Figuring it out

This blog will have pics one day soon. I have to find the USB cord and get it together, I know! That is my goal for this coming week. I obviously missed color week, but who says I won't make my own color week. If you figure out anything while being a SAHM it is that time is measured differently in the kid-o-sphere and I rarely even know what day it is so there is obviously no rush unless someone's life is in danger.
I've also figured out that Tori is a person. Yes, I knew she was human and had a personality and she likes a routine; but she actually has preferences in what book we should read her at night, what toy we should play with next and so on. She's not the sit-back-and-watch-big-sis-make-the-rules type. She wants us to know she's here and wants her say. Very cute things are coming from Tori lately. She calls just about everything a "buh" and she loves it when Bella runs around or goes too far in the store and I frantically coax her back to me. She tries so hard to say Bella but all that comes out is "ellllelllellla" in a cute, excited, squealy squeak.
She walks so well it makes me giggle. If I was more social I would take her to all my friends and neighbors house and say, watch this! She is short (not for her age) and it's like a baby doll just stands up and stomps around. I love the sound of her bare feet smacking against the hardwoods and watching her from behind as she slowly makes her way down the hall to play in the best room in the house- Bella's room. It's better than almost everything in this world.
Bella is imagination station lately. Today she took a pretend bus ride, spaceship adventure to the moon, laid on her island by the (baby) pool, and hatched out of her dinosaur egg for the the thousandth time.
Since school ended I thought we would have a problem explaining to her why she's not going anymore. She's so well adjusted and easy to reason with that she figured it out on her own and when I told her we would see her friends at the neighborhood pool soon, she was happy. She does get bored with staying at home. She goes down a list of all the people we normally visit to ask if we can go see them. And soon I hope to take her there. Illness has trapped us here lately. Two ear infection and a sinus infection do not make for easy anything.
I am content here for now just enjoying the heat wave and evening thunderstorms. I hope this summer is fun, a bonding experience that I will remeber forever, and that there will be many more just like it.
