Out of the mouths of babes

I picked Petra up at school the other day, and while there, a boy was laughing at me saying "You have no hair on top!" (no, no I don't). He even wanted to touch my head.

That evening I was relaying the story to Alison, and Petra said "You're my dada! Not the other kids. [squints an eye up] I'm keeping an eye on you!"

Petra found the tag from a recent bra purchase, and made it her "bookmark." She tucked it into the Mickey Mouse thank you card Grandma sent. It has pictures inside the tag, and she opens it up and reads "Boobs, Boobs, Underwear, Underwear..."

And out of the other end- Accidents every night when grandma was visiting last week. But none since she left. Petra "surprises" us by calling us into the bathroom and saying "Look, I went poop in the potty!" We are required to celebrate. And if it means no more diapers, Hurray!

Our viewers go wild!

Some of the feedback we got about Petra's robot costume:

That is too cute!

OMG!!! Soooooo cute!

She brings a smile to the face, that's for sure! I forget where you are
-- is it cold enough that she'll need tights to go trick-or-treating?

Did you make that? OMG so cute! She is such a pretty girl.

OK, that is a GREAT costume! Also, it proves beyond any doubt that robot
costumes aren't only for boys.

That's awesome, and she looks just thrilled about it!

That's a great costume!

That costume is AWESOME. And the girl in it is awfully cute.

That costume is so freakin' adorable!

That is awesome covered with awesome sauce.

That is freaking aDORable.

The boots are killing me! And her sweet smile too.

That is the smiliest robot I've ever seen.

Yes. And everyone knows that once machines have mastered human emotion
the human race is not long for this world.

That is AWESOME! The boots are fabulous!

That is exactly what a Halloween costume should be.
