Yesterday Rosa Jane went with me on a location scout, but ended up getting a bum knee when she fell down and scraped it to pieces. Not that she liked posing for me before she got hurt, but it was a real double whammy when she was.
From this photo, you can see she picked out her own attire: stripes. It "don'ts" matter that they don't match. It cracks me up to hear her say "don'ts" and then I think we should live in a trailer.
She is also wearing her super fast shoes that she loves so much.
We're getting better at connecting and therefore minding. The terrible two's aren't that bad, you just have to have a pocket full of toddler currency. Whether that's a promise for chocolate milk or a viewing of The Incredibles.

welcome to my world of toddler craziness.
Oh, My Word! Is my daughter a handful these days or what?! 110% Pure crazy. Unstoppable. Darling husband insists this is just a phase, but I don't know. I'm trying to keep my cool and keep things interesting. But it's hot and summertime and things are a bit stressful. It sure would be nice if she'd play along with what we think is fun and games.
Alas, it's her world and if we try to ignore her much longer, I'm a feared our whole house will be destroyed by markers, stickers and play-doh.
'Cause Rosa Jane says, "I gonna write yo' name. See, mommy?"

happy belated birthday, america!!
That's just the way things seem to be at the Roedner Ranch... a day late and a dollar short.
But it rained yesterday and we were so grateful. After urging Rosa Jane, I finally convinced her it would be fun to run into the driveway, out where we'd surely get wet, and give each other a kiss while we laughed and laughed. Kissing in the rain is one of my favorite things to do. Fun, indeed!
The pixie has come and gone. She brought lots of sunshiney brightness as she always does and the world seems a little bit dimmer after she leaves. While she was here, we watched a parade, ate tons of barbeque, partied for the donr's birthday, fed the animals back at the exotic zoo and cheered on the finalists at wimbledon.
My favorite time was the time spent on the front porch watching the birds and explaining the intricacies of dove-identifying.
