2nd day of school/little miss clean...

today when i went to pick K up from school her teacher told me, "today she missed you a little but she got over it pretty quickly." it made me feel good to a) know that she does think of me when i'm gone and b) she's resilient and recovers quickly. her teacher also said, "she really likes to wash her hands. we washed them before snack and after but i think she wanted to wash them more". that made me laugh. anyone who know dill well knows that he is a germophobe and washes his hands constantly. i guess like daddy, like daughter...

K was doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing (surprise, surprise) so i was calling her name to let her know i didn't want her to. she turned around and said "don't say my name" WTH! i had to hold back from yelling and laughing at the same time. why does my 1 year old think she can tell me not to call her...
