Adrianna and I went to the zoo with Janette and all the kids from her childcare last Thursday. As usual, it was a fun trip. Adrianna saw the train as we were walking around and told me that she wanted to go, “Bye-bye. Tain.” We first went on the carousel. Her little friend, Lily, had […]

Adrianna’s Oh No’s
I put Adrianna in her crib this afternoon so she could take a nap. As she often does, she chattered happily to her bears for awhile after I left the room. Some time had passed when I heard her chatters clearly become, “Oh nooo. Oh nooo. Oh nooo.” Her “Oh-no’s” can mean just about anything; […]
Poop is a Mess
Recently one of our dogs had an “accident” in our house of the pooping nature. I am never happy when this happens and make a lot of grumbling, irritable sounds as I pull out the steam cleaner and clean up the mess. What really irks me is how the easy-to-clean linoleum floor, usually less than […]
Old MacDonald Had a Farm
While Adrianna still asks for us to play or sing Barbara Ann on a pretty regular basis, she has another favorite song now: Old MacDonald Had a Farm. And like Barbara Ann, she asks for it over and over again. She calls it “oo-wow-oo-wow-oo” which is her way of imitating “E-I-E-I-O.” She sometimes will sing […]
Leaving on a Tair-Tane…
Greg had a business trip to San Francisco this week. Adrianna and I dropped him off at the airport on Sunday afternoon. I explained to Adrianna that Daddy was going to go bye-bye on an airplane and then pointed out a couple airplanes taking off. So all week she and I have been talking about […]
First Prayers
I have been wanting to start praying with Adrianna before she goes to bed for a long time now. I wasn’t sure when would be a good time to start. Tonight I decided to give it a shot since I figure that she is old enough to follow simple directions now and even though she […]
Children’s Museum
Yesterday we went to the Children’s Museum to check it out and to have a fun time together as a family. Adrianna seemed to really enjoy it. She probably could have played in this one little playhouse contentedly for hours. She was so intent on her play and so serious and particular about everything; it […]
Beware the Bees
Adrianna has a toy bee that she really likes. She also likes when I “fly” the bee around making a buzzing sound and buzz it up into her neck or tummy just so I can hear her giggle. So it surprised me that she is scared of real bees when she sees one fly by. […]
New Scrapbook Page
I have been having a mental block on my scrapbooking lately. Sometimes pages are just hard to put together or to come up with ideas on layout. I am still not completely crazy about this page, but at the same time I am just glad to have it completed (at least for now) because I […]
Hehwo?
The phone rang this afternoon and before I even realized what she was doing, Adrianna reached right up and grabbed it off of my desk, put it to her ear and answered, “Hehwo?” She would have kept talking had I not snapped back to reality and grabbed it from her. (Greg works from home and […]
