Adrianna enjoyed playing with a couple of white bears she found at Grammy and Grampy’s house. When I asked her what their names were, I was told that the larger of the two was “Andy” and the other one was “Wawa.” However, when I was talking about the larger bear later in the day, she […]

Tacos
Adrianna really enjoys the singing and story time she gets from her Sunday School. One thing I really like about this church is that they also send a paper home that gives the overall highlights on what they were taught that day, so we can reinforce and talk about it through the week. Today’s topic […]
My Little Ducky (or perhaps a Mimicking Monkey?)
Adrianna wanted to wear her Halloween costume again. As soon as she put it on, she decided to act the role and there was a lot of quacking. Before I even grabbed the camera she had been quacking for a couple minutes.
Pillowhawns
Back in November, we were driving along a highway in Denver when Adrianna started pointing at something out the window and talking about “pillowhawns.” Greg and I looked out the window and tried to figure out what she was so excited about, but all our efforts were in vain. We would guess different words, and […]
Visiting Santa
Last Friday, my workplace brought in Santa so that families could come in and get their pictures taken with him. This seemed like a good idea, given that there was no line to wait in and the picture would be free compared to the mall’s hour wait time and $18 photos. Another bonus would be […]
Rectangles Don’t Talk
Adrianna attributes many characteristics and actions to her toys. Quite often, I am requested to talk to her toys or sing Happy Birthday to them by name; especially her Teddy Bear, Care Bear, Big Bear, Brown Bear, Baby Bear, or White Bear. (Aren’t we creative with our naming convention?) This afternoon she brought me a […]
“Hawna Mouse” Drawing Circles
Adrianna loves to draw. She is always asking for pens, paper, crayons, or markers. Once in hand, she makes the most interesting scribbles and elaborate circles. She has even drawn a banana and a pear that looked amazingly like the real thing as far as shape goes. It is a wonderful thing watching her young […]
Adrianna Smart
Adrianna got a little bored at Lowe’s and decided to use her shoes as a phone. She “called” Grammy, Grampy, Nana, and Grandpa.
Right-side Down
There is a store in Denver called Total Beverage. Their sign features an upside-down A that is made to look like a cup full of a beverage. Adrianna really gets a kick out of this upside-down A. She points it out every time we drive by. Adrianna: Look Mommy! The A’s right-side down! Me: The […]
Counting the Bees
Overheard tonight, as Adrianna counted the bees on her potty seat: One…Two…Three…Four…Eighteen…Nineteen…Eleventeen…Four…
