Walking With Hazel: Yogurt All Day Long

Today started out early, with Hazel actually dragging Dad out of bed by the arm so that he could make yogurt with oatmeal for breakfast. Then we argued over who would take the recycling out to the alley, and ended up doing it together, with Hazel carrying a lot of the smaller pieces of cardboard by herself. Then we discovered that "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" is the new way of saying "More yogurt, please!".

Then we explained to Hazel that if she wanted to sit on the top of the couch and watch everything outside through the living room window, she had to put some clothes on.

Of course, that was followed by a fight over whether or not the stroller should go on the couch, which wasn't so much about the stroller and more about Hazel's insistence that she could stand on the stroller while it was on top of the cushions. Then we discovered that "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" was also the new way of saying, "Daddy, pick me up!"

Then we went outside and did rubbings of tree bark with chalk and crayons, and then we drew animals on them and then put them up in Hazel's room. They didn't look anything like tree bark when we were done, but we still liked them, so shut it.

Then we watched all the parts of Spider-Man where he's swinging through the city, but skipped all the scary parts, which meant that we watched it for a bout five minutes.

Then our friend Sherri came over to visit, who used to work with Dad back when he would hit things with U-locks downtown, and we had a very nice visit wherein Hazel did nothing but tie Sherri's hair up in knots and eat Sherri's Timbits, and then Haze fell asleep while tying up Sherri's hair so now it's naptime which means that Dad has to figure out something for dinner that isn't chicken noodle soup or yogurt, so here's the song of the day.
