• Dad wasn’t kidding when he said Serra~V~ likes to brush her teeth.  She looks forward to it and sometimes can’t wait until someone is nearby to help.  Sometimes the bathroom door gets left open and she toddles in opens the drawer and pulls out a toothbrush.  It is always mommy’s.  Then she brushes her teeth and if she’s lucky the toilet seat has been left open and she has a nice rinsing bowl at her level.  She swishes it around and around and then sucks the water out of it and then repeats.  I have caught her 3 times in the last week at this activity and last night Brian caught her.  Much to his horror she not only had mommy’s toothbrush but his as well.  Oh, the joy.

  
  

  I just got her down for a nap.  We were making cookies and she was helping.  But it is difficult for a 16 month old to just sit and watch.  She burned her hand twice on a hot tray.  (It wasn’t serious, mostly scared her)  She also likes to climb under the sink and sit on the ledge.  I pulled her out a few times and wasn’t quick enough the last time.  Before I knew it she had a bottle of olive oil and lovingly threw it on the kitchen tile.  It left quite a mess and she slipped a fell in the oil.  So she got to sit in the sink while I cleaned up the mess.  She wasn’t happy  because it upsets her when she can tell I’m miffed.  When I finished with her and the oil mess, I escorted her out of the kitchen and told her to stay out until I was finished (only a few minutes).  She kept crying and peeking around the corner at me.  She was very glad when I picked her up and she could put her hands in my hair and cuddle to sleep. 

  
  

  Here are some labor day and other day shots.
