(Taken at our local Starbucks -- Alex insisted we visit after school today. To clarify, Alex isn't drinking coffee in this photograph, she's drinking tea: 1/2 cup hot water, a teabag for about 1 second, just to make it slightly brown, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar. She is, after all, a Brit's daughter.)

'So, Al, what's your favourite word today?'
'Christmas!'
'Nah, you can't use that one. You used it before. Can you give me another?'
'Birthday party!'
'Birthday party? Alex, don't you have another one?'
'TRICK-OR-TREATING!!'

I'm sensing a theme with her words-of-the-day. So instead, today I just took a picture of her while she came up with her word(s) of the day.
