More good parenting...

Last weekend Kendra was walking around while I was tidying up and suddenly, without any apparent provocation, started crying pretty intensely.  I stopped what I was doing and picked her up to examine her when I saw a very small cut inside her mouth...probably caused by the ball point pen in her hand.

I didn't think baby Tylenol would be effective so I thought for a moment what else I could give her for the pain in her mouth...

Then I remembered the Otter Pops.  Perfect!  It totally turns those tears to giggles, I love those Jedi Mommy Moments when I awesomely know just what to do.  But you know what happens when someone eats a blue popsicle?


I'm pretty proud of this shot, actually. At first I was trying to get her to smile but then I remembered that she sticks her tongue out at you if you do it first, which made the desired display of the colored tongue much easier!


Such a pretty girl...

And so delightful, too!  She's seriously just the funnest little girl to be around...

And here's a close-up of all those teeth on the bottom.  She's got 8 now!  And it REALLY hurts when she bites!

CHOMP!

Getting to be a pretty experienced mommy, able to leap tall buildings as a single bound, handles blood calmly until after it is fixed, and knows just how to fix owies. Good luck.

Cute :) Simeon loves otter pops. Between "pocuwees" and "ah cweem" (Popsicles and ice cream) it's a wonder he gets any real food in him :)

Wow! Didn't she just barely have only one! "Bring on the steak, Mom!"
