Here's To Silly!

You know it's quite a day when I take pictures of Bean both because she's so cute when she's actually in clothes at home (let's be honest, that hardly ever happens, the being clothed part, not the being cute part):


and because she's so cute when she's hanging out naked (she's had a bit of a chappy bum, and there's no better cure than simple fresh air, right?):


Conclusion:  It's been a good day.

So, my advice is to never get cancer.

Good.  Now that that's taken care of, here's a link to a comic that kind of sums up how I feel about The Big C.  I am posting a link rather than embedding said comic because there is some foul language (and we're not talking chickens here, folks).  This is your official F-bomb warning.  Still, it's apt.

Conclusion:  Don't get cancer.  The end.

We're bad parents.  I'm coming to terms with that.  But at least we're not terrible parents.  We're good about some things.  I still won't give Bean cookies.  They're pure sugar, right?  But somehow we've decided it's ok to give her ice cream.
And she loves it.  Surprising, I know.  I've never really cared for the stuff myself (lies, all lies).  It's rare, though.  She mostly eats fruit and veggies with varied protein sources.  It works out in the end.  I think she'll make it.  Sure hope so.  I really like this kid.  I'd like to keep her.
Conclusion:  Moderation in all things includes ice cream, for sure.  And good parenting is for people without an imagination.

Wearing a white shirt and standing directly in front of a baby feeding herself baked beans and sausage did not turn out as well as I would have hoped.
Yup.  All five fingers on display.

Conclusion:  One can get away with so much more when one is cute and tiny.

Conclusion:  Sometimes it gets overwhelming, dealing with the overload of cuteness at our house.

Bean has recently had her first experience sitting outside.  We don't have a lawn, but there is moss on the sidewalk, so it's pretty much the same thing.
I took her outside with me while I put laundry on the line.  She wasn't too sure of it at first, but seemed ok when I distracted her with a leaf from the ground nearby.
Conclusion:  Outside time is golden, but we look forward to lawn.
