Need I say more? (well...one thing. They're not ours)

I love seeing her self-portraits. She and I are competing on number SPs on my phone. Two peas in a pod.

After walking away from her she announced "mama, I'm going poop!" I ran over and she said "just kidding mama"

She has my number.

Zoo Doo

168/366

Tulla Bella/Tuna Bella for dinner.
Zoo for dessert. Allie picked her own shoes so she walked around the zoo barefoot...typical Davis children garb. It's 8:15 and I'm ready for bed. Thank you zaide and baba!

For your planning purposes:

Maddie would like a horse or cow for her birthday/christmas. Clothes and shoes are no longer being accepted.

Allie has been wanting to review acceptable vs unacceptable language lately. Today while she and I were taking a shower she looked up at me and said "mama, is it ok if I say oh dammit"? Except with her toddler accent it sounds like "oh DeAmit" which is really hard not to laugh at.

On Saturday while on a timeout that someone forgot to release her from she was found with her nose against the wall SLEEPING.

After waiting since October when Auntie Megan sent a Halloween fun package Maddie finally worked up the courage to put in her purple teeth today. Always at her own pace...

Pre-K Celebration

Last Wednesday Maddie's class had their pre-k celebration ceremony. Nonna, Hadley, Carson and Zaide all came to watch, and Maddie couldn't have been more pleased to see her fan club in attendance.

The kids all made their own caps. Maddie's stayed on for about half a second.

Bossy Betty was very helpful with Carson's cupcake

Bossy Betty Sr. was very helpful with the bounce toy

Sunday's races were so much fun to see. Lolo Jones qualified for the Olympics in a very exciting race and Ashton Eaton set a world record for the decathlon. Bruce Jenner was there to congratulate him. I wonder if KK came along. The flight down was icy and not that much fun. The flight home was amazing. Seeing the sunset out over the ocean, the city skyline all lot up...it was just gorgeous. I'm happy to be home today spending time with my girls though.
