mrs f--it seems like only yesterday she was a babe crawling around on my not-so-clean floor and now she's climbing on unsteady chairs and helping herself to lollipops (not the saf-t-pops variety, mind you).
talk about an ideal childhood!

What can you say, really? It's adorable. Like when my daughter swears and I laugh. I know I should be saying, "no, no", but I can't help it.

Well, at least it was an accident that she had that candy. Yesterday I took Eden with me while I had my hair cut by a really cool lady (with short hot pink hair and super modern house she built and that Dwell wants to put in their mag.) Anyways....so to keep Eden happy I brought her a twix bar. She was happy until it was gone...he he he. But, she knows exactly which cupboard has the tub of candy, and she gets some...daily
