Something Worth Blogging About

This morning we were supposed to head back to the pool. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. Just when we thought it was sunny enough to head out the door, we'd get a nasty 30 minute cloud cover and we decided to nix our pool plans and opt for something indoors. Only problem with promising a pool day to two little girls who understand is trying to convince them it's ok not to go (Logan kept asking for the "wa-wa" all morning). So, we took the kiddos to a little indoor play place at the mall. It's full of all kinds of foam climbing things and is in a nice enclosed space so we let the girls loose and watched them really enjoy themselves (while also wincing constantly as some very large incredibly crazy and uncontrolled boys ran around with no regard to the little ones--where were there parents, again?). I took a bunch of pictures since I know I've been lacking lately.



Logan's been so into climbing lately that this place was perfect for her!












I'm trying to capture L on video doing some of her newer things but it seems like I can never grab the camera at the right time or when she IS willing to do things, the camera is out of juice. We need more rechargable batteries. She recently took an interest in reading to the baby boy we spend our days with. She'll pick out a book, scoot next to him and as she turns the pages she lists a ton of words that she knows. Example:

"Bubba (what she calls him), book" Opens the book, points to the pictures. "Two, outside, hot" turns the page, "Elmo, juice, num nums, book, hi" turns page...you get the scenario. Only it's much funnier to listen to the random words she picks. I'll continue trying to catch that for you guys!

As far as new words go, her vocabulary is truly growing daily. It's a challenge to keep up with how many she's got down. From my last count, I'd guess she's knows somewhere from 85-95 words, but I'm just so tickled to hear her say anything new that I've stopped keeping count.

We should have some pictures to post of the fourth, so look out for those!
