I learned a glorious thing on Easter!

That Eowyn's hair is finally long enough for ponytails!!

When I put them up yesterday, for the first time, she was quite displeased with the experience, until we showed her the mirror...can you tell she felt a bit sassy with her her style.

When we were showing her the reflection, she scrutinized her face and then said "Josie", followed shortly by "Carrigain"...the names of her two little friends who have had enough hair for styling for quite a while. I think it's funny that even at this young age, of not quite 20 months, she is taking notice what her friends are doing with their hair. The Psych major in me has been trying to process that information, and am not sure what I've decided.

First Time Coloring Easter Eggs!

What she had to say about the experience.

“orange” “Baby Do it” “Water please” “More water please” “Drawing done, Water please”

She liked dunking much more then drawing, and she would have dyed them all Orange if Grammy let her. But, as long as there was “water” to dunk it in, she really was easily swayed by the color of the water.

Baby Bug

Grammy O bought Ewoyn a Lady Bug Costume sometime after Halloween, and then Grammy W recently purchased some Lady Bug Boots for the upcoming "Mud Season". Eowyn enjoys wearing both, and the other day decided to wear them together.

Strong Man Competition here she comes

I don't know why I enjoy it, maybe too many years of TV watching has me conditioned to watch anything, but I really like watching the World's Strongest Man Competitions. I was reminded of that contest the other day while watching Eowyn heft a full water jug around the house. She is so funny in her desire to life heavy things. Not sure how this came about, but she picked this water jug up from the floor and held it as she was picked up in the air. That jug weighs 8 pounds, and she weighs 20, that is slightly less then half her body weight!

Making a Birthday Present for Grammy

I brought Eowyn to a "Paint Your Own Pottery" place. Her cousin was in from out of town, and he's 11, and likes to go paint pottery, so we figured it was something both of them would enjoy, on their own levels. We were right. Everyone had a great time. Ewoyn painted a picture for her Grammy Ouellette, whose birthday is Tuesday, but we saw her yesterday to celebrate. We put her hand print in the center when her painting was complete. Here Grammy was taken with how precious her hand print was, after all we've been through with her hands.

Here is the little painter, taking her task very seriously.

Mom Song

Laundry is my chore

Ewoyn has chores. Christopher has taught her to feed the dog, let the dog in and out (with help with the door knobs still) and to help with laundry. Christopher was folding the laundry and kept handing Eowyn a few bibs and baby wash cloths. They go in a drawer in the kitchen. Eowyn would scamper across the living room, dining room and kitchen, open the drawer, stuff the items in, close it and scamper back. He'd give her more and she'd do it again...This happened over and over, for at least 10 trips. Never tiring, or complaining, the little helper scampered back and forth. It was just about the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I didn't get a photo because the angle wasn't good, and it wouldn't have translated as well on stills as on video. But it was hilarious!

Sleeping

Just when you think this baby can't get any cuter!

Helping Mommy

I was working on a video to show how to use one of my new lines of tools, when Eowyn decided to help. Doesn't she look very informative and knowledgeable?

Daddy Is my Hairdresser

There is no story...this says it all.
