Adventures in parenting

Gave The Miss her first embroidery lesson this morning. It consisted of the very basics--holding the needle, poking it through the fabric (or temari ball, in this case) and pulling it through. Lasted about 15 minutes, then she decided she was done. But she enjoyed it, and there are pictures.

I picked a temari ball for her first stitching because that's what she sees me do most often, and I thought it would be easier for her to hold.

I've already been informed that this also counts as contributing to the deliquency of a minor.

They grow when you feed them.....

Noticed this morning that The Miss is suddebly awful close to being boob-high on me*, so I stood both children against the freeer, drew the lines, and measured them.

The Miss is now 37.5" tall, from 36" the first week of August.

The Bug is 33.25" tall, from 32" in August.


* I will admit that being boob-high on me isn't *that* tall, except we're talking about a little girl who's only been 3 for a couple months. I'm afraid that my children will overtop me before they're 10. **sigh**
