I actually feel a little bit sorry for Charlotte, every time she tries to do something fun one of the E's pick her up and carry her away.

Lol "bonk".

[mybonnykate]

She leads an oppressed existence. :D

[galagwyn]

lol at "bonk!" And I love how your lens caught the fish-eye effect of Mama-rescue-vision.

That's totally what it looks like in my memory. Plus a big splash and howl of outrage.

Oh my!
She's preparing you for a boy, I tell you. Tijn at that age would actually have walked right in, without even stopping :D

Ellie and Elisabeth would both instinctively stop at the edges of things like that. Charlotte has no fear, no brains. I was like WHAT ARE YOU DOING?????! She's a terror in Maine when we visit the bell tower, too -- plunging towards the edge of the hill every two minutes.

Toddler babywearing is not an altruistic act. It is pure self-defense.

"Toddler babywearing is not an altruistic act. It is pure self-defense."

You get it. I once got seriously surprised looks from a mom-of-girls when I told her, months ago, that I didn't even start to consider having T. With me in a store while NOT in a sling, stroller or cart. The "you can't even control your 18-month-old look.

I wish her a Charlotte or Tijn for her next baby.

They're babies! You can't plunk a one-year-old down in a big grassy field and then tell him not to explore. Sheesh.

I was so waiting for a "Charlotte in the fountain" pic! LOL. Too funny about the "pond scum in hair" event. Love the bonk! Hee.

There is a wee bit of Wolfie in her after all.

Liam tried to crawl into the ocean when he was nine months old, taking off for it at breakneck speed, giggling maniacally. I don't think I let him around water again until he was past 2. LOL.

And I can't resist the bath face. Isla gives me that face when I find her hiding upstairs, crapping in her pants.

Hahaha!
