Flipping the toe bird!

Even in Bea's referral photos years ago, her toes/feet perplexed me.  I often thought there was something wrong with them because they were always curled or her ankle was twisted in an unusual way making me think something was malformed.  Obviously, she's fine, but yesterday, in the back seat of the car on our way to NYC for a baptism party, I finally caught (with cell phone) this moment that I've thought of catching numerous times:  when she "flips me off" with her middle toe.  That second toe curls under, and number four crooks sideways, leaving that long #3 to stand up proud, so here it is!
And here she is downtown at First Friday the other night.  She SO wants to hula hoop and she's getting closer and closer!  I am still camera-less, which is really starting to hurt, and likely won't get the new lens until near the end of this week, so I can't post photos from the 4th of July at the Flotildes house, or of our afternoon of dress-up and playtime with Safiya & Ayah, or of our swimming and castle-building beach trip with Truman and Hank, or her wild giant ball sprinkler-playdate with Ethan, or from the baptism with her beautiful cousin Emma or of the 10-course Chinese dinner that followed in Queens yesterday.  Our days are ridiculously jam-packed, but so, so fun.  Beatrice is very, very happy these days and we are enjoying her so much.  FOUR is loads of fun!  (and loads of drama too, but that generally passes pretty quickly thank goodness!)
