We went to visit the girls’ great grandparents- Gigi & Giffer this weekend. Gigi runs a second hand store -Encore- where we found a Garfield branded “Go Fish” game for 25 cents, as in “Giffer, do you have an Odie?”  Ethan and I were just talking about how Amelia could probably play that game, and she proved to be pretty good at it!

We went to the Dining Room for dinner on Saturday and Amelia (borrowed) and Gigi wore their finest beads. 

Amelia also got a little two-compartment coin purse at Encore, and has something like 4 dimes and 5 pennies inside.  She counted and sorted her money (one cent each- we’re working on dimes = 10 but it’ll be a while) at the table, on the potty, on the floor, in the car.

Amelia and I went over to a nearby school playground this morning.  I was really impressed at some new climbing tricks.  She got all the way to the top of this one.

Pretty girl in a fast car!  (There must have been a well timed breeze.)

Daphne loves the water.  We turned on the sprinkler to about one foot height and the girls played in the water with cups & toys.  Amelia didn’t really have much to do with the sprinkler without a lot of encouragement, but Daphne just loved it.

This one is just after she finally got her hat off!

That girl charmed everyone with her smiles and smiles and smiles, and a little eating along the way.  She eats anything and everything with the noisiest enthusiasm- peas, diced and shredded carrots, cornish hen, cheese, waffle, toast with blackberry jam, bacon, cake, a little tuna, pumpernickle bread, pineapple, strawberries, and probably a few things I am not remembering. 

She is working on her fifth tooth (another top one-she’s doing this backwards) and ,makes that sound where you rub your finger back and forth (up and down) over your lips while you talk.  Eh, you’re trying it out right now, aren’t you?  There should be a name for that sound!

Thanks for such a nice weekend Gigi & Giffer!
