Last night I sat down with Melinda and watched her.
It really is amazing. She's so wonderful. One of these days she's going to figure out how to sit up (or roll over or stand or compose poetry). She is so happy (most of the time). She smiles and giggles and loves to play. She likes to do bicycle legs (not so often to the Da Song anymore).
Last night, Tracey and I attempted to assemble our photo wall. This is a project that we've been discussing for over a year. We (she) finally went out and purchased some frames for the pictures we knew we wanted to have up on the wall. So last night, we were checking who we were missing. We started this immediately after dinner and at about the same time that Melinda got "The Crabbies". She hadn't napped, so we figured, put her in the bouncy chair, rock her a couple times - bam! she'd be out and we have an hour or so to figure out our photos.
No luck. She cried for half an hour. In exasperation, I fed her, Early for her - she was in bed by 8pm. Melinda and Tracey were up early this morning. Melinda was (of course) bright eyed and bushy tailed. Smiling like nothing happened. Tracey is (as always) a little slower to let go of the night. Melinda and I read the newspaper together.
The wall is not complete. I'm voting that Dad&Winnie go get a nice photo taken. We've got lots of casual stuff, but no nice pictures. The other problem we're having is that many of the frames we like have no wall mounting. Argh!
Julianne and Todd and visiting this weekend. Melinda is looking forward to the first meeting of an aunt and an uncle.
Turns out not so much in the pondering world. Much more rambling than pondering.
