Selah June is pushing 3, and her daddy made it very clear that she needed some new clothes. She is turning into such a big girl!

So I found some 3T outfits at Carter’s with her name on them on Thursday and even bought the necklace to match. She loves getting surprises, and was all about getting a huge bag of clothes. I told her to show her pretty outfits to her daddy. She picked up one hanger at a time and said,

“Look, Daddy! This one is for a big girl. This is a good one.”

This morning, she had a play date scheduled with Satie and Sebastian. I told her we needed to pick out an outfit from her new clothes to wear. She ran into her room and picked out the flouncy skirt with hidden shorts right away, and then she wanted the bright orange shirt to match. And don’t forget about our necklace!

i told her I needed her picture in her new outfit, and she was totally ready to pose for one. That’s how you know she was happy with her new look! ❤️

Be still, my heart.

Somebody only wants to eat chips. CHIPS!!!  We’ve very clearly discussed that they are “junk food.” And junk food is NOT good for you. But she says that “junk food is good.” Here are some of the ways she’s communicated that message to me over the last few days.

Junk food is perfect.

It’s awesome.

Chips are good.

They are junk.

Healthy food is yucky.

Broccoli is not junk food.

i told her about hat she needed to see herself with those chips. She thought it was very funny. You can see how much she is flaunting her love affair with “junk food” (and specifically chips).

We needed a new project – some creativity to inject inside the four walls of our home. And I had some random coffee filters. It’s an activity!

Selah June loved gently coloring each filter and then passing it along to me to “cut it” before taping it to the glass door.

Her little face expressed such unadulterated excitement when I would tell her another one was done and begin to unfold it before her very eyes.

Were going to have a fun Christmas season.

I put put on this mask the other day because I had 10 minutes to myself (a rarity). It never occurred to me that it would make me look like the axe murderer. Selah June came running up behind me in the kitchen, and when I turned around she let out a blood-curdling scream. I’ve only heard that scream a couple of times, and never were they forebearers of good tidings of great joy.

Of course, I scooped it of my face as fast as I possibly could, but she didn’t know what to think of me for the rest of the night.

Sorry, kid….  I let the cat out of the bag. ?

I had honors orientation all morning, so SJ and Daddy went to the grocery store and to get donuts without me. When I came home, they were indulging in a huge bowl of watermelon. Does anything say dog days of summer quite like this??
