We took Genevieve to a couple of children's museums this past weekend. She is probably still young to fully appreciate them, but that didn't stop her from having a good time.
In other news, I attended Genevieve's first Parent/Teacher Conference today. Yes, I know that she is only two. It seems that Genevieve has the teachers completely fooled: "She is such a lovely child! She always listens, does as she is told, and plays very well with others." Guess she just saves the tantrums for me. ;-) They also said that she is very smart, speaks very well, seems very advanced for her age, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Speaking of, well, speaking, Genevieve had me very confused last night. She wanted to know why Daddy was going upstairs to get the "human fire". I told her that I was pretty curious about that, too. I was going to ask her if she saw him with any virgins and/or knives, but thought better of it. Her Daddy came downstairs I realized what she was asking about when I saw him carrying the humidifier.
It snowed here for the first time this season. Also for the first time, Genevieve was really excited about it. She was running around the house screaming, "That's so cool!", "Look how pretty!", "That's awesome!", "G-vieve go tell Dada it's snowing!", "DADA!!!! It's snowing!!!", "Where's the snowman?", "Mommy, where's the snowman?", "Mommy where did the snowman go?!?", "Mommy go find the snowman." I tried to explain to Genevieve that it had just started snowing and there wasn't enough out there to make a snowman. She assumed that I just didn't understand the question. I told her that if there was enough snow after class that she and I would make one. This seemed to calm her. Too bad the snow was mostly gone before class was even over.
Noodles was spayed and de-clawed this week. It seemed like such a good idea at the time, but she looks so pitiful now. Genevieve is very glad that Noodles is back from the doctor but is very unhappy with the cone around her head. "Mommy take off the hat." "Kitty no like hat; mommy take it off." "Kitty NO LIKE IT. Mommy take it OFF." I've had to stop Genevieve several times from trying to take the cone off of the cat herself. Thankfully we only have to do this for two weeks.
