toothy grins on the way, chores to get to Sesame Street

or toothier I should say. Willa Ann is currently sprouting four more teeth to add to her current four little mouse teeth. She's growing up so fast!
This morning I was blow drying my hair. Instead of playing with whatever she can grab as per usual, Little Miss went and opened a drawer, got out a hair brush and started to brush her own wispy cap. She seriously melts my heart constantly.

Charlie Mac is learning to do chores, or "choys" as he calls them. He gets to watch Sesame Street if he completes his tasks of the day. He "sweeps" or helps take out the compost or something like that. Until today he's been excited and proud - and maybe we didn't give him enough time after he woke up (he slept later than usual and we were headed out the door), but he said simply "no" when I told him he could sweep today. Ha! Hopefully he did it after all. Little man.

Oh mis bebes!!!

little working man

Charlie Mac has informed us of several "jobs" he's had over the last few months. Of particular note is "watching TV." It seems as though his career has taken a turn towards the philanthropic however, and his new post is "Protecting Baby Sister."

I know, I'm melting too. :-)

Willa Ann in the morning

Willa Ann comes into bed with us still at some point in the night. Usually around 1 or 2 - which is fine. When it's midnight or 3, it's usually a bit of a job - but at 2 it's OK. She's like a clock when it comes time to her breakfast though - and that's 5 a.m. I usually wrestle/nurse her for about an hour before she reaches the point of no return and at that point she's kind enough to let us know it's time to give up and get up by kissing our faces. So sweeeeet! Makes up for the fact that I haven't slept more than 2-4 hours in a row for four years now.
