Ponytails. When I picked up Anna Claire from school yesterday, she had a ponytail in her hair, which I know her teachers have been dying to do for weeks. I have made several attempts, but she fusses so much because it pulls. It's also so hard to manuever your fingers to get it good and tight.
Raisins. Yesterday Anna Claire tried raisins for the first time. She LOVES them. Larry told her they are dried grapes and that has stuck. She is referring to them as "gapes." She can take out a whole little red box herself.
Play doh! I can't say that I introduced it, but we bought her a 10 pack and gave it to her yesterday. She was so happy to see the pack of ten little cans. She kept saying "whoa! whoa! whoa!" She spent the next five or ten minutes taking them out of the little holes and put them back in like a puzzle. She did a great job not eating it. She loved watching us roll it into balls, logs, and other shapes, then trying to copy us.
The night sky. Anna Claire has never been out at night. We always do bath, pampering, books, and bedtime. We are so consistent that it occurred to me tonight that we've deprived her of moon, stars, and peaceful darkness. (Sorry if this is too stream of consciousness) On the way to the book fair tonight, she kept saying "night night! night night!" and then "HI!" alternately. Then she would call out, "dark!" and later "lights!" as we turned onto Sango Rd., driving past the gas station and McDonalds.
Book Fair. Anna Claire loved being in her pajamas, having her teddy bear, and seeing her little friends with their mommies and daddies. She loved seeing all of the books, taking 2-3 seconds to look at each one before passing them off to me to return. It was neat to see many of my friends there too. We have so many connections at The Red Barn. It's neat.
