Wordless Wednesday

Lucy and her "tippy toes" from Poppy.

Esther's Learning

Yesterday while Esther was playing with this sorter and stacker toy, I noticed that she was actually sorting the colors! If a red shape was on the blue peg when she went to put a blue shape away, she would stop and move the red shape first. And if she grabbed the green shape she would hover over all of them until she found the green peg. It's so fun to watch babies learn!

Making the Baby Laugh

Lucy and I were washing the dishes when I began to realize that there were peals of laughter coming from the other room. We went to investigate and found that the amusement resulted from lack of space, abundance of stuffed animals, and some very exuberant bouncing. Of course Lucy was done with the dishes. She wanted in on the fun!

A Little Helper

No, she's not really all that helpful, but when you're standing there with your hands in yet another pile of soapy dishes and she independently scoots a chair over so she can get her hands in it too, you just smile and make room at the sink.

Today I determined to attack the pile of mending/alterations that had been growing in my closet. After sewing on a couple buttons I found two blouses that just needed to be ironed. Well, they were sure waiting in the wrong pile! Then I pulled out a couple more projects and made the happy discovery that the bottom half of the bag was full of the leftovers of a project long finished. Fixing and altering still took all afternoon, but it was much more manageable than I first thought!
