Some things I have Said. and Done

While discussing just what to plant in our garden this coming year, Julia announced something profound:
"I want to grow some fruit. Good fruit. Not the kind Adam and Eve had in THEIR garden."

The Library has some fun books on simple signs. We picked up a few because a new skill is always fun to acquire. During supper, Daddy likes to ask Julia about her day and what she learned. So we reviewed a couple signs....Cat, Dog, Boy, Girl...then Julia created her own sign...on the spot. She pinched her neck, right under her chin, and pulled out to the side. "This is Polar Bear." she said. i have to admit. we laughed so hard that she does it a lot now. haha. but she truly thinks that is the sign for Polar Bear. i wonder what it really is??? i like her interpretation. heehee.

Whilest in the basement doing laundry, i overheard some pounding steps above me....some drawers opening....some clanging. At first i was worried. Then i recalled that lunch was near....and part of me thought..."hmm...could my daughter be SURPRIZING me with some lovely gesture of kindness??" Upstairs i found her with two forks in hand, "Mommy do we need forks?" aaawwwwww, she was setting the table for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so touched.

Just before naptime Julia and I did some Prenatal Salsa Dancing (from a video i borrowed at the library). I like it for exercise...almost like really slow and easy aerobics. :) haha. i can't wait until i can do something that makes me sweat and burn....and is harder than climbing stairs or mopping the house!! haha.
