this weekend was quite lovely. cindy had to work saturday, so the girl and I spent the morning cleaning, organizing, and rearranging her toys and the living room. we brought her plastic table and chair into the living room from outside (after removing melted crayon with a pot of boiling water) and set it up as her 'snack table'. now she has a place to eat snacks that she can easily get to instead of sitting on the floor or having us boost her up to the dining room table in her high chair. better yet, the bookshelf beneath the tv (which is adjacent to this table) is the perfect height for her, so we've put her dishes and silverware there. now it's much easier for her to set her spot at the table instead of us giving her each piece to set. she totally enjoys doing this - she spent 15 minutes completely captivated just rearranging her dishes. the girl also became a fan this weekend of 3 important things we find in every building. floor, wall, and ceiling. just ask her about it next time you see her.
pretty much the rest of the weekend was spent at the pool. she became a bit scared of the pool suddenly, and is only comfortable is she's touching us in some way. surely she'll grow past it. either way, we still had a great time - we spent a majority of pool time in the big pool, throwing the girl up in the air, dragging her for swims (like a monkey on our backs), supporting her while she floated on her back. in fact, the little mimic picked up a new phrase while we reassured her we wouldn't let her fall below the water - 'i got you'. we then added the 'babe' after we heard her repeat, so you may as well call her Cher next time you see her.
