Friday evening shenanigans

While her sister naps

Wise words with Esme

Conversation at breakfast after a night disturbed by teething (Esme's last molar is working it's way out).

Grandpa: 'Esme did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?'

Esme: 'No Grandpa! I woke up on the inside of my bed.'

Milestone marker

Our Téa took her first steps yesterday. I guess crawling, climbing and furniture cruising weren't satisfying enough. How is she growing up so fast?

Monkey

Look who figured out how to climb up on to a chair all by herself. She was so proud.

Dinner confusion with Esme

Conversation while having dinner after Alain's soccer game today:

Alain: Ouch, my hamstring is cramping up.
Me: You have a Charlie horse?
Esme: Daddy has a horse at our new house?
Alain: No, my hamstring, a muscle on my leg is hurting me.
Esme: A hamster is hurting Daddy's leg? Hamster, come out! Don't hurt Daddy's leg.
Alain: No not a hamster, a hamSTRING.
Esme: Oh.

..... a few minutes later.....

Esme: There was a guinea pig in Daddy's leg. Hurting his leg.
