Increasingly Terrible Twos (Glossed Over)

Molli Malou has come roaring into her terrible twos. But it’s late right now and I don’t feel like giving the girl a bad rap on her own website, so we’ll just gloss over the pigheadedness, the temper tantrums, the piercing shrieks, the howled No’s and Nej’s, the willfulness, the… but like I said, we’ll gloss over it. Same charming girl she’s always been.

Here she is touring the Frederiksberg sewer system last weekend.

In the next picture you can see she’s running toward the light filtering down from a manhole cover.

No, of course it wasn’t the sewers. Frederiksberg is too clean to even have something as messy as a sewage system. We don’t need it because we’re all so clean we don’t even…

Anyway, it’s a big oversized “Rabbit Warren” that kids can play around in. You scramble through these tunnels and pop your head up into little glass domes to see what it’s like to live as a bunny. Or something. It was at the zoo.

So was this:

She had the courage to swing like a monkey way up at that height, but not to come face-forward down the slide.

(I like the above picture because it has the iconic Zoo tower in the background.)

We saw the Tasmanian Devil that Australia gave Denmark in honor of Mary and Frederik’s wedding. Or the birth of their son. Or whatever. Molli Malou didn’t care, so there’s no reason any of us should. Molli Malou glanced at the thing indifferently and went running toward the giraffe.

We had to watch this polar bear playing with his refrigerator door for about twenty minutes, and even then I literally, no joke, had to pry Molli Malou’s fingers off the guard rail and promise we could look at pictures of the polar bear as soon as we got home.

But we both enjoyed the penguins. What kind of sick freak doesn’t enjoy the penguins?

The zoo was Saturday. Sunday was the real kickoff of the 2006 NFL season. Molli Malou was ready, thanks to a gift from her cousins.

And check the back…

As long we’re on a fashion theme:

Oh, woe unto the boys and men that fall into those eyes…

Molli Malou is getting better and better at playing with her Leap Pad, but likes it best when daddy or mor play along.

I’m really tired, so here you go: Frederiskberg Park, this afternoon, Molli and Liam. Good night!
