Scarlett Bowls for the First Time
This summer she’s trying a lot of new spots, it seems.

Scarlett during April Play Time
I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a long time – Scarlett finally plays on her own, allowing me to photograph her. It’s much harder to capture the awesome moments if you’re also playing along with your little one. I have lots of spontaneous photos of her extended cousins (and even my adopted brothers)…

Scarlett Draws a Human
I know there’s a fine line between a parent being impressed by their child and a parent bragging. Nonetheless, I thought this drawing Scarlett did was pretty good for a 3 year old.

Scarlett Plays Catch with her Glove for the First Time
Danielle bought Scarlett her first baseball glove and I was curious to see how her first attempt at catch would go. Here is a video of that first try: And some stills: What do you think? Sports in her future? Or nerd like her dad?

Scarlett Asks to be Recorded
Scarlett asked to talk in my field recorder, but she called it a lightsaber. “Daddy, can I talk in your lightsaber?” Here’s what came of that:

Cutting
I asked my wife if she could show me how to cut a mango. This is what Scarlett said: You use scissors! And you cut! Open. Close. Open. Close. Put your fingers in the holes. Open. Close. And then I tried to recreate the situation while recording it. Here’s what she said with my prompting:

Conversation with Scarlett
I’m trying to see if Scarlett knows her five senses. Me: what do you use to hear? To listen? Scarlett: headphones! Me: OK, what do you use to see? Scarlett: telescope! At that point I am thrown off by both the inventiveness and incorrectness of her answers and give up for the time being.

For more or less the first time since mid-June, last night Scarlett slept the entire night without needing her blanket fixed, her hair-tie fixed, or a cup of water. It was nice to get some rest.

Scarlett Dancing to I Fight Dragons
I was explaining bands to Scarlett and she wanted to see an example. The only concert movie I had was from the I Fight Dragons Chicago show. I put that on and she rocked out; And asked me to dance with her. The first video (blurry because she’s so close, I think) she is spinning…

A Conversation with Scarlett Today
Me: Daddy is a? Scarlett: BOY! Me: Scarlett is a? Scarlett: Girl! No! Princess!

Scarlett and Birds
Don’t worry birds, I will feed you. Dad, feed the birds. -Scarlett speaking to the birds in the woods behind our house (and then to me) a couple weeks ago

Scarlett Sings Along to Yankee Doodle
Well, more like finishing each verse, but it’s still pretty fun.

Scarlett’s Second Halloween
I know this was months ago, but I started writing this back then and just got the opportunity to finish it recently. This year was Scarlett’s second Halloween, but the first one where she had some kind of a clue about what was going on. The previous year we’d dressed her up as Toad, but…
