Kids don’t mind extreme weather, they actually seem to thrive when rain boots are around (unlike me and my hair/humidity fiascoes)
In fact I think toddlerhood was invented so that designers could come up with wacked out rain gear prints and themes; maybe that’s not entirely true (and has nothing to do with this post)…but no can explain neko’s love for mismatched country clothes, puddles, mud, exploring the woods, weeding and planting things in dirt holes (her words entirely) frogs, geese poop and jumping for joy on Friday nights yelling ‘yey, the country, i love the country’….
Looks like we got a nature lover/ tree hugger (who loves glitter and fancy) on our hands!

Passover 2011 Report:
Neko had a good time because (this according to her) she got to play with swords (meaning she got two boys to chase her around), and be at Gaba’s house (we know he’s a ladies man) and go upstairs and watch a movie about Nemo (movies and matzah are a killer combo).
We had a good time (this according to me) because it was Pot Luck Seder (meaning I didn’t need to do anything), we didn’t read the damn long Hagdah (meaning we were home by 10), I ate about 16 coconut macaroons and got to spend it all with new friends.
Friends really do come from the most unexpected places (like the matzah aisle at the supermarket)
Thank you Sasha, John, Gaba and Avi!
We succumbed to endless reruns of sleeping beauty (neko can sing I know you theme song entirely by heart).
We succumbed to princess dress up gear, barbies everywhere and only wearing pink pajamas and matching socks (for nights on end - out laundry looked like pepto).
We succumbed to all things girlie but we tried to draw some lines in the sand (in a wind storm, apparently).
Never say never….ever!
As a special present for ridding us of Dora night time pulls ups, we agreed that after 2 full weeks of no pee pee (imagine the mounds of laundry at 3 am dudes - totally exhausting) in the bed (followed with a chart and everything) that neko would get a present of her choice.
An older girl showed neko the wonders of Barbie make up and she was hooked. She spent our weekend in Miami with lip gloss on her eyebrows.
The pink (of course) make up bag pack featured a plethora of gloss and some other things I am ashamed to admit I like. She promised she would never ever put the nail polish on, except just this one time……
Never say never!

Hanging at the Zoo this weekend (sans mamas):
Upon seeing the cow in poop action (see above) neko commented: Daddy, it didn’t wipe!
And yes yes, don’t worry, Peter made sure to disinfect neko’s hands after she inserted them in a cow’s mouth!
Remember this pic:
I guess those kids love that damn turtle!

Not sure why, how and what this may mean on a subconscious level, but neko L.O.V.E.S getting into small tight spaces and things:
Note: pics are a semi anthology of our record of neko getting into things and begging to be carried around the latest is the weekend bag we got from Chalarons (I can’t take that thing out of the closet when she’s around)!
