looks at them in disbelief and wails. She's glad for an open cup policy though - everybody drinks from whatever sippy is around.

Rachel @ Lautaret Bohemiet said...: Haha! The green bowl is what I instantly noticed too.

Man, there is so much going on in those pictures that it's hard to pick which is my favorite thing.

I love that little row of girls... a lot of estrogen and potential for drama in that group, so the sharing toys thing makes sense!; February 24, 2010 at 1:31 PM

Shels - - Sometimes I can't stand the cuteness, and it's wiggity wack to think about her growing up. But these longer nights with multiple wakeups tend to even me out. :)

Mom - - yes, that was FOX, but we were watching the President's address to the nation. This is a well-rounded group of toddlers.; February 27, 2010 at 11:47 PM

I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
