Life is unfair

Margot and I are discussing her wish to be older than Hazel. She thinks it’s not fair Hazel always gets to be older. It’s not going well.

Mommy and mornings

Margot is very much a "Mommy’s girl". Kim is leaving for work early these days, and that frequently means Margot misses Kim in the morning, and Margot has a hard time with that, and cries for Mommy. Today, Hazel drew a picture for Margot to help her feel better. Hazel said the picture was "Mommy […]

Margot’s smile

Margot has a wonderful smile when she’s happy. The way to see it to make a joke or do something silly make her laugh. The way NOT to see it is to say "Smile!" or "Cheese!" lol

Alexa

Margot and Hazel are playing "Alexa"Margot says "Alexa, please play 5 little monkeys" Hazel says " I found 5 Little monkeys by Mother good club" and then sings the song.

Birthday party

We’re at a birthday party at kids gym. Margot doesn’t want to play, but is very happy with the Mac and cheese and watching.

Strawberries

Kim bought two white strawberry plants to add to the strawberry wall. They are small, but delicious. I’ve got a few empty spots on the wall, I might need to find a few more of these plants. Only issue now is Margot wants to pick all the unripe red strawberries that look similar. (Pictured are […]

Poop

Margot just pooped, two poops, a bigger and smaller. She said " ooooh, two poops. One Hazel poop and one Margot poop. "

Garden

Hazel has been asking for her own little plot in the garden, so today we set up an area. Unlike me, she chose all ornamental plants, flowers and succulents. Margot picked a few too.

Homework

When Hazel does homework, Margot wants to as well.

Morning

Hazel woke up early, so we took the MG for a spin… Stopped at Starbucks. After we dropped Hazel off at school, Margot and I had an awesome time playing at the park for an hour. Now, work….

Mermaid

Margot was gifted a really cute blanket/bag that is a mermaid tail. She was just squirming all over the floor saying "I’m a mermaid. I swim".

Cheddar

Margot loves cheese. Loves it. Last night I gave her a piece of proper English cheddar, and a piece of "orange cheese" as she calls it, just regular American cheddar. Pleased to say she her favorite was the English Cheddar.

Conversations with Margot

Margot: "Hazel, can you please use your superpowers and make the sun go away." Hazel: "Ok." (moves her arms around, and the car I’m driving goes into a shady portion of the road) "Done." Margot: "You are the best Mommy ever." Margot: (playing on the pretend phone) "Hi Daddy, What you doing? How you is? […]

Chatterbox

Margot has been talking non stop today. 3 people commented on how talkative she is.

Baby doll

Margot has been potty training for awhile, but kept asking for diapers. I knew she could do it, but just didn’t want it. So I bribed her. I told her if she went 7 days wearing underwear without accidents, she’d get a toy. Each day we’d move a magnet on the fridge and celebrate. Then […]

Today is a beautiful day

We hung out, read books, played, and went to Kidspace. Margot plays really well on her own and I join her now and then between laundry and packing for our trip for some fun with blocks, legislation, and dancing to Gin Blossoms. She is my favorite Margot in the whole world.

Frogs can’t clean.

Me: Margot, you can have string cheese when you help Hazel clean up the Play-Doh. M: I can’t…. (Wailing). I can’t! Me: why not? M: me a Froggy. Froggies don’t have hands! (Wailing continues)

Snuggle bunny

My little snuggle bunny. For a while Margot was super, super into Kim, and would say things like "Me not like Daddy, me want mommy". I know it’s normal and usual for kids to go through stages like that, but I had a hard time with it. Thankfully, she’s out grown that and now she’s […]

Fun in the snow

I had a great time playing in the snow, making Olaf, sledding, and walking around and exploring Durango with the family. New Years Eve was topped off by watching Hazel conquer her movie fears by watching Horton Hears a Who, and watching Margot run around the room and play.

Lids

Margot and I are out and about today. Since I let Hazel have a "Anything you want " treat at Starbucks the other day, I made the same offer to Margot. She chose the organic fruit squeeze pouch. I asked her why she chose that. "It have lid. Me like lids" She’s been taking a […]

Passion Fruit

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person as enthusiastic about passion fruit as Margot, especially for a toddler.

Sleepy mornings

Margot likes her cheek on my skin. Skin to skin is still nice, even when she has outgrown the newborn stage.
