just a little comparison. I think Jennifer was a few months short of 2 in the photo, and Hazel is 2 years and 4 months. Tried to get the size close.
Hazel was saying thank you grandma and grandpa in this photo, but I didnt have enough room on my hpone to.get video. The blocks are really, really nice.
We hadn’t been talking at all today about dad/grandpa, but she just picked up this teenage mutant ninja turtle watch set, and said, very seriously "I think grandpa will like this. "
I just asked Hazel what she wanted to get Kim for her birthday. She looked serious, and said "A reindeer" Me- "really? A real one?" Hazel started laughing, "nooooo. I’m just being silly. I’m joking around." So fun to watch her personality develop.
I read about some good, easily accessible tidepools, and since we had a gorgeous sunny day with a negative tide at 1:30, decided today was a good time to check them out. Saw a lot of cool little stuff, like crabs, hermit crabs, anemone, etc.
Hazel is two, and the emotions are wild. Today, we dropped Kim at the train station, and as we drove off, Hazel started sobbing. I asked her what was wrong, and she said "I forgot to tell mommy ‘have fun at work’". Big, heaving sobs.
More pictures. Hazel loved the octopus today, and matching the butterfly dominoes. On Nov 20, 2013 12:55 PM, "Geoff Jennings" <g> wrote: It’s still early, and we’ve already used a lever to lift a truck, driven a hovercraft simulator, used lights to race solar cars,
It’s still early, and we’ve already used a lever to lift a truck, driven a hovercraft simulator, used lights to race solar cars, and raced wheels with different weight distributions down a ramp.

Hazel just said, while playing with her catapillar. "Caterpillar. I don’t like your behavior. You need a timeout. Tell me when you are a big girl. " Then she put caterpillar on the washcloth and said "stay there" while wagging her finger. Made me chuckle
When we checked into our hotel Thursday, Hazel was offered her choice of small toys. The place is owned by the guy who made his fortune with "beanie babies" and the toys were made by company. Hazel picked a little pink poodle. Nothing worth mentioning,
Today, we were driving and Hazel asked for three nuts. So I gave her three. A moment later, she says "you gave Hazel 3 nuts, but I dropped one so now I have two. " If she recounted the nuts, she did it silently. Normally
We found a bunch of sand dollars when we were kayaking the other day. Made me think of my Grandpa. He used to collect them, and make clocks from them.
