Bossy

Even when she's bossy,she's adorable and funny. She now likes to tell Tom and I to "stop talking!" (as do many others, I'm sure). We're also ordered to "No read magazine" and "No talking on the phone." I think she wants our undivided attention and can now ask for it. We've also been asked to "Stop singing." After being ordered around like this for a few days, we turned the tables on her and told her to "Stop talking" and "Zip it." She laughs, but I think she's gotten the message. After Thanksgiving we took her on a road trip to Sante Fe and she was better behaved and more patient than my dad. Here she (and a few band members) are rocking out to the guitar she got for her birthday. Although Tom really wanted that guitar, he's learned to share. He's a good sharer.

The Birthday Girl

Like her mother likes to do, Selby celebrated her birthday numerous times this year. It started with cupcakes and some gifts at Aunt Molly's house on Nov. 23rd (the day before the big 2). Then more cupcakes at her school during a shared bday celebration with her friend Ruby on Nov. 24th. And then more (you guessed it) cupcakes and a lot more gifts during a bday dinner with the her two grandmas. By the last celebration she had gotten the hang of blowing out the candles, and getting gifts. Here's a video of her getting a car (not a real one, duh) from ammy. She was pretty excited.
