RAINBOW DANCE

We watched a Mr Rogers where a ballerina danced with a rainbow scarf.  This is the much clumsier, much louder version :)

JORLEY

I was trying so hard to catch one of those words that she says wrong before it disappears: we love that she still says "jorley" instead of "jewelry"...but soon it will be gone.  The sound quality is terrible though.  I need another jorley video.

CLUES

The new thing with these alphabet books is to give us clues about the words.  I love that game.

This video is a good example of how spontaneous she can appear, but in the end, she's as rigid as it gets.  You have to hold the book a certain distance from her face, and you have to use a certain hand to point or she gets mad, etc, and heaven help you if you don't do it the exact same way every night.  It can be maddening.

I'm glad we raised a child who thrives on routine.  We don't get too much whining about stuff like bedtime because things always happen in our house at the same time every day.  But sometimes that backfires on a smaller scale.

INSANITY

She likes to exercise with Daddy at night.  I ought to join them!

POOR DOG

I have given her the task of feeding the dog while he's wearing his cone.  She torments him.

SINCEREST FLATTERY

I love that the neighbor's little boy was trying to do everything she was doing.

TWO-WHEELER

She has been begging to ride her big girl bike, without training wheels, so tonight we gave it a shot.  This was only after 10 minutes of shorter spurts of pedaling on her own.  I'm impressed!
