Summertime.

I totally pulled a rookie mom move and went on a 15 mile bike ride (up and down the Hiawatha trail in Idaho and Montana in the middle of the wilderness) with Tsetse and without any extra diapers or wipes and yes of course she totally did! Thanks for creeks that still flow in August to give a certain someone a bath. After pondering the solution to this conundrum I did what any reasonable mom would do and, after digging a hole for burying the contents of the diaper, I thought that I would just reuse the diaper, after all it was just a little dirty. Well I just could not do it, I could not put it back on her so I decided she was just going to have to go without. The first picture shown here is Tsetse in the clothes we had because - that's right I did not bring a change of clothes.
Now all she needs is a hunting riffle because she's totally ready with the outfit.

Where has the time gone?

We are so lucky to be a part of your journey Tsetse (Aka Little Loretta). You're gloriously independent, attentive, focused, funny, lovable and determined.

Loretta

She's a gun totting, glue stick smokin, baby doll.
*my dear friends made me realize maybe this isn't an entirely appropriate public post;) this after a totally unrelated conversation about how to nurturing your children so that they make good decisions even without laws in place to prohibit them from doing stupid things and well little Miss Loretta please know that smoking glue sticks would probably catch you on fire and unless you're hunting or you become a police officer lady totting guns would really make your uncles and Grandpa Mark proud but is probably completely unnecessary... with that said I am inappropriate at times and I kinda like it that way...cheers
