You can certainly tell that the Rock Star has an older sister, because here are her two favorite phrases. "NO! Dat MINE!" and "Mama! Sissy NO-NO! Sissy OW. MINE ball!"

Also, it's probably time to address her kleptomania. She will walk up to random strangers wherever we happen to be, grab their purse, put it over her shoulder, and run off. She also tries to take their shoes off their feet if they seem very attractive to her.

Another of my favorite things, this is fun for me trying to think up all the things that I love, and it's nice to have all positive posts for a while.

I have a variety from the past two days, some sappy, some silly.

K: well, this is C, and this is Daddy and this is me. We're pwaying on my new park that Daddy put in the back yard. (wishful...

C is ransacking K's room while she and Dad are at Kindermusik. I am enjoying some peace and quiet except knowing that my work is getting harder with every toy thrown. I just needed a little time off, so I should type quickly.

K talks ALL THE TIME, never stops. She's pretty funny at times, but sometimes the nonstop chatter wears on a person. Obviously C rarely allows herself to be set down, even at night.

K's been asking a lot about death lately, specifically questions...
