She needs me, she needs me not…

This picture was taken by my friend Jamie using her Nikon D300 while she was here on vacation with her family. All I can say is it would have been way cuter if she’d used a canon 40D. But whatever. You have to work with what you got, right? This will have to suffice.

We’re off to San Francisco for five days of entertaining our little Nikon-captured roommate up there. This person who resides down the hall from me can pour herself a bowl of cereal now. By that I mean, she can get it out of the child-proofed cupboard, pour it and put it away, sealing the open bag with a bag clip. She can access the bowl even though it’s on a shelf above the counter, retrieve, pour and put away the milk. Helping herself to a spoon is baby talk by comparison. And the kid can clear her dishes when she’s done. Without being asked!

But with Candyland, a matching game, a plastic dolphin, two barbies, a pair of underwear and a terrycloth swimsuit cover-up, the child cannot for the life of her pack a suitcase. To say this makes me feel needed is an understatement.

OMG! IM SPEECHLESS – I WANT THE HAIR TO…I dont suppose I could talk you into adopting me? ;)

Yup, me too; ‘Wants the hair. (Then again, I’d settle for any ‘do that didn’t include a 4″ bald spot.)

And looking forward to the day my son is old enough to fend for himself a bit more. The little shit kept us up ’til 3am last night. X-P

That’s a picture of a little girl–not a toddler.
