Labor Day (morning)

Hannah slept all night last night and did not get up until 7:20. WhooHoo!!!! She had fun staying in her pj's all morning. She showed us all of the things Miss Sara teaches her at gymnastics. I think she would jump all day long and never get tired. We enjoyed a nice lunch on the porch and then she took a good nap.

lazy day playing

Since Hannah woke up with a fever this morning, we did not go to church. Hannah has rediscovered the books and puzzles we put in the cabinets in the living room. She will sit and read and do puzzles for long periods of time. When she was finished reading and doing puzzles she got her babies to play with. At school they must cover them up and then pat their backs. She is very into covering everything up and patting its back. I love to watch her play with her babies and listen to her talk to them.

What makes a girl feel better?

Getting her toes done. After giving Hannah her bath this morning I polished her toes. She wanted to see all of the polish I had. I sat out four choices and she chose pink. Imagine that! She sat on the counter and let me paint them, then dry her hair while her toes dried. When I put her down, she said, "Thanks mom, they are so pretty."

She seems to feel a little better this morning. I took her to the doctor yesterday because she is coughing and has a runny nose. I wanted to make sure she was not wheezing. She was not but the doctor wants us to go back to Pulmicort twice a day and Albuterol three times a day through the weekend. She said if she is not better by Monday to call her back. She woke up at 4:30 this morning and had thrown up and had a fever of 102.5. We put her in the bed with us and gave her some Tylenol. She did not have a fever when I put her down for nap. I hope she is on her way to getting over this bad cold. I am glad we all have the day off tomorrow.

fun with MeMe and Pop Pop

We were glad to have MeMe and Pop Pop come to spend the weekend with us. Hannah was happy to see them when we got out of the car Thursday night from Kindermusik. She went to school on Friday and dad got the spend with day with them. Yesterday Hannah spent the whole day with them, while Derrick worked and I went to school to work and to get my toes done. They had to leave this morning to go back to SC. Hannah says she is going to MeMe's house tomorrow. Thanks for coming and spending the weekend with us.

making connections

The other day when we were coming home from school Hannah was talking. She said, "Mama, you are Nana and Papa's daughter." I said, "Yes I am." Then she said, "But you are my baby." I told her no that she is my baby. She did not like that. I am impressed that she able to make some of the connections. That is a hard thing but she is learning all of the family connections.

milk & cookies

That is the theme for Kindermusik this semester. When we pulled up tonight Hannah said, "There is Ms. Amy's house." She was very excited to see Ms. Amy and all of her friends. She did really well following Ms. Amy's directions and participating. She is very fun to watch and listen to.

rain, rain, rain

We had lots of rain this week. I think it was Monday night that Hannah wanted to sit on the porch and watch the rain. She liked hearing the rain and watching it. I am amazed at the things she pays attention to and helps to do. I am glad we have to covered porch to sit on the listen to it rain. It was very relaxing.

nite nite dad

Hannah likes to cover you up with blankets now. Derrick was getting her ready for bed and all of the sudden it got really quiet. I went to check on them and this is what I found. Hannah told him to lay down and was covering him up. She would then sit by him and pat this back. At school Miss Amanda and Miss Paige pat the children's backs to get them to sleep. I got her to lay down with Derrick and I patted both of their backs. She is so big and misses nothing.

such a big helper

Mama was helping me tear my math books apart. Hannah wanted to help too. Thanks Mama for all of your help. You saved me a lot of time.

watching the deer

Uncle Kyle was very quiet and was able to get on the porch and not scare the deer. Hannah whispered while they were outside and that did not scare the deer. The flash on the camera scared them a little. Hannah likes to see the deer and is getting good at whispering so she will not scare them.
