Hops & Barley and the concept of space

Hops & Barley thinks she can fit anywhere.


If she is walking beside you and a telephone pole is looming in front of her she never moves. She waits until she basically hits in then squeezes in even closer to you.

If you are sitting on the couch and there is open space beside you she will try and squeeze between you and the arm of the couch instead of sitting where there is room.

This happens all the time and it drives me mad.

She also tries her best to squeeze into shoes that are too small and has been wearing the little girls' clothes a lot lately.

The other day JEM and I heard small cries for help from the other room. She had tried to put on the following backpack:


 See the baby doll wearing the teeny tiny back pack? See how small it is?

Here is Camo standing next to the baby back pack for perspective.

When we found her, H&B had managed to get both arms into the straps and had somehow gotten the straps wiggled up to her elbows with her arms behind her. Then she got stuck. It was pretty funny.

Anyone out there think she learned anything from this? If you answered yes you would be wrong.

  1. Oh my!! how cute is H&B with that toque on - soooo cute!

    And I'd like to point out that Camo's "boots/cowprint stockings/jeans/snow-mitts/fancy handbag" outfit is pretty sweet as well!

    Charlotte does the same thing. She will always pick the smallest space on the sofa to sit (usually between me and the arm of the sofa). She was in the process of wedging herself in beside me on the sofa at my mom's house tonight and managed to tip over the arm of the sofa and land squarley on her head! It remains to be seen if she has learned her lesson...

    And good for you for not snapping a pic of Marley trapped in the back pack. You are a good mom!
