 We had to go to the hospital for your eye appointment and ended up being there for 2 and a half hours. An hour of which you had blurry drops in your eyes. Thank goodness for a comfy wrap and Mama snuggles.

Today you told me a most involved story at play circle. I love to hear the ways your mind weaves the places and characters into the most amazing of tales!

You were very tired and snuggly this morning. I cherish these times...I don't get as many snuggles now that you're a big ol' grown up girl.

I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your tower down! It took you a while and a LOT of puff, but it did eventually fall.

Today you were super tired. You fell asleep standing up on Dadda.

You LOVE to climb trees. Today you were a Mama duck looking for a place to lay her 22,000 ducklings. You are going to be one busy Mama duck!

You found a frog in the swimming pool and put it on your finger. After a bit of explanation and coaxing you took him off and back into the water but he came right back to you! Joy!

I told you to go and get ready for the library. You cam back like this. Awesome.

You LOVE the beach my girl, just like your Mama! You made yourself a black sand beard and were showing off your big muscles. Raaaaaar!

You are not so much a fan of the beach. The sand was fine. Rockpools, fine. But it was the waves, they made you uneasy. While your sister and I dashed in and out of the water you preferred to sit on Dada's knee and watch, with a look of quiet consternation.

Right, I'm finished playing catch up now, phewf! I am really enjoying taking time to get to actually take pictures. I don't have a fancy phone camera so don't often taken photos of the random little things. This project is encouraging/forcing me to get the camera out more and document these growing critters.

This week our new friends gave us their first egg and you take great delight in being the one to collect it. Also to eat it. Dippy egg is definitely a firm favourite!

Every time we're out in the garden you pick beans to eat. You try and feed them to the chickens, to your sister, to me...to anyone who;ll take them. You love the raw beans!

Let use pretend that the first week of the year didn't happen. It almost doesn't count...you know, every one is still in holiday mode and...yeah. Week 2 -

This is how you can be found for a lot of your day - concentrating furiously on colouring in or drawing a picture. You get annoyed when Maggie tries to join you, until we get her her own paper. Then you sit quietly and enjoy the crayons on the page.

You were intensely excited that your big sis was going to join you on the "trampalium". You'd been hounding for a while, bouncing up and down around the house, pointing out the window and saying "bunst, bunst!"...finally it happened...joy!
