Tonight we all played Hide-N-Seek at Adrianna’s request. I think it started out as a bedtime stall tactic more than anything. Once we started playing, it quickly became apparent that Adrianna really doesn’t know how to play. Greg said he’d count, so he faced the wall, hid his eyes and began the count to 20. […]

Tonight’s Prayer
Tonight after Adrianna and I prayed together, Adrianna wanted to say her own prayer too. This is what she said. Dear Jesus, Tank you for da nice day. Tank you for Gammy and Gampy. For Uncoh Jess. Amen.
Tlinkle Tlinkle Wittle Star
Though we have many videos of Adrianna singing, I wanted to record Adrianna singing with Greg’s audio equipment too. When I first talked to her about singing into a microphone, she was very excited. But once Greg got the mic out she changed her mind. We had to bribe her in order to get her […]
Backyardigans
Lately, Adrianna has begun to interact more with the tv shows she watches. When Mickey Mouse asks a question of the viewers, she often excitedly says the answers aloud or points her finger at the correct object on the screen. It is quite fun to watch her. She also knows some of the words to […]
Success!
Today there was much rejoicing in the Reimer household as Adrianna officially used the potty on her own. Yes, there was one previous time where I heard one slight ripple in the water and it did get richly rewarded, but this time it was the real deal. And both!! Adrianna told Janette that she needed […]
My Bunny Lies Over the Ocean
Another favorite song of Adrianna’s is My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. Today she was digging in her toybox and found the bunny she got last Easter, and then she started hugging it close and singing, “My bunny lies over the ocean.”
Mockingbird
Adrianna’s normal bedtime routine often consists of brushing her teeth, reading a book or two, and sitting in a rocking chair and singing together. One of the songs Greg has recently started singing with her is Hush, Little Baby. Adrianna has decided that she really likes this song and sings it to herself sometimes too. […]
Heavily Laden
Adrianna typically wakes up around 8:00 every morning. On weekends, we leave her in her crib a little longer as while we try to sleep in later and she is usually content to play or talk to her animals until 8:30 or 9:00. Sometimes the playing consists of her stripping all her clothes and diaper […]
Sleeping Sitting Up
When I went to check on Adrianna last night, I found her sleeping sitting up. She was completely out. I just had to take a picture before moving her into a more comfortable position.
Bedtime
Last night, Greg was getting Adrianna ready for bed when she got very quiet and made a simple request before she was to be put in her crib. This is the conversation that took place as Greg tried to decipher what she wanted. Adrianna: I wanna tay. Greg: You want to play? Adrianna: No. I […]
