<\/p>\nSteelyKid is seventeen months old today, and how does she celebrate? By scrubbing the floors in the mud room:<\/p>\n

She’s not quite as good at telling us what she does<\/em> want, alas, leading to the occasional meltdown when Kate and I don’t cycle through the possibilities quickly enough…<\/p>\n She’s also started dancing, which I will do my best to get on video soon.
