Monday baby blogging: Umbrella!

Posted by Ampersand | March 13th, 2006

Sydney with an umbrella

Continuing with last week’s “rain accessories” theme…

Sydney with an umbrella

Sydney startled me this week - I asked her to smile for a photo, not especially expecting her to understand what I wanted. She turned to me with this big fake grin and said “cheeeeeese!” When did she learn that? I suspect her grandmother taught her. The speed at which she picks up new bits of knowledge is amazing.

Also please note that she’s wearing clothes this week (for a change). It’s only because she can’t undo the top of this dress without help; any item of clothing she can take off herself winds up decorating the floor pretty quickly.

I don’t know why we bother buying toys - like many kids, Sydney usually has more fun playing with anything but. She’s reaching a stage where the more we don’t want her playing with something, the more appealing that thing is to her.

(Oh, wait - I know why we buy toys! It’s so there’s stuff we won’t miss much when Sydney breaks it!)

    Hah. No. I just spent two hours going through her room just to bring it into a state of compliance with the Geneva Convention, to say nothing of human decency. Last thing she needs is more toys.

    Besides, she already has one. ;P
