K to C (who's interfering with K doing puzzles): I am NOT rewarding you for this bad behavior!

----------------

Yesterday, driving to work.

K: When is it going to be summer?
me: In June
K: That's so far away.
me: Yep, I'm ready for summer, too.
K: When it's summer, you can wear pretty dresses and tights and cute matching shoes. You don't have to wear your coat. It just hurts my back to wear this coat every day, but in summer...

Finally C has started to show an interest in music. K started dancing so early on, and C just hasn't responded much. Last night at Kindermusik, C started singing and hasn't stopped.

K has the camera and is walking around taking pictures. I think C is her assistant, because she's following her around. K just knocked on the bathroom door because it was closed. "Dad? I'm taking pictures of all the rooms in the house and I really need to get in there." "NO!"

He's no fun.

She just brought the camera over to review her photos. There are 6 photos of the closed bathroom door, and 4 pictures of "Cwaudia ransacking my room."...
