Hot Mess, Small Style
Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 1:46PM I'm pretty sure this Small Style post was doomed from the start.
One shot, one poorly exposed, entirely underwhelming and frankly kind of terrible shot, and my camera battery died. Again. Because I'm just that organized.
See?
Wednesdays are play-date days, so Stella and I spent a couple hours by the pool with her Japanese friend and classmate. Because they're both two, they spent the first hour and a half giving each other side-eye, and mostly ignoring the other's existence. Until suddenly they realized that playing is awesome, and it was all running, and screaming and FWIEND-CHAN, come here! FWIEND-CHAN PWAY. There was climbing, and stone carrying, and imaginary pizza making, and much giggling. And also much sadness that eventually it was time to go home. See you, Fwiend-chan.
Thursdays are school days. A certain someone was so excited to go to school this morning where she could pway swide wit Fwiend-chan, that she woke before the sun. I let her out of her bed and tired to be as unconscious as possible, until my sweet, excited little girl bought me a tee-shirt and shorts and told me it was time to go to get dressed and go to school.
It was 5:30 AM. School starts at 9:00. No matter how you slice it, it was most certainly not time to go to school.
I though I could redeem this post with post-school pictures. But nope. She came home dressed like this:
having soaked though all two changes of clothes in her backpack.
Oh dear.
And also, Sweet Miss was in no mood for pictures.
I say if you can't sand the heat, get out of the fire. Or, perhaps more aptly, if you can't stand the tired, DONT GET UP SO G-D EARLY OMG CKCX)IEF()EKLKOP@O!!(@(@(@(!~~~~~!!!!
Humph. That's kind of how I felt at 5:30 this morning.
Stella wore:
Tee: Tea Collection, (psssst, they're having Buy One Get One on newborn layette. Use Code BABYBOGO. Go)
Shorts: Baby Gap
Shoes, Infernal freaking Purple Shoes: Native
Green Pants? Tights? Who Really Knows????! School's Own.

ohhhhh I HEAR you.. why do they get up so blasted early just to be cranky and nutso.. !!! But that last shot? Still adorable.
i just had to wake Lily up for school and i hate doing it. doesn't happen often but it does happen. Stella is adorable even when crying. hope she's taking a nap. and you too
Ha ha! I'm dealing with the same thing right now! Avery got up at 6:15, and we're getting ready to go to school now, at 8:45. And she just came to me sucking her thumb and says she's tired! Oh well, she's going anyway! Love that last pic- perfect picture of a toddler!
Is it wrong of me to say she looks adorable even when she's flipping out?! Because she does.
And what is with this 5ish wake up time? Ava did the same thing this week.
Oh, we've had many early morning wake-ups with Finley and, yes, I agree with what you say! Last week she woke up at 5 and was exhausted and grumpy for ballet at 10:15. I'll have to sign up for the 6am class. Oh wait...
I actually love these real life pictures!
I WANT THOSE GREEN TIGHTS!!! I'm seriously in love with the cuteness of them and I am so happy she loves her school so much.
there is nothing better than a grumpy S phot shoot. i mean that in the best way possible. so grouchy! i think her green frog pants are "kiddums" they sell them at the red deer farmer's market for like five bucks, so i'm pretty sure they cost about 49 cents to make. awesome and stretchy nonetheless. also i know i always comment about other posts in the wrong post but i'm going to do it again anyway. as far as hiring a nanny. do NOT feel bad at ALL! i take April to her dayhome three times a week - one so i can teach yoga, and the other two times so i can DO the yoga. with no guilt. you need to take care of you too! xx
