Tato's Birthday (and a few other stories)

Tato and Grandpa shared a birthday party at the park last month.



For some reason I'm unnaturally proud of this card I made for my father-in-law.

Daily Dora the Explorer.

Tato has come up with quite a few excuses for why she can't stop sucking her thumb yet. This is the best one I think.

Terry: Tato try to stop sucking your thumb ok?

Tato: But daddy, if I stop sucking my thumb then the spiders will get in my mouth. : O

Beautiful Princesses. They are obsessed with princesses of all kinds. Every day they have a new favorite.

One day Tato looked really sad so I asked her what was wrong. In the most depressed voice I've ever heard she replied, "Mommy, I wish I was a princess." Me too honey, me too.

Tato loves helping me cook. Here she is making pudding.

One day we were making cookies. I like to make her feel involved even though she can't do much yet.

Me: Ok Tato, read me the recipe. What do we put in next?

Tato: One Tablespoon.

Me: One Tablespoon of what?

Tato: Hmmm, of cookie.

And the post wouldn't be complete without an Olie story. The other day while they were brushing their teeth before bed, I ran to the kitchen real quick to get a glass of water for them. When I got back to the bathroom, Olie was dunking her toothbrush in the toilet over and over and over again. She is so mischievous. Thank goodness I had spares.
