Elise,

Today was an exciting day.

You said a new word,---dvd. The picture of you on the couch is you watching daddy's dinosaur videos that you want to watch every day, all day. :]

You left your hair in a ponytail for the first time ever. You used to always just pull it out.

You got to go for a wagon ride.

You and daddy jumped on the couch

and daddy put your skirt on you upside down. What a crazy dad!

And the following is a fake story written by your very, very strange father!

During the wagon ride, you seemed moderatley amused. But as you roade along, you seemed to enjoy it more. Eventually, your boogies froze. Yes, your boogies. They frooze. Really. Anyway, back to the ride. After a while you began to dance in the wagon from joy. You danced and danced. Soon you began to jump out of the wagon, higher and higher. On one big jump you actually jumped onto the roof of a neighboring house. As you fell through the roof you realized that the home belonged to your evil arch-enemy, the baby with six toes and one really big eyebrow over both eyes. This babies name is Septabrow. Upon your arrival Septabrow shot flames from his diaper as a warning, but your ice boogies (bet you wondered why I mentioned them) shot out of your nose with such force as to pierce septabrows clothes and pin him against the living room wall. Once this happened Septabrow shot flames from his diaper again and shot up into the air like a rocket, where he abruptly collided with a weasel that was also having problems with fiery indigestion. Upon this collision they both exploded in a cloud of methane and green smoke. I could almost swear I heard the weasel cackle "Oh, what a world, what a world...". Upon your retrieval we finished the wagon ride, and you promptly napped happily while green smoke drifted away on the wind.
