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

Could you please share your tip for nipping bad behavior in the bud? I seem to be very ineffective in that area. :)

My dear little Della,

You are one smart little cookie. Grammy has loved watching you grow...in all you do and using wonderful words and you just know so darn much.

The other day you told me you have blue eyes, daddy has blue eyes, but Mommy doesn't have blue eyes...she has green.

Today is the last day of 2007 and you will be three in 18 days. This next year will be quite the adventure!

I love you, Grammy
