Yes, that's Pluto on her cheek.

Donald Duck is on the other side, in case you're wondering.

We've had some rough times lately. I snapped this picture of Mari as she was watching her "One Year Home" video. She told me that she wanted to "be a baby" and "not be Mari anymore." What a struggle between dependence and independence. I'm amazed and frightened by her level of empathy and emotion. 2010: 01/26
Monkey bread.
YUM!
Yes, Mari helped make it....helped a lot actually.

Probably the worst night of our lives, behavior-wise.
Can't imagine it has anything to do with the increasing frequency of her nebs.

Playing alphabet game on her LeapFrog computer.

During Playgroup with a Purpose

Mari got in trouble and I took her to her room for a couple minutes, Madi got very upset about this and needed to come along for some calm down time too.

Mari was pretty sick this day with a bad cold, respiratory infection.

She is actually throwing a tantrum because she said she was "too sick to take a nap."

I think the picture proves that she needs a nap really badly!
