This morning Ada came up to me with open hand and showed me two dimes and a nickle. She said "Moomey!" I said "No Ada, that is MONEY." "Moomey!" she replied. So I told her to follow me to her room and I had her put it in her piggy bank. She clapped after the coins clinked to the bottom.
About ten minutes later Ada came up to me, again with open hand, and showed me five pennies and a quarter. She said "Moomey!" I said "No Ada, that is MONEY, lets go put it in your piggy bank." She put the coins in her bank and clapped as they clinked to the bottom.
About five minutes later Ada came up to me again, this time with two open hands FULL of change! "Moomey!" she exclaimed quite excitedly. I led her to her piggy bank once again, and giggled to myself as she clapped again as the last coin clinked to the bottom.
Now at this point I have realized that these coins probably aren't coming from the cushions in the couches or even from a pocket in a pair of jeans laying on the floor, so I decide to spy on her to see where she is getting her loot from.
I followed her into Dan and my bedroom and catch her on her tiptoes reaching into his dresser valet and blindly reaching for anything she can find. Good thing I followed her this time because the change was all gone and she came up with a $100 bill!!!
The picture is poor quality, but all I could grab fast enough was my cell phone...
Good job finding Daddys stash Ada!
Dan came home a couple of days ago with a wonderful surprise for me....2 bunches of flowers! What a way to make my day! He said he saw them at the store and thought I would like them, and boy was he right!
Today was Ada's first time playing with Play Dough!
She wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first, but after watching Tehya dig in she caught on pretty quickly.
Before I knew it she was up on the table squishing and squashing the rolled up balls of Play Dough thatTehya would make her
I love this picture. Tehya was zoned out watching the cartoons that were on the TV, and I think Ada was trying to figure out what was wrong with her!
As you may remember, Tehya got a two-wheeler bike for her birthday this year. Well, the bike was a little too big for her (and for training wheels) so mom and dad went out this weekend and got her another one to use until she grows a bit taller.
After having our upstairs toilet innards give out on us, Dan bought all new guts for the repair. I decided that I could do this all on my own and took on the task.
After removing all the old parts and scrubbing out the tank it was time to start deciphering the bi-lingual instructions that were not as clear as the box promised.
Flange A goes to Fill tube with a cone siphon gasket...blah did de blah blah blah. Who writes these things?!?!?
The parts appear to be assembled correctly and I decide it is time to turn the water flow back on. No leaks from the wall connection, no leaks when the tank fills so it is time to test flush....
DISASTER!!!! There is definately a leak now!
After MUCH discussion it was decided that Tehya was going to get a new hairdo. She has been grumbling quite a bit when mom wants to tie up her long hair and has been insistant on growing out her bangs which consistantly hang in her face.
Tehya (with a little bit of urging from dad) has been begging for a 3-spiked mohawk, but mom put the nix on that idea with the excuse that her dance recital is way too soon.
Tehya is very happy with the end result, a cute bob cut that is just above her shoulders. Mom thinks it makes her look way too grown up, albeit quite beautiful!
It was time for Ada to have her very first haircut this weekend. We went to the local barbershop and plopped her down in a chair.
After a little bit of fussing it was determined that sitting on mom's lap and getting a sucker would make the experience much more fun.
Ada did very well once the cutting started, although mom was a little sad that she is already this big!
Mom would only let Ada get her bangs cut as she is afraid of losing the beautiful curls in the back!
