Teeth
Linus rarely goes to the changing table easily which often requires a variety of creative distraction techniques to be used. If successful we get lots of cuteness.

Bundled up
To survive the walk to ballet and other places around the neighborhood we have to really get ourselves bundled up against the cold. This extra padding cuts back on the quantity of tears and wails when we have balance challenged days.

Pensive
Linus and I went to a nearby playroom at the University while the girls were dancing their souls out at ballet.

"Sick"
Most days Linus goes along happily with much of the girls play. Today they decided that Linus was sick so made a tall bed from various pieces of furniture and also the pile of bedding left from recent guests. Sliding down from the bed every few minutes and having to remake it over and over again quickly cured this patient and his nurses of this game.

Paper Dolls
There is a massive amount of paper that gets scissored, glued, taped (with both masking and scotch), and drawn upon in this house. Daily it all threatens to bury us. However, some of the creations that the girls come up with make it bearable. One day they were very involved in making these paper dolls. Each one has several layers of clothes and accessories. Maeta came by after the photo was taken to reposition the lower green girl's dress over her exposed bra. Oops!
