My Superhero

It's a bird, it's a plane

My Formula

I've always had this formula in my head that goes something like this:

If the time it takes to play something is greater than the time it takes to clean it up, then I'm willing to let the kids have fun.

My formula backfired yesterday. It took a little longer to clean up than I thought!

New Room

We're decorating Lydia's room right now. I say "we" because my fabulous friend Beth is definitely the brains behind it all. I'm loving the process, and I think it looks beautiful so far. I'll post pictures once it's complete, but for now, Beth recommended that I take some fun pictures of Lydia in her room.

I tried a mini photo session with her on a whim yesterday. I didn't even brush her hair. I actually was trying to make them fuzzy which I'm not sure was the best idea. I guess it was an experiment for me to see what direction I want to head. I don't think I figured it out yet, but regardless, I think she looks awfully cute!

Haircut

Lydie had her first salon haircut last week. She thoroughly enjoyed it. She asked all day when she was going to see Miss Kara to get her "aircut at Body and Sole."


And, Ladies and Gentleman, we've got a track star in the house. I've noticed specifically in the past couple of days that Lydia's had moments where she just acts like she's three years old. She said, "Mark, Go, Ets [set]," repeatedly as she raced in a short line from our kitchen to the living room today after church. I'm excited for this next phase.
