Mantra

For most of Natalie's short life, we've noticed that she has a strong notion that if it's good enough for Wyatt, it's good enough for her. In this week's installment, I give you Exhibit A: neighborhood bike riding.

Most days of the week, you can find a pack of kids riding around and around and around and around in the cul-de-sac. They often take breaks to dart into someone's house for a drink or someone's yard for different play, but they always return to their bikes in the cul-de-sac. Nat is now among them.

And Exhibit B: soccer time.

Wyatt has his first soccer practice of the season this week and little miss decided that if he needs cleats and soccer socks, well then so does she. Luckily his old shoes fit and he was happy to share from his stash of socks.

She's a real princess, that one.
