So what you’re telling me Miss Liza is that you are growing up? Right before my very own eyes? What shall I do? Today we moved your crib into Truman & Max’s room. New routine… cutting out your bottle (finally!)… you’re not a baby anymore dearie. I’m trying to realize that so I won’t spoil you rotten. sigh…
sure is hard with those darling little piggy tails and painted toes.
I was concerned for the man’s safety. Max was wondering how the hippo faired. Different perspective. And yes, this was a true story from Zimbabwe.
Hannah painted this sunflower to display at our ward talent show. It was for a Faith in God Requirement: “Make an item from wood, metal, fabric, or other material, or draw, paint, or sculpt a piece of art. Display your finished work for others to see.”
She was not in the silliest of moods for a photo, but she obliged … while hiding. I like the one where she is observing the sunflower painting in the art gallery.
A few weeks Liza woke with locks of wonder. First thing she said while trying to swoop the hair out of her eyes… “bippy” {aka… Clippy}
This gal has character, I’ll tell ya. We love her morning hairdos the most.
Last week Liza was a little stopped up (if ya know what I mean). I finally asked if she wanted to sit on the potty. “Yah.” So, off we went to the bathroom. She resists sitting down in such a situation but after playing the bath toys for a long while, she went #2. Way too much info here… but It was so awesome. She is no where near potty training, but I was so glad she got some relief and had the experience. Plus, it was so funny of a day because of that.
And no… that is not Heather Price.
It’s Harry Potter.
Hannah tried HP 1 last summer and couldn’t get into it. Her teacher convinced her that she would love it. The kids have to read the book before they can watch the movie. She read it in a few days, watched the movie… and started on #2. She just finished #4 and wants to read 5. I’m nervous to let her read it. Sigh… Whatever happened to sweet innocent girl books.
Abe must have caught the fever and started reading HP 1 in April. Seeing as the biggest book he has read is probably Geronimo Stilton, this was a a huge step for him. He’s a super reader but he didn’t want to expand his selection much. He is now on 2.
Hannah had to memorize a poem last month at school. She decided on Boundin’ by Pixar. She did a swell job and even got 5 extra points for the length, her expression, etc. I love the message.
Personally I really like the thumbs up too!
Auntie “mAmy” came for a visit with Mae.
mAmy played Go Fish twice…
and UNO with Max & Tru.
What a good sport!
This is what happens when Miss Hannah gets Zuzu ready. She is so great to play with Eliza and help her have fun. Eliza loves this Baby… but she always takes her clothes off. This was baby Bessie for Hannah. I guess Liza wanted her own style of baby. That pink purse was one I had as a little girl. It’s a great sling for baby.
