It's bery tricky!

That seemed to be the phrase of the day today. "Mommy, this pony is being bery tricky." "Mommy, this sandbox is bery tricky." "Mommy, daddy can be bery tricky."

I wonder if she understands that the v and the b are different sounds? Or if they all sound alike to her?

We went to bible study this morning; when Melanie goes, she gets to play in the basement with the other kids. Ellie was there, and "baby Abby" was there, but Meredith was not. She was pretty sad about that; didn't want to stay down with the kids, she wanted to come up with the mommies. She did great once I left, but it's good to be missed. She looked pretty darn cute in her little yellow tennis skirt kind of thing, and a little printed tshirt. Complete with yellow scruncci in her hair. She said several times today, "Oh, I am just so cute!" I'm not sure how to tell her about a prideful spirit, when I say the same darn thing to her about a million times a day. That's one to ponder.









We went to WalMart this afternoon for groceries. Unbelievably, the child asked for candy. I mean come on! She has more candy in this house than the Easter Bunny himself! I gently tried to answer her each time she asked about it, and I think I accomplished it pretty well. She tried the pouty face once though, and even Daddy stepped in. You know it was pretty pathetic if that happened. Here are she and Daddy at the checkout line, where she was asking for everything in eyesight. Those marketing people are no dummies: they know who is stuck in that line at that level. I could shoot them all!

We came home to a beautiful afternoon, and took advantage of playing outside in our new "park". Her newest thing is running from the slide, to the swing, back and forth, back and forth. Shouting, "Wait for me! Wait for me!" - as if I'm going to rock into the next county or something on the swing without her.

She has this floppy frizzbee that she got in her Easter bag from Grammy and Poppy. For some reason, she calls it a flag. I have no clue where she got that, but she wanted us to throw her flag with her a lot this evening too. Her way of throwing it makes it go places that we never know where it's going to land. It just kinda dissapears...and it turns up a while later while she hunts for it as her "treasure". It's entertaining, at least.

We ate dinner outside tonight as well. It was so lovely out. The downside: Mommy made the meat too spicey. She downed the greenbeans though. And decided that we should have a picnic every night.

Bathtime was extra fun, because she got to use her new "pinks". They are these Avon kids bath thingies that Aunt Normie got for her for Easter in her basket. She used them as "oderants". When I asked her why she was putting it on her pitties, she said, "Well, this are specialdy for kids, mommy. To help their pitties smell muuuuch better!"

I guess that solves that problem!




A fun day :) Tomorrow...children are coming here to play - and Melanie is very excited about having a park in her backyard to share with her friends!
