Tidbits:
  • Getting ready for bath time, Natalie looks carefully at my swallow tattoos, then looks down at her own chest. "Where my birds?"
  • Natalie is enamored with the hens. She loves to throw them food, check for eggs, "chase chickens" and try to "hug" them.
  • Natalie loved Halloween. She held out her bag and said, "trick or treat" and "thank you" very politely.
  • She calls me and Jenna "you guys."
  • She thinks that it's hilarious to call things the wrong name. "Good girl, daddy," she tells me. "You good girl."
