going for a jog

we've officially entered the "i'll do it," "let me do it!" "i can do it!!!!" phase of development, which can be trying at times. just the other day we were in a hurry and i picked thea up out of her car seat to get out of the car quickly and she broke down crying because she wanted to do it herself. while sobbing she threw herself in front of me and tried to physically restrain me from walking away so she could get back in and re-do the whole experience.

she also wants to get herself dressed and loves to put on clothes these days...hers, mine and especially zack's boxers, which she has fashioned into pants, shirts, dresses and hats. here's an outfit she put together last week that's actually not half bad, compared to some of them:



the lighting was very strange in this photo but i love the way it turned out:
