This afternoon when I was tucking Anya in for her rest time, she said to me, “Mommy, I love you more than you love me because you love me up to the moon, but I love you even higher than the moon.”
She wouldn’t let me top that with loving her to Mars or to the moon and back, and so I let her win for the moment, but let me just state for the record: Anya, you may love me higher than the moon, but I will always love YOU to infinity – and beyond. Thank you for being my sweet girl.

Every kid is different, and I know that, but sometimes it still surprises me. Â Sierra, who had been underfoot the entire time I was trying to make dinner (as she often wants to be), announced that she had to go potty again, even though I had taken her not 10 minutes before. Â Already annoyed by how much she was hindering my ability to get dinner together, I told her that I was not going to take her since she had just went. Â I insisted that she did not actually have to go and sent her to play. Â I thought she went into the playroom. Â Then a few minutes later I heard the sound of peeing and the words, “I really had to go potty.” Â I went to the bathroom to find her sitting on the toiled (with no potty seat!), having pulled down her pants, gotten a stool, and climbed on by herself. Â She was super proud of herself, especially because she was sitting right on the toilet like a big girl.
Anya never would have done that at this age (2 years and 4.5 months), so I was pretty shocked. Â I’m not comparing them, but sometimes I forget to remember that they aren’t the same kid and that I can’t have the same expectations, both in terms of things Anya did that Sierra doesn’t do and vice versa. Â I can’t wait to see what surprises Liam has in store for me!

We had a lovely BBQ at our friends’ house this evening. Â Their little girl – one of Anya’s first friends – has a really neat digital camera that Anya very much enjoyed. Â She was having a lot of fun taking pictures of the grownups, the kids, the furniture… However, my favorite moment was when she took a picture of Lex, turned to me with a big smile, and said, “Look! Â I took a picture of Daddy’s crotch!”

Apparently Lex and I enjoy the theme song from Weeds and sing it often, because tonight Sierra sang out, “Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky…”
Anya asked me a question tonight, and I told her I didn’t know the answer. Â She said, “I don’t know either. Â We can be I don’t know twins!” Â This amused me. Â A lot.
