You were a "maker" today, dear. You and I made Rice Crispy treats. And oh so proud of yourself you were. "Me a maker!"

The other day you made me an entire lunch with your fake kitchen. You had a tomato. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a fried egg on a cheeseburger (sans the bun). You neatly set the table, we prayed, and you insisted that I couldn't eat my food until we were both properly served. You have learned well.

As you grow and learn, I grow and learn. I found myself on the phone this morning with a friend seeking advice on what to do with faking injuries, and refusing to sleep. Last night was exhausting. I think you had legitimately banged your ankle bone on something and it was hurting you. But being the dramatic two year old that you are, it became a huge deal of screaming for "Mommy! Mommy!" And then you woke up this morning screaming again for me--way too early in the morning. So you spent most of the morning sitting on the couch even though you informed me your "owie all better." Sigh. Such things for me to decipher and determine how to teach--such lessons for you to learn.

Your aunt and uncle came into town for the day to see you and your little brother; they say to see us all, but we know the truth! Auntie Joy in particular is a sucker for doing whatever games you ask her to play with you: or whatever else you ask.

"Auntie Joy turn light on in bathroom?"

"Auntie Joy, I want [your] cupcake!"

"Auntie Joy play with me!"

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.'"
