Mid-week visit

I managed to arrange for a second visit on the weeks that I don't have AK so hopefully I will have fresh stories to report every second Monday and Wednesday on the "quiet" weeks!!!

AK is constantly narrating her life. "Mommy, I'm walking! I'm running! I'm jumping! I wanna wash my hands! I want bubbles on my hands! I want to wash the bubbles off of my hands! I'm up high! I'm down low! What's this? What's that?" over and over and over!!!

She said "I have princess panties on" and when I asked "which princess?", she said "I don't know" and showed me. I didn't recognize her either, so we just left it at "princess panties". Later on, we were looking through her princess encyclopedia when, to my surprise, she pointed at one of the princesses and said "Mommy, that's the princess on my panties!". What do you know - she was right! (It was Aurora in case you were wondering) She figured that out all by herself, what a SMART girl!

I had leftover quinoa and chili for supper. AK would not eat it at all. She used her "tweezers" (aka chopsticks) to pick out the chunks of cheese I added and ate only those. I couldn't even get her interested in the kidney beans, even told her they were "jumping beans" in an effort to get her to eat them. I know she'd love them if she'd just TRY THEM!

We played outside with the chalk for a while. AK likes to draw circles with the chalk, and enjoys all the pictures I draw. She likes to tell me what color to use and what to draw. One of the new things we're doing is tracing our hands and feet.

I believe AK has a pyjama party at school tomorrow. I hope we get some photos from the school afterwards. They shared a couple of photos from the water play day last week but AK wasn't in either one of them. Too bad... it looked like a fun time!

One more day of work before my long long weekend... can't wait. I think I may do two yoga classes tomorrow night, sleep in Friday morning and then wait for the madness to start when AK arrives around 5pm :)
