The face of one who has just rolled over for the first time.

In our World of Pretend...

Three days ago, E came into the room and addressed me as, "Hey, Maleficent." (the evil witch from Sleeping Beauty). Yesterday, I kept hearing, "Hey, Stepmother". (from Cinderella). Finally, today, I have been referred to as, "Honey.", and I even got a "You're my best mommy." It seems I'm out of the doghouse. For now.

The Girls

Despite the pink princess bibs or pink stripes on her clothes, pretty much every stranger thinks M is a boy (which is 100% understandable, given she looks exactly like her Uncle Mark). Today, a service man asked E if she helped mommy with her little brother. E gave me a confused look, looked back at him and said, "It's a girl."
