A computer for every girl

Well, at least a keyboard!

Art by TJ

In our ongoing series (did you know it was a series?) we present this week's installment of photography with Toddler Jeneric!

Like all good artists, Toddler Jeneric works with what she knows. The original:

And again - this time with the thumb over the flash.

Toddler Jeneric is learning that some art happens by accident - but not all accidents are art!

Obstacle Course 3.0

We're upping the ante yet again! This time, Toddler Jeneric integrates a table climb with a ball bounce, hop, crawl and a daring couch-leap finish.

Bouncing Around

Toddler Jeneric was clued into a fun place to play by a friend last month and has been working hard to spread the word. She's taken a new group of people each of the last two weeks, getting more and more daring each time. The biggest challenge is an 8' climbing wall to get to the last slide on an obstacle course, which she scaled without assistance after the 3rd try.

Interlude: Pink Milk Anyone?

Toddler Jeneric enjoys the occasional bottle for chocolate or strawberry milk as her treat at the end of a well behaved grocery trip.  Her chocolate milk ran out at lunch today, so she asked for some pink milk next.  Unfazed by the fact that we didn't have any, she suggested I make some.  Since I claimed to not know how, she offered the following receipe:

Mustard
Broccoli
Lettuce

I checked if I needed any milk, and she just repeated the above three ingredients.  Anyone interested?

The Littlest Worm

Toddler Jeneric is really enjoying silly songs these days and is happy to join in with the singing. On this song, she often protests that it isn't the end of the song when you get to the "And that's the end" verse. Two warnings on the video: it is a bit long (2:24) and please ignore the mess on the table.



She also frequently requests The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, which now includes some new things for the old lady to swallow: Frogs, Bugs, Dragonflies, and Garbage Cans.
