I need a baby sitter! Teaching piano is starting to feel like running a circus.


Case in Point: Lydia dumped a whole box of Chex during a lesson I was teaching. At least it all landed in one nice pile.






Then, while I was cleaning it up, she learned how fun it is to crunch Chex under feet.




Combine that curiosity with her continuing obsessive need (and noisy demands) to wear whatever she finds...

Whether it's her pajamas half-on over her clothes...





Or Daddy's suit coat...


...and I am one busy momma/piano teacher! Oh, and don't forget her fast little legs that won't let her stay in one place at one time. (Hence the blurry pictures)

She sure is a cutie, though!

Lydia's getting hair!!!! She looks really cute in her little lavendar sweater. But I like the get-ups she puts together better. Oh boy are you ever in for trouble.

She is a doll. What a sense of style she has.

Maybe if your students don't practice you can consign them to babysitting hours. It could give them some motivation and get you a babysitter. Looks like a handful!

Looks like your hands are full, but I bet it is still fun (when you let it). I think we all have those moments. What a cute girl! Love the picture in Daddy's coat.
