September 13, 2005 I'm not making this up 
Just now, in the basement, while I was reading my comments, I looked over to see Frances standing in her playroom with her foam phone and a crayon. We have a rule that the crayons stay in here (where I can keep an eye on them). So I said, "Oh no, Frances, bring the crayon back in here." She did. "OK, now put it down." She did. "Now you can go back to play with your toys in the other room." She did. World's Best Baby Ever, Bar None, I'm telling you.

What kind of pills are you giving her that make her so sweet, and where can I get them? For me, not Ivy. Ivy's already sweet, but I am a grouch. Maybe I just need to stop taking my jerk pills. Anyway, Frances really is amazing. But you knew that already. Posted by: Casey at September 14, 2005 8:54 AM
R2K, I didn't do a damned thing. She just came out that way. And I am so, so grateful. It just amazes me, how sweet and easy-going and obedient she is. Isn't she supposed to be getting to the terrible twos? We haven't even had a single temper tantrum yet. Not one. I wish I could take the credit, but I can't. I mean, that thing with the crayon? She did it all evening long. If I saw her about to wander out of the room with the crayon, all I had to sya was, "Frances, remember what I said about the crayons. They stay in here." And she'd put them down and then leave. Sometimes it was only in the room by an inch, but it was in the room. Posted by: Andrea at September 14, 2005 11:16 AM
