For Posterity

I've been storing some of these up for awhile, so here goes, starting with the most recent:

At bedtime, me: "I love you, Silas"
Silas: "I love Momma, and Ta-ta, and Daddy, and Zoe"
Bless this child's heart, this is where bedtime prayers originate.

On skype, with my parents, after finishing a big bowl of rice and beans
Silas: "I want something else".
Grandma: "Silas, do you have a hole in your tummy?"
Silas, after giving the question some thought: "Noooo, I just have a belly button".

After starting food bribery on Friday for potty training, Silas calls m&m's, "m's-m's".

Both kids are obsessed with using hand sanitizer, and Zoe calls it "hanitizer". Now we all call it hanitizer, and frankly, I think the product should be re-named.

When Zoe started going pee-pee on the potty a few months ago, whenever she would sit down to go but couldn't she would say "it's broken" or "not working" very matter-of-factly and then hop down.

When Silas would get stuck between two pieces of furniture he would yell out, "I'm sticky!" (instead of "I'm stuck").

When Zoe would get some kind of minor injury she would make a big production of standing up and reassuring everyone, "I'm okay, I'm okay", very dramatically.

For awhile Silas referred to toenails as "feet nails". This is not a name change I endorse - it's disgusting.

Zoe's insistence on doing everything herself started with "Zoe do it, do it all by self!". This has turned into a shrieking rant, "I DO IT, I DO IT, I DO IT!".

Silas, on the other hand, says in the cutest little voice, "Help! Help me! Momma do it.".

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
