Our village (read: house) has been razed by a conquering, pillaging, and plundering toddler. At 33 months old, 37 inches tall, and an impressive 25 pounds, Xiao Mei has earned the name of the most notorious, feared (and loved!) invader of all time. Genghis Kahn. Our little Genghis sweeps across the steppe spreading toys, clothes, food, mom's shoes, and kitchen utensils in her wake. She laughs in the face of sleep, climbs every counter, and breaks through all child locks, including the lock on the door. 
She is a master of languages (thanks Dora and Kai Lan!), an athlete, and an artist. She is both loved and feared (feared mostly by Freya, our poor cat). She keeps life busy, exciting, and out of control. She is the cure for overconfidence, self-reliance, and a sense of order in the universe.
She will make history.

She and Gavin could be a power couple! I tell myself that Gavin will grow up and cure cancer or something...if I can keep him alive long enough to enter college.
So darling!! I love that you posted this. :)
She is so stinkin cute. Aren't kids fun. I don't know how they can make such huge messes in 2.3 seconds. It always seems to happen as soon as I am done cleaning?
