here is jasper [...]

a girl, a chair and a bathtub…

jasper lilith has a favorite chair in natchitoches (wasn’t this chair yours as a child, arnetta?) and it never takes her long to pull it out and make herself comfortable

to jasper lilith:  “look at your feet, sugar-monkey!  you have happy toes!”

to jon (the papa):  “uh…what do you mean “toxic”?  it’s nail polish…for people…why?  you don’t like it on her?”

pull up a diaper changing pad, why don’t you?

jasper lilith has developed this little habit of pulling her diaper changing pad down from the counter, dragging it into the living room and lying down on it to watch her noggin shows…or she will drag it into the kitchen while i am cooking and lay down on it to keep me company…

it looks like [...]

color me happy…

finally!!  perserverance has paid off and jasper lilith is coloring!!  not eating the crayons, not organizing the markers, not arranging the chalk but actually using them all!! 

i have learned that it is best to just strip her down because although everything (including the crayons – ah, the science of crayola!) says it is “washable” (and it really [...]
