The Frog Prince

Hello everyone, this is The Blonde-headed Stepchild, AKA Allen. I'll post from time to time with some experiences I have with our beautiful little girls.

The other night Clare is giving me flack at bedtime and not laying down in her new big girl bed. It's already an hour and a half past her bedtime and I'm ready for all the little people to be asleep. So I just stand there and give her a daddy stare, you know the kind that puts the fear into all little children and they do what daddy wants? Well instead of fear Clare looks at me with fortitude and says (plain as day) "Dada, don't look at me like a frog". Needless to say I couldn't contain myself and told her she was the cutest little girl. Do you think I'm inciting this behavior?

Sailing...

We went to craft time yesterday. Imagine Clare's joy when she found out that she could make a sailboat out of that bowl she'd been carrying around ALL MORNING. That girl has some serious insight. I don't know how she knew she'd need that bowl. Damn, it made a great sailboat!  Miss Raquel takes very good care of her at craft time. She always opens an extra bag of giant gemstones for us. Cause she knows my girl likes it GAWDY.
