A Tea Party with Clarity

Scarlett is obsessed with tea parties right now. OBSESSED. We pretend to drink air and eat plastic cake all day long around here. And of course she knew Clarity the cat would enjoy partaking as well.

First she brought Clarity her cup and saucer.

She correctly surmised that Clarity would enjoy her cat food more than plastic cake, so she scooped some out of her bowl to serve on a pink saucer.

Clarity wasn't eating as quickly as Scarlett would have liked, so she found it necessary to feed her out of her hand. Clarity actually ate a bite, which shocked me. 

Clarity is generally annoyed by Scarlett, but more than anything she's also pretty lazy. I'm starting to think she masterminded this whole plan to get somebody to feed her without having to get off the couch, and she knew Scarlett would do anything to win her love. It's a win-win for both of them!

What Scarlett Does for Fun, Shopping Cart Edition

Does your child do this?

Unfortunately I'm usually too busy trying to hold her down to get a picture of her trying to stand up and slide out of the buckle.

So then I let her do this:

But I never really thought about the fact that she's a climber. 

She outdid herself on our next trip to Target. She climbed up the side of the cart and fell flat on her head. It took her about .08 seconds to do it -- I know this because that is approximately the amount of time it takes me to put a box of shoes back on the shelf. 

There was a lot of panicking and freaking out, mostly from me. This is how Scarlett handled her time in the ER:

My mind was racing and I wanted to throw up. All she wanted to do was run. For the record, she's totally fine and that red bump was gone by morning. And I never want to take her to the store with me ever again.

This is the face of a girl who just had an emergency bath.

Where's the fire, you ask? Because I caught her playing with cat poop. I honestly don't know how these things happen. I'll spare you THAT picture.

Good thing she's cute even when she's being naughty.
