sneaky nakedity

Dear Della,

Yesterday, you were more fired up than normal. You combined 2 of your favorite activities of late, climbing and taking your clothes off.

I was downstairs checking work emails, and I thought I should come up to check on you and see what collateral damage occurred by your antics. I came up the stairs and looked around the kitchen then heard a giggle. You were up on the chopping block, nude, eating off of the gingerbread house you made with Marlee. And, you were smiling and giggling mischievously. If I had been Aunt Phae, I would've run to get the camera before going into my discipline speech. But, I had to forgo the urge as I need to nip this new climbing urge in the bud!

A little later in the afternoon, after I had put clothes back on you but you had gone to the bathroom and failed to return with the bottom half of your clothes, you stood in the front window. Sarah and Sophie pulled up for a surprise visit, and they also received a surprise of you standing in the window with only a shirt on your body!

I think the next year will be challenging!

I love you,

Mama

i need a wax

Dear Della,

Yesterday morning, we were laying in bed together. I kissed you on the cheek and said good morning. You replied with a nice kiss on the lips and said, "Good mowning, kid! Awe you gwowing a beawd?" "Why," I asked, "because of the hair on my upper lip?".

"Yes."

It must be time for me to have my upper lip waxed. I think I have an appointment next week.

I love you, despite the fact that you think I could have a new career in the circus.

Mama
