Random strung together things

We've been mostly at Origins this weekend, as previously mentioned. Couple of thoughts:

1. We are more than ever determined not to take a two-year-old to a serious con (ala D*Con).
2. Ari liked wearing her badge. And her dice necklace. And she liked the Pokeball someone gave her.
   
3. Poor Ari took a beating this weekend- on Thursday, a kid bit her at COSI. Like, grabbed her arm and chomped down with his whole set of teeth! She still has the marks, days later. Poor bean. And then today, she got her head whacked, too.
4. Ari got into my cornstarch yesterday. I was cooking, and when I turned around and saw the cloud o' cornstarch, I said, "Ari!" in a loud, startled voice. Ari jumped, and got up and ran away. But a moment later, she reappeared with a rag. She was trying to clean up her mess!
5. Ari has a game lately of claiming that other people are Ari. We'll say, "Where's Ari?" and she'll point at me, or Thad or Brooke or whoever. And then giggle.
