Refers to self as Kiki, to me as Kiki’s mother, flies around on the broomstick, says she’s got deliveries to make. </p> <p>-Picking dandelions. This has become a daily activity. When they first appeared, she picked them and said “Finally I have some color in my life!” (from Gus Was A Gorgeous Ghost). So true. </p> <p>-Doesn’t follow directions. In gymnastics class. Or any class we have ever taken. In other words, doesn’t do as she’s told. Trying to see this as the spirited actions of a free thinking young punk rock girl rather than as a major pain in the ass.</p>http://pinkcollar.tumblr.com/post/49934020500http://pinkcollar.tumblr.com/post/49934020500Wed, 08 May 2013 09:19:18 -0500“What the hell is that?” - Maybelle’s first swearhttp://pinkcollar.tumblr.com/post/47659092939http://pinkcollar.tumblr.com/post/47659092939Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:09:31 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/373f22a15fd7c9b2ba5f0d422dbee798/tumblr_mkwg4yYQ7Y1qztjano1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>31 months old.
