    Did Step 2 puke on your lawn or what? Or did the Burgh just get invaded by plastic?

    And, damn skippy! that girl is just getting even cuter, if that's possible. Where's the Dora tat?

  3. Your child has the most wonderfully expressive face!

    And frightfully strong spirit.

    She's a keeper.

  4. oops! I thought that soggy pic from the last post was her in her jammies after a bath! Guess I fogot that we're the only parents that punish our children by forcing their tight jammies on their undried bodies after a bath.

    and I was all "Near!.....FAR!!!!....Near!.....FAR!" while scrolling through the pics.

    So..uh...what time should Morgan and I be there to play?

    That child seems unhappy, miserable and in need of dry clothes.

    Please ship her to North Texas ASAP, where she will be provided with love and taught the true meaning of hockey love (Go Leafs and Sens!)

  25. quite possibly the best story I've read in a long while! Such dramatic pause. Such a climactic ending...

    I need a splash pool...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Um - you know you're guilty of doing the picture-only post in lieu of doing a "real" post, now, too, right? Indeed, you've ripped me a new one for using this same tactic.

    Though I must confess - I approve wholeheartedly of these photos.

  27. There is something special about a toddler and water isn't there? She's precious! AFF told me how great your blog was, and I must say I agree! She didn't however, tell me how adorable your little cutie pie was! Precious!

    Since I've met her once, the next time I see her I will squeeze her, but not in a bad-squeeze kind of way like my uncle squeezed Mikey that one time. That just wasn't right, but .... he ain't right, so....

    :P
