Riley and Avery

Riley has really been misbehaving lately. Rudi thinks that she needs a behavioral evaluation. I just think that she is too clever. She doesn't fall for any of the usual parenting tricks. She was mad at me the other day, so she said, "well, then, I'm not going to give my baby nai-nais (Riley-speak for breastfeeding)!" She really knows how to get to me. I get the creepy feeling that she is going to be smarter than me sooner than later. Her vocabulary and usage shock me every day. She's definitely one smart cookie! Her favorite thing to do today is put her marbles in a bowl, sit on them, and say that she's a mommy chicken and is waiting for her eggs to hatch. Right now she is squishing up grapes and trying to feed them to Avery, who is not enjoying it very much. In fact, she's downright frantic.
