I LOVE this. Anna must have asked this question a half-dozen times this morning. The sentences are really rolling now. This is so much fun. We're just a couple steps away from the cliche barrage of "Why?!! Why? But why?!!" When we answer her, she tries to repeat our answer in this adorable little voice and her inflection is always a question. So cute.
My nephew Kole and my dad visited this weekend. My sister came, too, but we didn't see her enough, so you can't tell from the photos. Boo! Here's one photo; there are many more here:

This morning Anna and I were talking about breakfast. I told her I was going to have a muffin, and she said I could not. I said "I am the boss of me, you can't tell me that I can't have muffins for breakfast." She responded with "Anna boss of Anna?" And I told her that, sadly, she is not the boss of Anna, but she will be all too soon. For now, mommy is the boss of Anna. She thought about it for a second and asked "Anna boss of Ben?" Sure, baby girl, you try to be the boss of Ben. (We'll see how that goes.)
Our neighbors (Maddie-Tori-Simon) invited us to a bbq on the beach today and the weather was phenomenal. Baker Beach was so crowded it looked like Southern California. So many people, so much sun. More photos are coming from Tori's camera, but here's one horrible one from my camera phone. You can see the beach has full, gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I thought maybe we had avoided the predominant trait of the terrible-twos when at about 2 she was saying "yeah" more than "no." I was wrong. We just have a late-bloomer. Now, she says "no" absolutely all the time. Constantly. For no reason at all. And for every reason. All the time. Gawd.
Anna says: Don't hate mommy. And don't stifle your artistic talents because she asked a stupid question.
