Milk Moustache

 

Grandma stocks half-n-half instead of milk, which Elizabeth not surprisingly really enjoys.

He Who Shall Not Be Named

 

Barb was doing her banking online with Elizabeth on her lap and after the work was completed she decided, what the hey, let's check out Sesame Street's website. The first thing that popped up was an Elmo video, and Elizabeth was mesmerized. It was her first taste of children's programming, and apparently the highly-paid experts who make that stuff really know what they're doing.

Sleepy Dada, Wakeful Baby

 

Elizabeth needs no coffee. She awakens bright-eyed, happy and energetic. She likes being a part of my morning coffee-making ritual. Especially the part where she gets to wear a filter for a hat.

Strolling

 

Elizabeth loves the umbrella stroller Barb bought. She puts her dolls and her doll-like friend Lily in it and strolls them around the house.

King and Princess

 

Barb made us crowns. Crowns are awesome.

Oktoberfest

 

Billi and Elizabeth

 

We babysat Billi Francis recently while Jen and Joshi went off to Disney On Ice or some such (it involved, according to Joshi, a princess on ice skates receiving a block of solid gold at the end). Billi and Elizabeth are very nearly the same age, and they get on well. We took Billi on a bike ride to the park, where she and Elizabeth rode this spring-horse together. The time passed quickly and we all look forward to the next time Billi comes by. She's fun.
