It's all about Gaelle



Robin and Gaelle were hanging out one day last week and Robin somehome managed to fall asleep. When he woke up Gaelle had done her hair by herself. She managed to get the little rubber bands in at least 5 spots and she braided those as well as braiding loose hair. Robin didn't have the heart to take it out, so he just take pictures.



Another angle of the new hairdo.



Robin has been working on the basement and got brave one day. He put a paint shirt on Gaelle and let her go. She loved it and amused herself for a good chunk of time.



Another father daughter moment. Robin washed the car and allowed Gaelle to "help". She actually did great and somehow managed to listen to Robin and obey his instructions.



Gaelle really does have a strong work ethic. She loves to help and thinks it's fun to pitch in with the dirty jobs.

Gaelle has some very strong food preferences. We still aren't having much luck with veggies with her and so last week when we had a completely vegetarian dish, we knew there would be some resistance... and there was. But I gave her just a taste of the veggies along with some rice. She mixed it all up and ate it. After a few bites she kept saying, "Mama... umpty." After several guesses, we came up with the correct translation... "Mama... yummy."

The kids have quite a bit of fun praying. And we have lots of fun listening to them. This week Gaelle was praying her long list and she said, "Thank you Jesus for Mama travay... Kaylin travay... Papa travay...MEH... Papa pa travay." And she proceeded to laugh. As did we. Because she just knows Robin as Mr. Mom. So her prayer of "Thank you Jesus for Mama work... Kaylin work... Papa work... NO... Papa doesn't work." She hasn't seen Robin go off to work, so her little mistake just cracked her up.

I think she did a pretty super job on her hair! What talent!

If I were home I would be backing Gaelle on the no veggies.
