Keening with a Toddler

Tantrums are becoming more and more frequent around here. Kumi is very securely attached to me and often refuses to do anything unless I am holding her hand, sitting beside her. Needless to say, it's challenging to get anything done.

So I felt incredibly productive when I was able to wash all the floors and vacuum this morning. Lucky for me, Kumi LOVES to clean. She calls it "keening".

While we were cleaning, she came across Book One of the journal I keep talking about. "Cuuute," she said, flipping through the pages. My daughter. So much like me.

I was able to sew another cute little top while Kumi napped today. I'll show you tomorrow! Right now, I have a date with my honey to watch Battlestar Galactica Season 3 on DVD. For those of you who know me, I am a die-hard fan of the show. To give you an idea of my utter geekiness when it comes to BG, I have listened to EVERY podcast commentaries and have watched all the deleted scenes. I'm pretty sure I cried when season 2 ended.

Here are a few more pages from Book One. This was around Halloween -- I was trying to figure out costumes for Kumi and we went to a pumpkin patch with some friends.
