Today Baby Q was crying as I was putting laundry into the machines. All of the sudden, he quieted down. I peaked my head out of the laundry room to see what was going on. You had gotten some books and were sitting down next to him, reading him stories. You're such a good big sister.

Its Memorial Day Weekend, so we took all the girls to the lake for the first time since last fall. You've grown up so much little darling. Last year you enjoyed the sand, but you needed a lot of security in the water--we could barely get you out there. This year, you dug in the sand, and you went way out the in water with Daddy, playing on a floaty, and even letting him help you float by yourself a little bit. I'm so proud of you; you're growing so brave!

Your brother has been learning to roll over. You were very obligingly showing how to do so today. I'm glad you love your little brother.

I was trying to get video of him rolling over. He wouldn't oblige (only rolled over after I turned the camera off!), but you were most helpful!

Little Snippets

"My can smell something!"



You: "What's that?"
Daddy: "A fruit fly."
You: "A flute fly?"
Daddy: "No, a fRuit fly!"
You: "Oh! A Apple Fly!"


You bring Daddy an RCA manual. You say, "That's my card from Nana and Papa. It says, 'Love me. Hugs and Kisses.'"

My sweet Blueberry, what a sleepy day you've had. When we're working (and school is on), we get up and have the big girls getting ready for school. Generally you'll wake up at some point in the hustle and bustle and come out and join us. Today, we prayed with the girls and sent them on their way, and I opened the door up between our apartments and the cottage and found you laying on the floor in the hallway.

You very politely asked for cuddles, so I picked you up and we cuddled for about 20 minutes or so until Daddy came home. But you were obviously not done sleeping yet, as after that, you laid back down on the floor in the hallway for another 20 minutes or more until I finally convinced you to let me pick you up and put you back to bed.

You don't seem sick and are not complaining of anything except tired. You did have a rough night last night with several bad dreams (apparently you dreamed you were falling out of bed? at least that's what you told me), so maybe that's some of the tired.

Sleep well my little girl and wake up rested. We have a fun evening ahead of us.

Who needs expensive toys? Currently, the three toys/games of the week are:

1. Play in the rice bucket
2. Play with a big wooden bowl that I've filled up with an assortment of (dried) beans.
3. Play with cloud dough (flour with baby oil mixed into it--super soft yet compactable).

You're welcome.

Now to buy some sandbox for your sand/water box, and we're set. And a whole bunch of cinnamon because I heard a rumor that mixing cinnamon in with sand in a sand box helps keep the bugs out.
