This year I'm vowing to take some more pictures of my own kids (sans iPhone!). 

They are my absolute toughest subjects.  I maybe get their attention for 10 minutes and there is always a bribe of some sorts involved.  (aka my 2 1/2 yr old has chewed gum!) If you have been around her or know her at all - this is SO her!! I offered a toy and she poo-pooed that and said straight faced "I want gum".  My 5 yr old doesn't even ask for or chew gum.  But Mallory, well she is way ahead of herself.  Sometimes I have to remember how young she is because she is wise beyond her years.  She doesn't miss a beat.  She is spicy and sassy and she totally acts like my brother (if any of you know him! haha).  She is one of a kind but I wouldn't have it any other way and I know that I will love her strong-mindedness later in life because she will stick up for herself like no other.  My boy on the other hand, he is laid back and as easy going as they come.  Total opposite these two.
