leaving on a jet plane

really don't know when i'll be back again

hotel living (ca)

last apartment days. please excuse the quality on some of these pictures... iPhone & all.

extended stay hotel living has been quite nice. we've had some colds which is never awesome but i think we're at the tail end now & with no deep cleaning & half the cooking, etc we've had a lot of play time! yay!

one more week in cali then across the country we go!

water & rocks

so this is probably a crude thing to write about but water & rocks have become quite common words over at our house.

i am stupid & embarrassed & find certain potty language inappropriate which leaves miss ellery to coin her own terms for things that her vague mother won't discuss.

so in lieu of #1 & #2  it's "water" & "rocks".

will this completely mess her up when she asks more about the giant rock boulders out front that she loves to sit on? whose rocks are those?!

i will say it makes me laugh when she comes barreling into the room: "i potty! rrrrrrocks!"
