Watch What You Say and updates from The Growler

Welp- it's official...

Piper is all ears.

After Piper demanded to play in the front yard in a snotty way:

Me:"Piper, I need you to stop being nasty when you talk to me."

Piper:"I'm not being nasty momma, I'm being assertive."

I'm sorry?

What?!?!?

I mean, I'm proud- but what????

Later Moxie and I hung on the floor and Piper ran into the kitchen saying,

" Later Loosers"

I nearly choked.

" where did you hear that Piper?"

"At the store, a boy said it at the store."

Okay then.

She went on the rest of the day asking me about what was meant re: other conversations I had had with people in her presence.

Erie, and a great reminder that she's a sponge and until she old enough to grock some of the topics it's best to keep my conversations as benign as possible. She was confused. Worried.

And in some cases? very amused.

On lighter note we've been keeping busy this week with no school.

Adventures with Mimi, epic play dates...

Our space is seeing a lot of action.

And Josh was worried the swing set wouldn't see use...

Piper is on a mission to help me introduce books to Moxie.

Oh yes, Moxie...

She started growling.

Teething has become more intense.

And at every meal she was becoming increasingly pissed off.

Lunging at us and staring at us eating.

So we gave her a couple of bites of very diluted brown rice cereal.

She loved it! Swallowed it down and seemed quite content.

We haven't done any since, but I have a feeling she'll be eating early.

Lots of outside time since the bugs have been at bay.

Welp- soak up that summer Miss P, because latest report is that Montessori school starts Sept. 2!

Looks like a lefty to me!
