Happy Birthday, Me!

Okay, okay -- here's the Lily Janega Second Birthday Photo Op Drinking* Game (tm). Play along at home!

Pose, but then stop smiling an instant before your parents take the picture? Drink!

Convince your parents to bribe you with a sticker for a smile, then crawfish and plant it on your knee when they click the shutter? Drink!

Put that sticker on your bellybutton THROUGH THE TOP OF YOUR SHIRT? Drink!

Cheerfully say "Bye, bye!" when one of your parents walks away in exasperation? Ha, ha! You've got it! Drink!

Blue steel. Drink! I WIN!

Approach camera to survey damage. And if that doesn't make your parents want a drink**, nothing will! I call my team the Terrible Twos. I need no other teammates.

* Milk.

** Not necessarily milk.

Good Times

Some day maybe we'll get tips for this. Anyone got an extra fishbowl?

Good girl, Ceilidh. We miss you.

Tackling Heavy Themes

My mom would like me to mention that this photo was not staged! And she's right; I love books so much I don't even need pictures! I should be ready for my IB oral commentary in just a few minutes...

the MPHS senior class has nothing on me! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I've had a lovely day full of cupcakes, cookies, and Valentine's cards. I got cards from everyone in my class at school, but I think I'll declare Patches as this year's Valentine.

So far February is the best month of the year--full of cake! We've celebrated Nanny's birthday and Aunt Laura's birthday, Mom's is coming up next week, and mine is the week after. I'll be TWO!

Ciaran and I love all the birthday celebrations and can't wait for more.

Stir Crazy Winter Fun

What else is there to do on a cold, snowy February evening but act like a chicken? I suppose the Super Bowl could be a distraction, but knowing what's going on might help. I think I like the chicken better--the tall one in the black t-shirt!
