talent

There's a lot of extra noise around the house as Vivi beats her food particles into submission before eating them, slams toys on the floor for no apparent reason, and plays with the various toy keyboards we have. This is the least annoying one because it has no batteries. Look how she flips it over and plays the other side!

back to school again

Pretty exciting times around here. I've been back to school for a week and Vivi has been sick basically that whole time (ear infection). It's been a rough week for all of us as a result. Even in sickness, V is a cutester. Sometimes we tie ribbons 'round her head.



The Sunday before school started we were the first ones at the zoo on a Sunday morning. I still hadn't been to Amazonia because the last time I was at the zoo (pregnant and huffing and puffing) Lilah wouldn't go in. I can't believe I hadn't been to the zoo in so long. Anyway, Amazonia is cool, and L enjoyed pushing Vivi around, as usual.



Meanwhile, L fights about going to school in the mornings. She says she doesn't like it (although she usually reports that she had a good/fun day when she returns). WE certainly like it, and it seems that she's learning new things all the time. Now we all know the sign language for "can I go to the bathroom?" which is handy; I should teach it to my own students. Her drawings are much more complex/interesting than before, and she's getting a better grip on the lower case. Sometimes she eats at least part of her lunch, although we screwed up on Monday and sent her with a granola bar that contained nuts (no nuts allowed on premises). She and Vivi are already good friends I think and L is extremely cute playing with her.
