Audrey likes to go for a nice after-dinner walk around the block with her dad, and before they go, she selects a hat and handbag for herself, as well as a hat for Scott. Scott won the esteem of other dads on our street for walking around the neighborhood in a felt pirate hat.
Here's a short exchange I had with Audrey tonight that illustrates a certain emerging element of her personality. We have a little plastic kiddie slide that's about two feet high, and until recently Audrey always sat down upon reaching the top. No more.
Me: Audrey, please sit down when you are on the slide.
Audrey: (smiling, standing) No!
Me: (adopting firm tone) Yes, you need to sit down. We SIT DOWN when we are on the slide.
Audrey: (still smiling) Audrey don't.
She don't do anything except what she wants, apparently. I think this is why Scott will oftentimes put his arm around my shoulder and say lovingly, "She is just exactly like you, sweetie."

After noticing Audrey's little apron, from Kristen's toddler days, I think I notice a new piece of furniture in the background...???
