Natasha and Lawrence have been taking daily outings discovering the beauty of Provence. They have been renting a car for a week and taking day trips, leaving their bundle of joy, Annika with us for the whole day. Annika is a delightful child but ....oh my... our daily exercise did not get us in shape to deal with Annika. She jabbers as she crawls from one prohibited area to the next. I hadn't realized Jeff had noticed her jabbering until I heard him say: "watch out, taca-taca is heading for the electric fan."
Annika has definite likes and dislikes and she terrorizes Niko
, no end. He puts up with her good naturedly but tries to stay out of taca-taca's way. Notice her leg is blurry in the picture? That is because she is multi-tasking: kicking Niko while she drinks her milk. She is strong willed and will be a challenge for her parents. Payback? Actually my girls were a lot easier to keep entertained. For example, Annika knows if we try to shortchange her with a non functioning remote control. She prefers to mess with the ones that we need for the TV. We think (hope) that when she can talk and walk she will be easier to deal with, but I am already envisioning a trial lawyer pint size.
