Buns
Kim put Hazels hair in a bun, then left for work. Margot was upset she didn’t get a "bun like ga-je". This was my attempt. It’s a ponytail folded in half. You know those feel good news stories about hair classes for dads? I need one.
Ponies with Poppy
Last week Margot and I met up with Poppy and my friend Ryan for a trip to ride the ponies. Fun, and it was super cute that Margot was really exited to see Poppy. "Me like Poppy. Her nice". I’m struggling to find balance as I return to the "working world". I was itching to […]

Geoff had to work so we braved going out on our own. They were very well behaved and it was so fun and sweet sharing my love of dim sum with them. They both loved xiao long bao and the shrimp flat noodles. Hazel liked the shrimp dumpling insides and Margot liked the wrapper so […]

Margot’s name
Margot didn’t think I was saying her name correctly.
Shower
"Daddy, me shower! Me wet!" Margot can get her own water from the dispenser on the fridge, so I didn’t think much when I heard it going…. then it dawned on me that it had been running far too long. Hard to tell in the photos, but her dress is soaked and there is a […]
Conversations between coconspirators
Margot: (crying because she hit a corner of the table on which a flower vase sits) Hazel: the flower hurt you Margot Margot: yeah (still crying) Hazel: Flowers, no hitting! You’re in time out. I know you’re already in time out because you’re flowers [and you live in the corner and don’t move], but you’re […]
Margot hilarity
Margot has been learning to use her voice more and more and it’s hilarious. Some examples: Margot: “I love you, Mommy. I love you, Daddy. I love you, GaJe. I love you, Me.” or Margot locks herself in her bedroom and then screams “Help, locked in Me. Mommy! GaJe! Help, locked my room! Locked in!” […]

Tantrum

Muffins
She does love, love, love to cook, and it’s great for math practice. Today I asked her "If we have 12 muffins in our tin, and 4 people in our family, how many muffins could we each have if we were sharing equally? so what is 12 divided by 4" She thought for just a […]

It had been quiet for awhile, so I went and checked on Margot. She was quietly making a mess peeling paper of crayons, one of her favorite hobbies.

Margot is extra snuggling today.
Eat cereal
Margot woke up at 5 am. Looked bleary eyed, then said "Eat cereal’. I took her to the dining room, but she cried when I turned on the lights. So she sat in the dark and ate Cheerios. After her bowl, she said, "daddy, me, bed" so I took her to bed and she moved […]
