Instead we came straight home and since the front of our house faces the east and the sun was in the back of the house at the time, I thought we could play with some sidewalk chalk.
I picked up a honkin' piece of chalk and scribbled on the ground. Lovie followed suit. Then she put the chalk down, climbed the rocky concrete steps (the curb appeal of the building we live in is embarrassing to say the least- but the inside... makes it doable... so much so that we don't plan on moving out any time soon), and made it pretty clear that she was done playing with chalk.
I call this one: "No, ma. I don't wanna play with chalk, I wanna go inside and watch the Wiggles. Pop Pop!"
Chunky Lovie legs poking out of shorts = making my day!
ReplyDeletePJ loves chalk. He tries to use it in the house. He'd never say screw the chalk. :)
ReplyDeleteok woman, I just caught up on your recent posts, and you have been dealing with some crazy shit at that park! I'm not surprised Lovie was all "eff this - imma go chill"
ReplyDeletePS Ollie would just try to eat the chalk, so I'm no help there.
Is it wrong that I LOVE this phase when the self expression is crystal clear? I love the independence, the assertion, the freedom to just do exactly as they please...I find it endlessly fascinating and entertaining.
ReplyDeleteGo Lovie! The heat and me? Ugh...
