Today's Walk

Ah music to my ears! As I paused on our walk this afternoon to snap a photo of an unusual flower, Bella exclaimed: "I hear a cricket. Chirp, chirp, chirp." Indeed there was a cricket chirping nearby. Thank you, Eric Carle and The Very Quiet Cricket, my daughter just made her first insect identification. I am so proud.

Also on today's walk I helped Isabella to collect her first bucket of acorns. I'd realized while reading Pooh stories that she didn't know what Piglet's "haycorns" were, so I located an oak tree and within a minute had found a dozen little brown-capped nuts. She was so pleased she carried them around in her bucket and ran to show them to her daddy when he came home.

Found!

Getting out the box of next size baby clothes for Sophia. I'm finally graduating her to 3-6 month clothes.... she'll be six months next week. Don't know why it's taken me so long to admit she doesn't fit into most of the 0-3 month stuff. I guess a couple of the dresses were on the larger size and of course onesies stretch wonderfully. But this stuff fits so much better.

And I finally found the green night shirt I lost this past spring. The one that was so comfortable to wear while pregnant. Yeah, I packed it in with the baby clothes.
