Water water everywhere
Today was another fun day with the girls. This morning Mike is certain he heard Diana call to him. While I was upstairs in the shower Mike heard a voice say, "Daddy, daddy." When he turned around he saw Diana looking up at him with a smile on her face. Mike was impressed with how clearly he heard his "name." Shortly after telling me this story Diana said, "Mommy." Mike was quick to point out that "mommy" was less clear than "daddy" and "daddy" beat out "mommy," but it was cool nonetheless.
As a linguist, I have to question whether Diana really knew what she was saying. As a mommy I have to say, "My baby is SO SMART!"
Amelia was a bit tired today. She was kind of emotional when we set off for the grocery store and cried when she found out we weren't going to her gymnastics class. She was very good in the store, however. Probably because she knew good behavior would lead to a ride on a carousel horse.
I'm trying to encourage good eating habits in my daughter, so I have a policy of letting her select any fruit or vegetable she wants from the store. Today she wanted a red bell pepper. Once she selected a nice red pepper she asked for a green pepper. Ok. So, I picked out a green pepper. Then, she asked for a yellow pepper. Mommy chose the smallest yellow pepper she could find.
I honestly didn't expect Amelia to eat three bell peppers and tried to figure out how best to prepare them when I got home. I bought a second onion and some sirloin strips and made plans to make tacos or fajitas.
When we got home, Amelia helped me empty the grocery bags by removing each of the peppers and placing them on a tray next to Mike's chair. I asked if she wanted some of the peppers to eat and she said, "Yes." I washed the peppers and cut some slices from each. Amelia ate all the peppers I gave her and asked for more.
She what does any of this have to do with water? Nothing. I haven't gotten to the water story yet, hold your horses ;).
I cleaned the fish tank today. I tried to involve Amelia since, one day, she may be cleaning a fish tank of her own. I put the fish in a glass bowl and asked Amelia to leave it alone. Well, as I cleaned the bowl in the kitchen I heard a strange noise. I didn't hear glass break, and I didn't hear Amelia shriek or say anything peculiar, so I kept working. Amelia walked into the family room and didn't say a thing...Though I did notice that her socks were wet.
Once the bowl was clean I started to carry it back into the living room and found the floor rather wet. Little wet footprints covered the floor and the temporary fish bowl had about half the water I had poured in it before. In fact, the fish were barely covered. I asked Amelia if she had tipped the bowl, but got no response. I guess I'll never know exactly what happened, but I have a good idea.
