Adina, Adina, Adina:
- She's been gathering random toys and carrying them around in an ice cream pail...(random like half of an easter egg, unused q-tips, ripped crayon boxes, etc.)
- She's been taking Clarence's animals out of his new big red barn and showing them to me...she loves this; he doesn't.
- We were at mom's house last night for supper; Clarence fell asleep, and Adina was busy with her dollies grandma Juli has for her. (One's a baby cabbage patch and one's a hard doll with long hair and a swimsuit...kinda random, but she loves them). Mom has a cradle in her living room that Adina slept in when she was tiny and didn't move that is now reserved for Adina's dolls (at least until baby Linden Larson comes along...don't worry, she doesn't know what she's having...she's just nicknamed it Linden). Adina laid her dollies down for a nap, picked them up, brought them to mom to hold, grabbed them again, back to the cradle. She did this over and over; it was adorable!!
- She's been thinking about hairstyles a lot; she likes 2 long braids down the side (like Laura Ingalls), but she also likes ringlets and simple ponytails...
- She's been training her cats; She has 3: Sally (who is Clarence's, but she claims him, and, who we found out is a boy), Pumpkin (who we found out is a girl), and Orange. They follow her all over the yard and don't care when she carries them around by a back leg or something.
- And, Adina has stopped sleeping 13-14 hours a night...she's down to 10 or 11...poor me, I know! :)
- She's also got more of an eating schedule down...she'll only eat 2 real meals plus a snack; She just doens't seem hungry that often (it totally depends on how much she ate at her last meal...like I told you before, it's a princess thing).
- She's been riding in the tractor with Matt and me; She behaves better with him (at least that's the impression I get)...so, he can have her in the tractor, and I'll enjoy my peace and quiet!
Clarence, Clarence, Clarence:
He's busy, busy, busy.
- He's doing great after his concussion last Sunday...totally himself again, eating, not throwing up, nothing hurts...just awesome!
- He loves playing with all his animals (you know, the bigger ones they have at TSC by the checkouts). He's got tons of animals...they fill up a barn I bought him last weekend; it's really cute; I'll post a picture when I get a USB cord for my new camera.
- Little House - it's his favorite show by far; not that he has a lot of options; we've got an elmo movie, a couple sing-a-longs, a couple disney movies, and lots of cowboy shows. Little House and the Cowboy movies are his favorites. He tells me often "I wanna watch borshow - yil house", or "I wanna watch cowbow borshow". At least I know what he wants.
- He loves pulling his wagon around outside; he goes and picks cherry tomatoes, he pulls it up and down the ditches, he fills it full of his sandbox toys...it goes everywhere with him.
- He's much better about playing outside; he knows his boundaries, and where he can and cannot go; That's something we're working on with the princess now.
- He loves his new little pool. It's tiny, really tiny; but, he loves filling it up with water, then with grass clippings...? just being a kid, I guess.
- He's a great eater and willing to try almost anything. His rule at supper, especially with veggies, is that he has to take two or three bites before he can be done. He's very good about it.
- Potty training is complete, I guess...He still wears a pullup for nap and bed, but he wakes up dry a lot, and hasn't had an accident in a couple weeks. Yay, Clarence.
So, now you know all about my kids these days and their favorite things to do. :)
We're going camping for the weekend. I'm very excited...We've only been there one other time this summer. It's really busy right now...Matt won't be able to get out much, but I'll be able to visit a lot with my friend, Taryn. I'm looking forward to that.
Have a super weekend; I'll update again Sunday night or Monday!
