Thursday night, while K was out of town, E and I finished the Charles Wysocki puzzle we'd been working on this week. All three of our daughters still enjoy working jigsaw puzzles, and we all like the Americana style of Wysocki. Figuring out a landscape scene is easier (and more fun for me) than an abstract drawing. I wonder if Lynn has finished her puzzle with the ruffle edge pieces.
Friday I kept e home with me and E worked from home, so e had brief interactions with her mom all day. After breakfast I played a Raffi album on my iPad, and we sang and danced. Well, I sang along but we both had fun walking around the family room, swinging our arms, stamping our feet. Then we brought her little table into the kitchen area; I wanted to let her play with her Play-Doh without having to worry about getting it on the carpet. The set includes six small containers of the clay, each a different color, as well as some animal molds like cookie cutters and three rollers that put texture/patterns on the clay. It was fun to see her play with this. She was intrigued with making balls and rolling "snakes" we could form into letters.
Seeing e use sign language still surprises me, but it does help her communicate. She can sign "help" when she needs assistance and "more/again" when she wants more food or another reading of a book. One of my favorite signs is when she points to her wrist then to her mouth, "time to eat!"
I head home this afternoon, eager to see Randy, but I know I will miss this little family. Fortunately I have tickets to return the end of the month!
