Grabbing things


Big Bird flew into our yard with Elmo in his talons, and together they performed an alphabet rap for Lyla. I didn't witness it firsthand, but it's the most logical explanation for that face.

Yesterday evening the young lady fell apart quicker than a McMansion's drywall. We put her to bed at 6:00 PM, and she woke up 12 hours and 40 minutes later.

I think she spent that time growing two or three inches. This evening she grabbed a cooling mini-waffle off the kitchen counter, previously unexplored territory, and began to eat it nonchalantly. "Lyla!" I said. "Grabbing things off the counter is a big no-no."

"Whatever dude," her eyes seemed to say as she stuffed the rest of it into her mouth.

Time to be more careful about where we leave knives.
