Just to Remember

• I've started a couple of knitting projects, and Tess calls it "needling." "Mommy, are you going to needle me a hat?" "Mama, are you needling?" "Mama, I am going to needle you a hat!"
• Tess likes to claim what is hers, which Eric and I use to our advantage at meal time. When she got down from the table without even tasting the green smoothie we had given her, I said, "oh good, Tess doesn't want her smoothie. I get it all." She instantly turned around and got a twinkle in her eye and a smirk on her face and said, "No! I want it." She drained her cup to the last drop, just to prevent me from getting any.
