We went to Arkansas this weekend to see Brad’s Sister and brother in law. I had kind of been dreading the long trip but it turned out to be nice, pretty restful really. They have a huge backyard and Giada enjoyed running around in the great swath of grass. When we opened the door she said Wow!  Poor deprived thing – our house has no yard really – A little bit in the front. We went to the little city fair and Giada was so exhausted she fell asleep while we were sitting listening to the bands. Don’t know how she does that. She is stringing words together now. “Mommy’s funny!” You’re funny” is a big hit right now as is “I did it!” We’re full on into potty training and she is doing pretty well. Her school is potty training her as well and so it helps.

We also had our pre school picnic where they had a bounce house for the kids. I thought – no way – she is way to little for that but she climbed right in and went crazy. I guess I need to start reevaluating what she is big enough to do.
