Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Jem-elie

Let's pretend it's Thursday, or I may never get this posted (I keep waiting for Thursday to post, then missing it).

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Jem-elie!

Yes, I've introduced my daughter to the Jem cartoons. Yes, they're as bad as I thought they might be, even though I do remember them fondly. (And I just found out today that the entire series is being re-released on DVD in October!)

Eme loves them. She parades around the house pretending to get into peril and singing her way back out of it. She's truly, truly, truly outrageous.

A father/son conversation

This actual conversation had me laughing all day. Andreas and Oskar were in the bathroom together:

Andreas: I've got to teach you something about shaving, little buddy.

Me: Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? Oskar is only 4 months old; he can't even grow a beard yet.

Andreas: (to me) I was getting to that. (to Oskar) Step one: grow a beard.

Oskar: (smiles)

Wonder Baby Wednesday -- finding my feet

Wonder Baby Powers, activate! Form of...foot detective!

Oskar says, "there's that foot I've been looking for! Now if only I could get it to go into my mouth..."

Wonder Baby Wednesday -- Prince Oskar

Wonder Baby Powers, activate! Form of...Prince Charming!

Eme crowned her brother "Prince Oskar" the other day. I hope these pictures don't come back to haunt him if he ever decides to run for office.

Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Fire Chief

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Stow Fire Chief!

We went to see the Touch-a-Truck event at the Stow Library a few weeks ago, and Eme had a blast! You may notice, though, that while she is wearing a fire chief hat, she's actually sitting in the driver's seat of a mail truck.

Still cute, though.

(For a blast from the past, click here to see the last time I posted a pic of Eme in a fire hat at the 2009 Touch-a-Truck, when she was just over a year old!)

Wonder Baby Wednesday -- Smiles!

Wonder Baby Powers, activate! Form of...Biiiiiiiig Smiles!

Oskar started making really cute, really big, non-gas-related smiles. In this pic, his sister is doing her best to make him smile for my camera.

Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Tied

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Daddy ready for work.

The other day Eme took a ribbon and tucked it into her shirt, then told me she was like Daddy when he goes to work. Yes, she made her own tie.

She came up with it all by herself. I merely took the picture.
