Jammies, Andies Candies & Animation.
Posted on December 15, 2008
Well if you know us and our little family even just a little bit you’ll know that our Kate is quite an animated little thing. Her facial expressions speak volumes! I really love this set of photos because it combines so many of the things that makes up our Kate.
For starters: COMFORT.
Kate is a girl who fully embraces the wonder of comfort! Which is why she doesn’t hang around the house in anything but jammies. She even is known to change her jammies a couple times a day depending on how they feel at the time. She has more pajama sets than anything else in her wardrobe and that’s just the way she likes it! So as you’ll notice here she is rocking one of the many jammie sets (and thankfully the top and bottoms actually match this time).
She is also enjoying a special treat she is quite fond of: ANDIES CANDIES.
This is a girl who LOVES mint flavored ANYTHING! She would rather chow down on Altoids or tick tacks instead of M&M’s or Skittles. So this new discovery of a delicious minty center sandwiched between two chocolate bars is pure heaven for our girl.
And then finally: ANIMATION.
She has this one expression that looks insanely mean, but it’s *usually* only used in a very joking context. Now yes, if she gets VERY angry it has been known to spills out then as well, but overall she uses it almost like her “fake mean” expression. She originally created it this Summer at my parents house to call the goats over to her, she’d yell out, “Mere goat, mere goat” (come here goat) and then somehow the expression was born at that time. We kept hoping it might go away, cause frankly she looks almost demonic when she does it, but no matter all the angles we’ve tried it seems that it’s here to stay…so since it’s become such a big part of her I decided to snap some photos of it. So enjoy ladies and gents…this is Kate’s “mere goat” face:


she is sooo cute! such an animated little girl!
I love reading your blog, looking at your pics and laughing at your jokes. You are very entertaining as is your beautiful daughter, with her many expressions including the “mean, mere goat” face!
She is such a riot! Reminds me a LOT of my Gracie!
I love the scrunchie face! You have a way of capturing those precious toddler faces that just speak volumes to mothers and mean so much to their personalities.
mmmmmmeeeer GOAT
