Some reasons why the salad course was delayed

1. Britt decided it was time to vacuum the rug.
2. Phoebe decided it was time for "banilla" yogurt. She rolled her tricycle over to the washing machine and used the seat as a stool to climb on top (possibly unrelated to the banilla yogurt quest).
3. Britt threw Phoebe's owl into the kitchen to get it out of the way of the vacuum. It hit the rim of the yogurt bowl, which by this time I had filled up for Phoebe, and bounced out after skating across the surface of the yogurt. I had to clean his ear.

I never would have guessed that Phoebe's primary occupation in the snow would be eating it. But then I remembered my own snow-eating days. I think we flavored it with maple syrup. Phoebe takes hers straight up.

The Jump Rope

What can I say?

Tiny Baby

Lately, Phoebe has been asking to get in the Maya wrap. In this shot, believe it or not, she's completely inside the sling with only her toes sticking out. No joke. She's almost 3, dresses herself, goes pee-pee on the potty, can climb to the tip-top of the jungle gym "all by myself," and she still (sometimes) wants to be a tiny baby.
