Jailbreak
Jellybean is on the move.
She took 5 steps last weekend. In a row!
Pretty soon? She's going to make a break from jail.
(seriously, I snapped this photo through the door at her montessori school - that's her all in red. Doesn't it look like she's about to make a run for it? She and her fellow inmate are comparing plans, deciding who's going to distract the warden.....
And, on an unrelated note, I have come up with a new nickname for Jellybean:
She's now the "Mighty Mouse." I came up with this last night, in the middle of the night, when I was wrestling her out of a poopy pair of pjs. Man, is she STRONG!

When she's 13, I may regret raising such a confident child
So, clothing. Clothing has become the bane of my existence in the mornings.
Why you ask? Because it is taking, on average, 45 (FORTY-FIVE!!) minutes each morning to get Monkey dressed for school.
I think we're going to a new system - picking outfits out the night before. Maybe I'll even send her to bed in her outfit. Something's gotta give.
It just takes waaaaay too long in the morning, with debates and discussions about the socks, the shoes, the pants, the dress NO the shirt no not THAT shirt, the sweatshirt NO NO NO the coat NO WAIT the sweatshirt, the hairclip NO NO NO the headband no NOTHING at all...and it NEEDS to MATCH!!!
ARGH!!!!!!!
Guess that's to be expected from a kid that likes clothing, likes to match, and has a tremendous amount of confidence.
I may want to pull my hair out but I'm raising a confident daughter!
Something tells me I'll suffer a few twinges of regret when she's a headstrong teenager....

The rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated
So, yes, we're all still here.
And still doing well, considering.......that in the last two weeks we've had:
4 colds
3 cases of pinkeye (sorry, Grandma!)
1 ear infection
1 (stomach, not swine) flu
1 "really bad throat" (likely strep)
............and a partridge in a pear tree. ha!
