Boo!


Boo!
Boo!
Not to be confused with the Boo boo.
If you've spend any time with my daughter you will soon hear Boo!
When she gets the slightest bit bored or thinks you need some waking up she will put her little pointer finger up to her mouth and say Shhh. She then sneaks up on you... giggling the whole way there. When she thinks you're not looking she will jump out and yell Boo!
We of course humor her... trying to contain our own giggles as to not spoil her fun.
But this posting is about BOO!
Boo as in Halloween. You've asked, emailed and even called to say.
"Hey... Mommy where are those Halloween pictures?"
OK... ok... so here's the deal. You've asked what was she?
She was going to be a Fairy Princess.. but the weather was too cold for an organza, spaghetti strap dress. So since Daddy is somewhat of a cheese head being from Wisconsin and all ... Tamara was a Green Bay Packer Cheerleader this year. Before you ask... Yes we just happen to have a 3T uniform hanging in the closet. ;o) complete with pompoms.

Daddy holds her hand while Trick or Treating Halloween night. At first she didn't want to do it and he had to carry her from door to door. After the 4th house she was dragging Daddy across the lawns. Pretty cute stuff ;o) Tamara avoided all the homes that had dogs... Yup still afraid of them.

OK... next we had our first snow day. Early this year... much too early.
Tamara watches it snow after Mommy picks her up from Preschool.
I don't think she's had much expose to snow in Tbilisi.. if any?
She seemed fascinated by it and is taking it all in .. in stride.
~~
Snow day.. activity.
Tamara loves to clean. Yeah... I know she will probably out grow this by her 4th Birthday.
Below she moves her little chairs around in her room making room to vacuum with a very light weight rechargeable sweeper.
Fixing little Anna (named after her Georgian Nanny in Tbilisi)

Her technique will need improvement before she becomes a "real" Mommy herself.

"OK... Stay"

" Just a little more Mommy"
It's hard to get her to stop.
~~
A distraction... "lets take some pictures"

"Smile Lily"

"Gotcha"

"Look this way Lily"

"Did you see that?"
~~
Time to go out. Tamara was lint rolling Mommy. It adds several minutes to our departure but she really likes doing it?
Tamara wearing her snow flake sweater.. finally. Mommy wouldn't let her until it snowed. ;o)

A warm and cozy evening at home.

Too cute .. NO?
~~
Just being cute.
~~
Too cold to go out and play. :o(

Helping in the kitchen.

~~
Being cute again.

I needed some close ups and we had a photo shoot.
I thought I'd add this one.. to show what we actually have to do sometimes to get "the picture".
Daddy.. good sport that he is.. helps to position Tamara.
I love the look on his face here... sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
