Boots 'n Bubbles

Caroline loves shoes. Every morning it's a hide-and-go-seek hunt for my shoes because Caroline likes to go in my closet, try on several pairs, and clomp around the house with a satisfied grin on her face. That's often accompanied by "I did it!" We hear that a lot these days, and I try to encourage it, something about building your child's self-confidence blah blah blah psychobabble.

Anyway, she recently discovered her true Texas roots.



Although, it can be a bit hard to walk in boots that are 10 sizes too big for you.


Now for the bubbles part of this post ... we love blowing bubbles. Caroline used to like to watch me blow them, but now she has to be the one blowing. She can't quite get the idea of holding the wand out a bit from her lips, though; she always sticks it right on her mouth and then the film of soap breaks, of course, eventually frustrating her enough that she hands it to me ... I demonstrate proper bubble-blowing technique ... she takes it away and promptly sticks the wand on her lips again ... she gets frustrated and hands it to me ... repeat ad nauseum.

Out For a Walk

There's no real point to this post, just a shameless picture display. Caroline & I went out after supper last Friday to see what treasures we could find to bring home. We ended up with 2 leaves, a rock, and a roly-poly. We also met another little girl about Caroline's age being pulled in a wagon by her dad. It was nice to meet another little kid in the neighborhood, although who knows when we'll see them again.




It's often hard to get a close-up picture of Caroline because she always tries to grab for the camera ("My cam'ra!") Her face is so expressive and I think she's so cute when she furrows those eyebrows.



Life Is Sweet

Ahhh, one of life's greatest milestones: First time to lick the beaters.

Obviously, Caroline picked up on the concept: neatness goes out the window if you want to get the full experience of licking the beaters (and get all the batter off)

I think this one was a hit! Daddy was outside for this one ... next time might pose a problem if he's around -- there are 3 of us and only 2 beaters. Maybe he can lick the bowl instead.

Easter!

OK finally with the Easter pictures ... I had some Blogger technical difficulties. Anyway, this year was colllllld ... good thing Caroline's dress had a cute little matching jacket!

Getting ready for the hunt.

First Easter egg hunt!






The Borings, saying cheese.
