Open Ended Questions

So, with toddlers it is best to give them defined options. Sometimes Claron forgets this. This morning Claron asked Eliza what she would like for breakfast. Her answer: nopets and coooo-keys.
Translations:
Wonder Pets Fruit Snacks


Oreo Cookies


Thankfully, Claron knew better. She had Cheerios.

We have the best friends

Our super sweet friend, Liz, put up this post about Eliza.

In other not-so-good news, Eliza broke her clavicle (collar bone) trying to escape her crib. I'll post more (hopefully with x-rays) tomorrow.

FFFFiiiiiiiiiiiiire! Smoke on the horizon.

Dear Fire,
You're back again?! Already? C'mon, you visit more often than my parents. In fact, I called my parents and accidentally, callously commented, "Can you believe the stupid mountains are on fire AGAIN?" Really. You are making me a bad person. This time can you just burn all the chapparral, be over with and stay away... even just for a year? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Amanda

P.S. I'd also really, really appreciate if you could not burn people's houses down (and more selfishly if you could keep blowing all the smoke out to sea. I really, really, really hate when you coat everything in nasty, sooty ash).
