"They" say a picture's worth a thousand words. I'll let you be the judge of that...
All I wanted was for her to smile at the camera. Is that too much to ask? I thought you could get a good idea of her personalty by just looking at her teeth. They're all over the place. Twitchy. She knocked her two front teeth out when she was three. She's been toofless over half her life already. It's about time some of them started coming in and not just falling out.
Yeah. Here's a good picture.
Twitchy used to yell, "TOE JAMMMMS" at Daddy as he left for work. Yes. Toe. Jams. I don't know either. Just one of those Twitchy things.
It's much more fun to act like you don't know what's going on. For example, the other day I spent 45 minutes trying to eplain how to read three digit numbers to her. We used her math blocks.
Me: Where's the hundred's place?
T: Ummmm.... over there? (points to a totally different page)
Me: No. What number are we looking at.
T: This one. (points to the number 642)
Me: Yes. Now what number is in the hundred's place?
T: Ummm... 2! No. 5! No... ummm...? 4? 6!
Me: ahhhhhhhh!
1/2 hour later...
Me: So. What number is that?
T: (very matter of fact and i knew it all along) six hundred fourty two.
You should have seen how she put the blocks on the page.... no order at. all. none. ZERO. One hundred here.... One over there.... Two over here... and maybe a couple over there. And ones and tens? The same way. Twitchy, I tell ya!
And the clothes thing. Wow! She's going to be a fun teenager. If I'm not careful, Twitchy could easily change her clothes 50 times a day. "Why do we have to wear clothes that match?" She prefers to wear her clothes more on the 'fun' side. Kinda reminds me of a certain "cute" little sister of mine. If given the chance, I bet she'd wear two or more pairs of socks stacked on top of each other. I just don't get it. Does this child really have MY genes???
Twitchy. Gotta love the hair do. Had to chop it off chin length to keep her from chewing on it. Not sure that really worked. Don't be surprised if you see a new post soon with new girlie hair cuts. Wish I could get one too.
Gotta love those rose colored glasses. Life is a bowl full of cherries. It's all fun and games. With a joyful smile and a twinkle in her eye, she'll brighten even your darkest days.

She will either marry an orthodontist after you've spent a ma-jillion dollars on her mouth. Or, a mathematician. Just to mess with ya.
