Eve has been amusing me with her
creativity lately. One of her favorite things to do now is
“take” things out of books and give them to people. For
example, while reading a book last night she asked me if I
wanted a giraffe and then proceeded to use her sweet little
pincher fingers to “take” the giraffe off the page and put it
in my hand, and then one for her, and one for Lex. I was
reading her a Richard Scary book the other day and ended up
“holding” an alligator, a mouse, a car, and Goldbug in my hand.
She gets so happy. One day she ran in to the dining room with
her pinchers fingers tight and said “want some tea?” I was
expecting her to get me a pink plastic tea cup, but instead she
released her fingers in my hand and said “there you go!” A few
minutes later I saw a book with a tea party picture opened in
the living room and I’m sure I got one of those cups of tea :)
She cracks me up. She also LOVES the easel we have and spends a
lot of time coloring with dry erase markers or regular markers
(on the paper side). Sadly she also spends a lot of time
coloring on herself and then “wiping it off” with another
marker, so I have to take the markers away from her more than
I’d like to. She also found a big paper bag the other day and
has been carrying it around with her, filling it with all sorts
of stuff. Last night it was so full she had to drag it behind
her and you could hear her coming from a mile away. Sweet,
silly girl :)
