The borders are sewn on the batik quilt. I had hoped to prep the binding but there wasn't quite enough of the fabric I wanted to use. So when I get home I'll go to Beverly's and buy a piece of dark blue or purple.
Yesterday I kept e home, and we had a grand time together. We started with a short, maybe 20 minutes, walk along the lagoon/lake, seeing lots of yellow gold flowers (which she pointed to and said, "More") and a few ducks. After cooling off a little when we got home, we went outside again, this time to the shaded back patio, and I put water in her water table so she could play. It did not hold her attention for long, but that's OK. We stayed inside the rest of the day reading, singing, building with blocks, and talking. When she woke after a three-hour nap, we shared a bowl of Kix. I put some in her mouth, then e would put some in mine. She seems to really enjoy this.
She is growing so fast! She walks confidently and even fast, almost running at times. Her vocabulary is increasing. Some words are not clearly pronounced, but she is consistent with the sounds and manages to get her meaning across most of the time. This morning we practiced blinking...so cute. Yes, she occasionally does get frustrated when told "No," and she may lie on the floor and cry, trying to convince you she should have more raisins or another cheese stick or whatever. But usually she can be distracted with a question, like "Where are your shoes?" or "Shall we ride the horse?"
Today she went to daycare, but I think I may keep her home tomorrow. It seems much easier for me to watch her here at her house than at ours. One important advantage at our house is the temperature outside, but here she has her toys and more open space to run around.
