She'll Do Great in the Vocabulary Part of her SATs

Not too long ago I'm sitting where one does in the bathroom and Bette Annie comes barelling in.  She's squealing and puts her hands over her eyes.  I ask what she's doing and she replies "I'm hiding from Momma, if I do this she won't recognize me!"

Recognize?  Really?  She's two!

Two-Year-Olds Get Cabin Fever

Even before the Blizzard of 2010, Bette Annie has been showing signs of cracking under the strain of cold-weather cabin fever.  It's hard enough when you understand seasons and weather, but when you don't, it must be particularly frustrating.  

A few weeks ago she got into a conversation with her mother and started ticking off things (like she does):

• Get your bathing suit on.
• Find my bathing suit.
• Get my pail and shovel.
• Call Grandma and tell her to take us to the beach!
