Snow day

She was skeptical at first, but they went sledding three times that day.

Chiefs' last game

They lost, but Paul won the battle to get a signal with an antennae. He bought this tv about 30 minutes before kickoff. Considering returning it. Or not.

Bedtime stories

Sylvia read this book to us last night about a million times. Sometimes she called it "Jobby the Baby Monkey," and sometimes she called it "Frog and Toad at the Zoo." Thanks, Pete and Magda, for gifting her such a versatile book! It contains multitudes.

I have no idea where she took this photo

This is what most of the photos in my phone look like lately. They are Sylvia selfies, or they are collections of photos of the corners of tables, the edge of the couch, my leg from my knee down ... Sylvia has taken over photography duties. And I would try harder to get some nice shots of her and update this blog more faithfully, but lately I have been so darn tired. Stupid first trimester. End already! 

Here is a funny bit of dialogue from this evening:

Sylvia: Will Daddy go get Sylvia's computer?

Liz: Where is Sylvia's computer?

Sylvia: Oh! At my other house. 

Liz: You have another house? Where is it?

Sylvia: Oh! Way, far away.

Liz: Who lives there?

Sylvia: Sylvia.

Liz: By yourself? 

Sylvia: Yes! And later I will watch Cinderella with Kateri. 


When I had her try to explain this to Paul later, it came out that she was referring to her cousins' house in Kansas. I'm sure you'll all be happy to know she considers it her other home!
