I'm still alive...

I'm having trouble being consistent with this blog thing. It is not that life has slowed down and being boring here. The opposite in fact. The terrible 2's has come in FULL force. Before Zara turned 2 I thought I had been through all I could go through with her and her busyness...SURPRISE...its a whole new ball game. Or something. She has frequent tantrums, is VERY stubborn and the attitude is extraordinary. When we are out in public I just pretend I`m the babysitter and then it is perfectly understandable that I`m standing there not having a clue how to react to this CRAZY child. It's these frazzled moments where I'm not sure whether to cry, laugh or rip my hair out when she comes over and plants a BIG kiss on my cheek and tells me she loves me...and then it is all better again. Here is what she has been up to lately. Sorry some are sideways.


Diaper rash cream....not so good as a lotion.



These ones are the ones that amaze me the most. Falling asleep just randomly. This is the ONLY 2 times she has done this without being sick.


Even managed to get some `rings` on her fingers.


We've also reached the stage where she likes to pick out what she is wearing. This was the outfit the other morning. The shirt on backwards with both legs in one leg of the PJ bottoms. She maybe thought this matched because they both had polka dots on them.



That is the Zara update. Now Kanya...the poor girl is going to live in her big sisters shadow her whole life I think. She is so content and happy just to watch Zara that she doesn`t get into any trouble. She has 2 teeth coming in on the bottom and is rolling like CRAZY...and that's about it. Are all second children this easy?
Here is a picture of Kanya modeling a skirt I made for them for convention...with a sweater that doesn`t match and no shirt under but it better than being completely topless.

  1. Little Zara maybe a busy little girl but we sure do love her and can see how boring life would be without her. Give her a hug from grandma.
