Look at how big my barracuda is!!!! AUGH! I am incredibly overdue for an update -- there is so much.

1) the Barracuda went to the dentist for the first time

2) she now has a pet rat

3) she is in a preschool that is run by a yogic nun

4) we are in a new house

5) her Dad and I are friends but are no longer married

6) she has never had a hair cut

7) she loves the garden and asked this morning about affids and ladybugs

8) when we rode rides at the fair she said she "just wants to go fast mama!"...yikes!

9) she sings all the time

10) rocks are cooler than sticks, but both are better than anything else to play with

11) Coraline. on repeat....

12) she is turning 4 in 4 months

13) she knows when her birthday is and has requested a pinata

14) she likes crab meat, kashi cereal, quinoa, and most vegetables

15) her curiosity gets her in trouble sometimes

16) we still rock in the rocker in the morning to wake up and she is, for those moments, still my baby barracuda

17) single parenting is hard. respect and admiration to those who don't lose their minds

18) she met a troll in Seattle

19) hopscotch is also "runscotch" & "skipscotch"

20) she is still the best thing I have ever done
