SteelyKid is in a bit of a "no pictures" phase at the moment, which makes it kind of difficult to get weekly shots. Hence the run of Toddler Blogging pictures without Appa in them-- when we pick Appa up, she runs away.
Thus, this shot with the color balance all wonky (I could do a better job of cleaning it up, but I'm lazy), because the flash hadn't warmed up yet, and she started freaking out before I could get a better shot. It does, however, show the finest balloon animal you can get from "Mr. Twisty," who does his act at the Greenmarket every now and then:
That's a monkey climbing a tree to get a banana, per SteelyKid's request. Well, ok, what she actually asked for was a doggie climbing a tree because he was being chased by a dinosaur, combining the requests of the previous four children, but the monkey seemed more plausible, and she was very happy with it. It also serves very well as a head-bonker, provided I duck down a little bit.
Hopefully, the camera-shy phase will pass soon, or else I'm going to need to cultivate some paparazzi skills...
