Spring has sprung in Kentucky

The grass has just had it's first haircut, the trees are budding, and all I hear from my little peanut these days is "shooo" (for shoes) and "siiii" (for outside). Toys hold no interest now! All she wants to do is walk around outside (for which we had to purchase big girl shoes, hence the fixation on the shoes), blow bubbles, dig in the dirt, and watch for birds and airplanes. She even eats her dinner better when she is outside! I'm wondering if she is ready for her first camping trip...

Once upon a time

Poor child... no one was around to read a book, so she decided to read to herself! She is in my grandfather's chair that was made especially for him in 1966. Pop would be proud that someone else is enjoying reading in this chair as much as he did!

What little girls do when they play

Grace had some fun times with Grandma last week playing with her kitchen and having a carpet picnic. Even Dixie was invited (although I really don't think she enjoyed herself as much as the teddy bears did)!

The law of averages (yawn)

I have accepted the fact that there will be no sleeping in for the next, what, 10 years or so? Yet it still really bothers me that of the two or three times in her life that Grace has slept really late, it always happens on a week day. I'm sure my mathmatical husband could tell me the chances of it happening on a Saturday (I know it is not in my favor). But please, Grace, next time you sleep until 9am, like this morning, could you pick a Saturday morning for your snooze? Thanks, love, Mom.
