There aren't really that many One day, on the way to school Deciding if she should get in the pool On our way to our anniversary dinner/play (no we didn't take Saha) For our 7th anniversary, we went to see "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" This was a sign at the show One day at dinner Here are some additional Saha poses

Here's another installment but I've decided to take this to Twitter, so if you'd like to follow, it's @StuffSahaSays. I'll link the feed to the blog soon. 9/14/12 (Allen has taken out the ingredients to make quesadillas and has started preparing them for Saha's dinner) Saha: Daddy, you making quesadillas? Allen: Yes, I'm making cheese tortillas. Saha: YEAH, QUESADILLAS!!!!! (as she screams loudly and starts running around) Allen: I didn't know that she wanted them that badly. (I'm sitting in the basement studying and that exchanged just cracked me up) Allen (to me): What was the big laugh? Me: Laughing at Saha. 9/17/12 After dinner, we sat in a circle and sang a song that Saha sings at school every morning: "Mommy came to school today, school today, school today, mommy came to school today, stand up and say Hooray!" "Hooray!" "Daddy came to school today, school today, school today, daddy came to school today, s...

Here's the latest round... 8/12/2012 at dinner "Dad, save some for me" (in reference to the bowl of guacamole that Allen was scooping from) Allen's response (to me) "It's amazing what she strings together." 8/15/2012 after books, before bed, in Saha's room. "Saha would you like to go pee pee one more time?" "Yes. Mommy, you stay right there, sit down. Daddy, stay right there, sit down." (She says with a pointed finger near her face) (Saha walks to the bathroom and then comes back) "Turn on light." "But Saha, you said that I have to stay right here." "Mommy, turn on light" "Saha, what do you say?" "Please." "Saha, say the whole thing." "Mommy, turn on light, please" (I get up and turn on the light in the bathroom) "Go sit down, mommy." (I go back and sit down on the floor in her room, trying not to crack up) (we hear pee in the toilet...

We drove up to Philly the weekend after the 4th to run the Color Run, and to see the Bourdons. Priya and Mike also drove down for the weekend I got to meet Kyrsten's brother Kit for the first time (and Allen got to see him for the first time since Kyrsten's wedding!). I took off that Friday and Saha and I went to a children's concert at Wolf Trap. The artist was Elizabeth Mitchell, who has some great kids' songs and sings folksy music. She also performed at our friends Nelson and Gisel's wedding and are friend with them. The concert was outside in an amphitheater in the woods. Saha had a great time and it was about the right length for a 2 year old's attention span. Doing the motions with one of the songs Running around and dancing with some other kids near the end. We got to Kyrsten's pretty mid-afternoon and were able to get some pool time in before dinner. Saha was having a great time jumping off the diving board. She did it a bunch of times....

I think I just missed this post from a couple months ago. Saturday we went for a walk over to the river and took some fun pictures at this old anchor in Oronoco Bay Park. For Father's Day, Allen wanted to go on a bike ride and have a picnic, so that's what we did. We rode up to The Yards Park, where we have been a few times before. We picked up sandwiches from Potbellies. Saha loves the wading pool and the fountains there. She's also really good at making friends and found a little boy willing to share his green bucket with her. She fell asleep in the trailer about 20 minutes before we got home and we couldn't get to go back to sleep once we brought her in, even though we tried. Finally, we went into her room and she had done this, so we decided to give up on a nap for the day.

The weekend after we returned from our trip to Northern Europe, Saha had her last swimming lesson, so I went with her, since I hadn't had a chance to be in the pool with her yet for a lesson.

Here are some random pics from June: Pizza at Rustico with Dad Just being silly. Waiting to go into the splash park.
