Miss M

Gymnastics continues to be held on Thursdays at 4:00pm. I am going to sign her up for one more session before I decide whether or not to keep her in class or not. I don't know if she really likes it or if she's bored b/c they work on their routine every week and it's not very exciting. I think they just want to dance and not practice a routine for eight weeks.  I think practicing a routine for eight weeks is a bit excessive when they are three and four year olds. 

When she gets tired she gets so irrational and emotional. Thursday night, after she'd spent the night and day with Aunt Nessie, she was so tired and out of control.  She saw the picture for Andrew's passport picture and she freaked out and kept crying. She kept asking why we were leaving our Maddie Cat.  I tired to explain that we weren't leaving her but rather going to see someone else. The purpose of the trip isn't to leave her (well sort of but we won't tell her until she'll understand).  It went on for about a half hour. Good grief.

I have no idea what's in her hand. Wine and time have ruined my ability to remember anything before dinner tonight. Her smile is sweet though. 

I have had a lot of meetings at school recently and so I like to walk by the playground to see what the girl is up to.  She loves playing in the sandbox but more than that she loves playing with M and A.  When I ask her who she plays with she always tells me she plays with M and A. Every day.

And one day I came out and found the three of them just playing on the teeter totter by themselves while their other classmates and teachers were at the sandbox. 

I took her to the toy store one Sunday afternoon to buy Big Will some new train tracks. I tried to see what size of a bike she would need if I bought one. She couldn't peddle and she was driving me crazy. I made her leave. She figured it out quickly once we got to Grandma D's and Grandma had the patience to help her.
