Electrified!

I know there's a lesson here, but when we're at the playground, my brain just can't muster the reserves to think about electrons and static and why it makes Aurora's hair stand on end.

It's pretty cute, though.

Tiny House

Here's Aurora in a little house at Portland Nursery last week.

She loves being in a space that's just her size, and she screamed and struggled when it was time to leave.

Let's Paint!

This weekend, Aurora and I went to our friend Stephanie's house to help her paint. Aurora is surprisingly well-behaved there, probably because she has the run of the place and there's not much for her to get into.

Enter paint cans with slightly open lids, and a bored, curious baby. (See above for what happens in that scenario.) Stephanie was already planning to pull out the rug (THANK GOD!) and the paint was a reject so not too much harm was done.

After walking through the slightly mopped up paint, Aurora had some more chili and chips, played with the dog and then got bored again.

I wonder what paint looks like, she thought, dipping her head closer and closer to the paint tray.

Then it was time to go home.

A Boxy Boat for Bear

Here are Aurora and her bear, sailing the seas of blankets. Well, the bear is in the boat. Aurora is obviously floating OUTSIDE the boat. And so boredly!

Now Get Belted in, Bear

Now that the weather is better, Aurora has been going on long drives. Here she is preparing for a roadtrip with her bear.

Gimme That!

Talk to the hand, people. Aurora's busy (happily so).

Toddler Tasks

Here's Aurora last week as we drove home from Granny's house. She is intently working on putting her necklace in the measuring cup and taking it out. I told her she could sit in the front seat if she did it a thousand times before we got home. We were almost home and she was only on 27. Oh, well. Maybe next time!
