always the bathing-suit

it's pretty much a daily outfit, in one of its very basic incarnations.

swimming in the living room...

it's what suffices when one has no pool.

run away!

another one from the visit to the botanics with Fay

lest i forget

lilah and i were talking this morning about when she was growing in my tummy.

i asked lilah if she remembered being in mummy's tummy.

she corrected me: in mummy's belly.

oh yes. belly. like totoro's fuzzy belly, only a little bit different. do you remember being in mummy's belly?

yes.

what was it like?

...

inside mummy's belly? do you remember what it was like in there?

bad.

this is just funny

what's up with that bite??

Lisa, Totoro, and Wee-Ziza

Lisa is visiting from Hong Kong but will soon be returning to Japan. Anyone who knows Lilah (sorry, I mean Totoro) will know her Blankies. Lisa's Grandmother is the heavenly saint who made L-Totoro those blankets as a gift when she was born.

Those "family jewels" Totoro is holding is Lisa's chunky bracelet. Good positioning, dude.

And Wee-Ziza (Luisa) is our very own re-established Weegie who oftentimes is called upon in an unorderly, last-minute, hasty, tear-filled phone call to help us out with "Princess Lilah Pants" because we need a sitter in the morning... Wee-Ziza is a gift to us all and I hope she knows how much we appreciate her efforts to keep Totoro as unspoiled as possible. ;)

the botanics

Lilah and Fay are wee BFFs. This was just last Sunday (last day of Feb), and the Dads had the great idea to get some coffees and chat while the girlies amused themselves. I remember hearing that Dads spent so much time sitting that they were the first to get restless!

face tattooing

oh. so that's why you were being so quiet in your room just then.

i can see what you were going for here...

part feline. part distinguished frenchman.
