Tid Bits

Okay, I am still working on the pictures. But for a bonus, I am going to try to get some videos up too. This entry is because Tim and I have such a smart beautiful girl, and I wanted to get these stories in before I forget them. Lately when it's bedtime and we are reading to Aeryn, she picks up on certain words in the story and remembers them. The next time we read the book, she is right there with it, saying the words. There is a book we read to her called Friendly Fish, and there is a page with a red rock lobster, and when we read it we say rock lobster they way it's sang/said in the B-52's Rock Lobster. There are two other words, rock and seaweed, that we say funky like that. Just to be silly. It's been almost a week since we read it to her and tonight she was on with those words, exactly the way Tim and I read them to her! Her new favorite book is The Monster at the End of the Book(w/ furry, old, lovable Grover). And she knows it so well. My mom said that I was the same way. She thought she had a super genius child who could read at an early age. Turns out, I just a genius child with good memory.

We have a little digital clock that lights up, and her monitor next to her bed. She's a button pusher, and will play with them before bed sometimes. Sometimes we'd forget to turn it back on if she'd turned it off. But tonight, for the first time... she played with it, and then stopped to listen to stories. When we told her it was time to go to sleep, she walked over and turned it on! She knew it was off, and that it needed to be on. We'd never told her to turn it back on the other times she played with it. Catches on quick this one.

The three of us were in the car this evening and Tim was joking around, and made up a little rap. I forget about what. When he finished Aeryn started rapping! She kept a good beat, even though we couldn't understand her(who can understand rap songs anyway). Rock out!

Aeryn is so in love with our dogs. She helps me let them outside, feed and water them, give them treats, and even yell at them. Well, at Puppy anyway. If he's outside and starts barking, she'll yell through the window. If he's in his dog pen making too much noise, she will tell him to be quiet. She really is a grown up in a toddlers world it seems.

She's in the toddler independence stage. Has to try to do everything by herself. Right now she is working to put her shoes on by herself. It's tough. But she'll do it.

The Just Between Friends sale was last week. I love it! Made some money and spent perhaps a little more that I made. But the clothes were so cute! A lot of people over priced them in my opinion. But I suppose everything is going up in price, even consignments.

My attention span is done. I hope you enjoyed this. Don't know when I will get back to it. Love Ya!
