Sometimes you just gotta give in...(or up...)

Sometimes it just isn't worth the fight...

Sigh...yes, even the most well-intentioned, over-educated parents can end up feeding their child French Onion dip for dinner on occasion. Ummm...dairy group?? No, the chip wasn't included. It was just acting as the spoon. Hey, you try to get her to eat!

Even though she doesn't want to eat, she does love to cook. "Cooking! Food! Eat! Hun-ry." Interesting that her kitchen floor looks similar to mine after I've made dinner...hmmm. I think there is even a baby having a temper tantrum on her floor, too!

It is so fun to see Kate starting some imaginative play where she pretends. She pretends to cook (with my felt food!! yippee!!) and puts her babies to bed "night night baby...peeping" (=sleeping, said always in a whisper).


She also loves her stroller "go-wee". Here she is grocery shopping, checking out the nutritional content of Special K. Highly advanced for her age, you know...
Nah, I'll pass on the Special K, give me that French Onion dip!

And I couldn't resist one more pic with her hair in pig tails...they are just so darn cute! Such a shame they don't last.

The Helmet

Kate loves her bike. "Bike! Bike!" is all I hear when we go get in the car (the bike is right next to her side of the car). However, we made the mistake of letting her go on it before we got her a helmet...I'm sure you can see where this is going. Kate can't actually ride the bike, but she loves to sit on the seat and have Daddy push her around. Until the helmet...
A few minutes of riding...
Get this thing OFF!Daddy will wear the helmet, see?!? Isn't this fun!
Mommy to the rescue.
