Say hello to the birthday girl with her war paint. Hugged me tight the whole time I sang happy birthday to her this morning. O that makes a dad happy.

Islay has been putting kids at school in time outs. She also says Come! when she wants you to follow her. My favs are still her current Thank You, which sounds like tain-Qoo, and More, which is Mwoi!

Islay cried every time she had to get off. More, more!

The imp

This shot captures something special in our girl who, by the way and for record keeping's sake, slept in her own bed in her own room all week! With the exception of the first night--hardly worth mentioning it was so minor (it was the first night after all)--when she went 8p to 2:30 and 3-6:30, she's gone 8p to 5 or 6a EVERY night. No battles, no crying. It's almost as if she said: about time mom and dad!

We miss her cuteness in our bed, but I for one am over the moon with pride for her...and joy to have my bed back so I can read. 16 months is long, man.

Ta-dah!
