sleep tricks

Clara's latest trick (besides sitting up, staring in awe, eating foods, and having rock star hair) has been to fall asleep in the car seat/stroller. I must say that I appreciate this trick that much more because of her, um, lack of enthusiasm for the car seat/stroller in the past. She even slept almost the entire drive down to visit Nana and Pa last weekend. (the drive back wasn't exactly as smooth, but that's okay).

[Clara sleeps on a long walk through town (4/17/08); same walk; another walk (Tilden 3/12/08); Berkeley walk again (4/17/08); in the Maryland Minivan (3/30/08); and in the rear view rear view mirror (4/16/08).]

Look! Puddle-butts!

Thanksgiving fun

"wash hands" with Nana; playing with Susan's trains with Pa; finally zonking out in the car.

the Fish on the Bus Go...

We've been singing "The Wheels on the Bus" song a lot these last few days. At first it was just about having fun with the hand motions, which Molly enjoyed. Then, we started asking Molly "what's next?". She would specify "up-down" for "the windows on the bus go up and down", and "babies" for the babies on the bus go wah-wah-wah", etc. And then she started breaking out of the mold. One of her favorite requests now is "fish", as in "the fish on the bus go splish splash splish" (or whatever we feel like making the fish do at the moment). I guess if Dr. Seuss can put three fish in a tree (fish in a tree? how can that be?) Molly can have fish on a bus, right?
