Lean in...

If there are two things I like, it's wearing tutus (preferably of the Jazz Tap variety) and building impossibly high Lego towers.  

Is there a female empowerment message somewhere here?

I also like karate chops!

In the Kitchen with KR

We made pink lemonade cupcakes this weekend.  My secret ingredient?

Everything tastes better when baked by a fairy princess mermaid!!

My mom frequently pleads with me to get a cute new haircut... A bob, perhaps?  But I prefer to keep my hair long.  Nevertheless, I did agree to a TRIM this weekend:

Don't cut too much!

Phew, not too short.  I like it!

Even mom got in on the act...yes, at *my* salon.  Desperate times, people.  She has a newborn at home and her hair was getting scary.

And then, off to lunch with Namma!

The many faces of me

I consider myself to be a method actress of sorts. Here I am walking my mom through some of my acting exercises. 

This is "angry"

This is "surprise!"

This is "hungry puppy"

...and this is "ant".

I'm available for private coaching sessions if you're interested.

Hit me with your best shot!

Yesterday I went to see the doctor for my check-up. 

I received a clean bill of health and to my delight was told that nutella is a perfectly fine breakfast food *and* that it's ok to sleep with a zillion stuffed animals in my bed. (Take that, mom!  Serves you right for asking the doctor in front of me!) 

To my dismay, though, I was told that I'm not yet 40 lbs, meaning the dream of switching from a carseat to a booster is still just a dream...

Being at the doctor was really quite an adventure.  I checked on and counted all the fish in the koi pond.

I took vision and hearing tests, and my blood pressure taken (mine is higher than mom's!)

I also got three, count 'em three, shots which earned me a lollipop!

And lots of bragging rights!

And a celebratory trip to McDonald's for a happy meal!
