Toddlers test you. That's what they do. Expecting anything else is silly. So of course ours does. It's challenging, but requires that I learn new techniques when dealing with things. Those are the less than fun times. But we have fun. Lots and lots of fun.

Exploring new places. Telling each other stories. Thinking about new things or seeing familiar things in new ways. Routine (yes, it can be fun). I enjoy it all.

One of the things is Alice's fashion sense. She can usually put together an outfit better coordinated than I could. Maybe that's why she insists on getting her clothes and almost reflexively ignoring any of my suggestions. So that's why sometimes when it's 30+ C outside she decides to wear her Marry Jane's with reindeer socks. I can't help it, but I really love the look. You know, 'cause Red is Best.
