I love the Friday folder. :-) This is a picture Eve drew of the little in their room. I love that she drew them in bed (green smiley faces) and that she drew their comforters (princess on her bed). Notice her name? She has developed an interest in cursive so I taught her how to write her name.
Eve has a loose tooth! Her very first one. She’s pretty excited about and and keeps telling me about how it feels. Often starting with, “I don’t know if this is usual or not, but…” then onto her story. She is an awesome child. She also has four molars coming in all at once. There’s a lot going on in that mouth of hers.
I wonder if that explains the fevers, headaches, and earaches from a few weekends ago…
This wiley one is kicking our butts in Monopoly this morning!
She’s finally tall enough..
… and boy is she happy!!
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth…
Someone had a little too much birthday cake! (She’s calling it her underwear cap and cracking me up every time!)
Another from Eve. While laying in bed tonight, Eve asked me when I was in college. I forget exactly what we were talking about that led to that question. I told her I graduated in 1999. She said, “Wow! That was centuries ago!” I corrected her that it was just one century ago, but somehow that didn’t make me feel much better. :/ Nothing like kids to make you feel old!
Eve had a dozen things she wanted from me this afternoon, all at the same time! While I was working on the fancy manicures she wanted, she started asking me to read to her. I told her several times that we can read after I finish with the nails, but that wasn’t good enough. Suddenly she said, “Oh! I want to read a fairy book and I can!” She ran, got herself a book (a chapter book!), came back and started reading. She’s been reading it ever since. I LOVE that!
It’s getting chilly around here in the evenings!
It’s 5:30am. The kids’ bedroom door is cracked open. I peek in and see Eve, laying on her side, doggie tucked next to her head, reading light on, and a book propped open. She’s reading silently to herself and doggie. My heart melts and I once again wish for a photographic memory.
On a side note, I wonder how long she’s been awake?
