Last night Syd decided she is a big Kid. “Me! Big Kid!” We celebrated her transformation by building a castle. This one is 100% Sydney’s design and construction. She Big Kid.

Sydney has her own ideas about style, too. Here she is playing dress up with Mom’s tank top.
…I’m sensing a trend here. Leg warmers. Lots of pink. Drapey necklines and plenty of cotton jersey. Good Lord, my daughter is paying homage to the 80s. This, folks, is nature vs. nurture at work.

Hugh Jackman is teaching “his son” about boxing and Real Steel. Ryan Johnson is teaching our Syd about dancing and Real Style. Look out.

I spent a little money on new clothes last week, since I’m amping up my freelance work and need (a) clothes that fit well (since I weigh less now then I did when I got pregnant) and (b) are presentable for client meetings and networking events. It feels good to get dressed every day. In something apart from my usual stretched out grey t-shirt and jeans with Sydney food tossed onto them.

We took a day trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens today. It was bright and cool, and Sydney walked through the gardens all by herself most of the day. Right here, though, she and Daddy wanted to hold hands. It was a little magical to witness. Next time, I guess she’ll be on the right. Er, the other right.
