Daddy Daughter Days

Not a lot of commentary for my day with the girls this week.

But I will start with a story about the girls going to Mother Goose on the Loose.  I don't take a lot of pictures when we go to story time at the library.  It really isn't the time for it.  It is more about interacting with your kids and enjoying the nursery rhymes and stories together.  So I don't even take my iPhone out of my pocket when I go.

The people that run it are fantastic and really make it a point to encourage the children to move around and have fun.

At one point Ana walked to another part of the room with the jingle bell that we were using for our nursery rhymes.  Apparently she got too close to another ladies kid with it, so the lady was grabbing my Ana's arm and reprimanding her.

Not cool.  She is only 18 months old.  Also you don't put your hands on another person's kid.  Nothing she was doing would harm your 3-year-old.

So I went over, picked Ana up and put her back in my lap.  I didn't want to make it an issue, but I wasn't very happy about it.  Chill out lady.  Part of this time is to not only enjoy stories and being active but also about interacting with other kids.  If your kid can't handle a 18-month-old toddler invading his personal space, then you really need to reconsider why you're coming to an activity full of toddlers.

Anyways on to the cute pictures that you came here for.

I don't understand the fascination with the dog dish.  Ana can't help herself and has to play with the water and grab the food.  Gotta keep your head on a swivel when the dog is visiting.

I love her so much.  There really isn't anything more to say than that.

Grace loves the self portrait.  You'll notice Ana's hand coming into to frame.  She is once again trying to photobomb her sister's picture.

Grace is such a diva.  Not really.  But she does love to where her sunglasses.  At one point she even put them on top of her head like dad does.  So stylish.

The one on the left is not so good with a spoon.  The one on the right is excellent with a spoon.  This leads to one messy kid and one not so messy kid.

I've written before about the girls love of Yo Gabba Gabba.  There is one song in particular that gets a lot of play.  It's the Hold Still song.  Anyone familiar with Yo Gabba Gabba knows that song is all about getting your wiggles out.  Grace wiggles and shakes her head so much that she oftentimes ends up on the ground.  It always brings a smile to my face.

Ana started the day with her dog dish fascination and ended the day on the dog bed with Molly.  Which makes for an adorable moment...if you're okay with your kid being covered in dog hair.

That's all for this week.  Have a great weekend.

Daddy Daughter Days

Hello to all my lovely readers.  And the ugly ones too.

Back again for another week showcasing my day off with the girls.  With the weather changing most of the day was spent outdoors and the girls couldn't have been happier.  They love being outside.  So we start with some pictures from Wednesday evening in the back yard.  Running around in the grass always puts a smile on their faces.

Or they rock their funny faces as you can see Grace presenting here.

I think Ana looks so much like Erin in this picture.  Erin disagrees.  But we agree that she is beautiful.

Grace loves rocks.  I thought this was a boy thing, but Grace doesn't want to be put into some gender profile.

Help!  I'm trapped in some sort of outdoor jail cell.  No.  Actually this is just a patio cover.

Grace likes to run laps around our house.  She runs through the kitchen and entry way around our stairs.  She also screams the entire time she's doing it.  It's a good way to use up energy in the morning...and make sure dad is really awake.

Grace admiring her work from Easter.  That or she just wanted to reuse the stickers and stick them to something else.

In order to keep my San Francisco Giants label streak alive...

Ana now says "Elmo" when prompted.  She also likes to kiss Elmo and now she likes to drum with him.  I feel like she's trying to pull a Yoko on this one.

Grace is basically running away in this picture.  She was so excited to go on a walk.  Ana has started holding my hand on walks and will not let go.  It seriously makes my heart all explodey.

There was also a trip to the park, but you couldn't imagine how low a priority taking pictures becomes when Grace is putting handfuls of sand on her head and Ana is trying to get down from the jungle gym without the aid of a slide or steps.  Yeah survival becomes the number one priority.  Hence no pictures.

After the park, we took baths and waited for mom to get home.  So dad popped on an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba and danced with the girls.  Here is DJ Lance being a total creeper, yet the girls can't get enough of it.
That's all from this week's adventure.  Hope everyone out there has a great weekend.  See you next week.
