bright and early this morning: about a half a minute after this picture was taken, the contents of that blue water bottle were on the floor. pretty cute, huh? who am i kidding, it was pretty cute. it was only water. and the kitchen floor need a good mop anyway. she has been insisting on washing her hands at the sink after every meal, which is great, except of course for incidents like this morning. oh well. adella's latest impossibly cute activity: ever since her party, we actually have ice cream in the freezer (we usually can't buy it because none of us have any self-control) so anytime i ask her if she wants a particular thing to eat she'll say, "nooo, buuuuuut..... ICE CREAM!!" and then she'll smile so sweetly that it is (nearly) impossible for me to resist. little bug is actually taking a nap this afternoon, so i am going to get some knitting time in before she wakes up!
