Moxie knew it was bedtime and decided to put on a show. We caught a short amount of it and are sharing it with you here. Enjoy.

On Sunday, January 4th, just after nap time Moxie and Bibi came to the hospital to meet Keen. Strider met them at the hospital entrance and Moxie came with a gift for her new baby sister (a soft monkey lovie). Moxie was a little nervous to be in a new place but as soon as she saw Keen in the basinet she ran to her and asked to hold her. She wasn’t shy about adjusting the baby’s hat, playing with her feet, and didn’t mind that Keen fussed a little.
Recently we got Moxie (and Strider) a pair of trainer chop sticks. She is already a pro. I actually think she ate more of her dinner because of how proud she was of her success. She can actually do it better than her dad.
Here’s our adventure in family pumpkin carving. It’s really great having Grandpa and Grandma here to help. Moxie wouldn’t touch the pumpkin guts but it was still fun.
Moxie’s teacher posts pictures regularly documenting the fun and cuteness of 2-year-old preschool. Sometimes she makes really weird faces. Ok. Most of the time.
Moxie is having a great time at preschool. She’s adjusting to the schedule and playing with big kids in the afternoons and rules in the classroom. Each week her wonderful teacher posts photos from class. I loved these two:
We are building a dog run in the back yard. Moxie is a really big help with things. Almost as big a help as our super friend Laura who’s here working full time AND helping us build a fence.
Mox usually ends up in our bed between 5-6 am most mornings. It is a nice time to snuggle and (try to) snooze a bit longer. I’m terrible at it. Strider and Mox, however, are pros. I ruined this photo with a bad crop job but the point of it is: they are totally asleep and totally up in each other’s personal space.
Moxie is having such a great time at preschool. She’s started going to the extended day program (1:30-5:30) where she plays with some pre-k kids. They are 4 years old and much bigger and faster. She loves big kids and they have decided to “take care of her.” It seems like a great experience. Here are some pictures of the last two weeks.
Moxie continues to LOVE chalk. This a picture that Strider took but Google made awesome. Anyone else seen the amazing work of Google Awesome? Holy Awesome.
Anyway, Moxie loves chalk. Today (not the day this picture was taken) she chose an egg shaped piece of chalk and decided it was a baby. She carried it under her shirt as she walked up and down the sidewalk, patting it and telling me to “shhh, baby sleeping.”
She really does have a holistic love of the medium.
