Tonight as I rocked Adrianna in the glider chair before she went “night-nights,” we sang songs together like we often do. Tonight, for fun, I did Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes and as I sang each body part I quickly patted or squeezed them. This produced much exuberant giggling on her part, especially as her […]

Our 4th of July Week
We spent a good portion of this last week in Kansas with Greg’s family. It was a very busy and fun-filled time. Saturday night we all met at Prairie Rose for a Chuckwagon Supper, which is a delicious all-you-can-eat meal followed by entertainment from the Prairie Rose Wranglers, who perform classic country tunes intermingled with […]
Water Fountain
Today Adrianna and I visited a water fountain with her friends from childcare. I never realized this free place was there and so close by. The water shoots right up from the ground and is made for kids to run through. It seems to be a popular place for moms with young kids. Adrianna is […]
Crayola Nibbles
Adrianna is sitting on a stool at the island while I make dinner. She is happily drawing on paper (and occasionally the island) with her crayons when I catch her putting one of her crayons in her mouth. Me: Adrianna, no! No crayons in your mouth. Adrianna: [Silent stare while she takes the crayon out […]
The Horse Hits the Hay
I guess she thought her horse needed a nap.
Bad Bee
Last night Adrianna woke up in the middle of the night with what we think was a nightmare. Greg went into her room and picked her up and asked her what was wrong. In a husky sleep-tinged voice she told us, “Bee. Ou-side. It hoits me. Tie-dow. Bee. Ou-side. Seed it.” She kept repeating those […]
Baby C’s
Almost every night as we are getting Adrianna ready for bed (aka night-nights), she will ask for “rock-rock” meaning she wants us to sit with her in our glider chair. She will then as for a gigglie (blanket) and we will spend some nice cuddle time together. Sometimes I think this is really just a […]
Daddy’s Hat
Adrianna found Daddy’s hat. She then proceeded to model it for me.
That Bear Just Won’t Behave
Adrianna’s favorite bear is extremely cuddly. But what makes him so huggable also makes him awfully floppy and unable to sit up on his own. Today I saw Adrianna trying to buckle him into a stroller but he wouldn’t sit up; his head kept flopping down on his chest. So she kept trying to straighten […]
Oh Toodles!
Adrianna’s favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney channel. She asks me quite often if she can watch “Mimi Mouse.” Thank goodness for tivo. This animated show is interactive, with the characters prompting the audience to count out loud or to say certain things at certain times while following different clues to solve […]
