Today marks 31 months of our sweet girl.
(Forgot to hit "publish" last night)
♥ We're all healthy again - hooray!
♥ After a few weeks of blissful post-6AM wake ups, Viv woke up at 4:50 AM this morning ready and rearing to go - I tried to woo her back to sleep - but I knew it wasn't going to happen. Oy vey.
♥ Our early morning meant that when Vivian randomly asked for "pancakes!" at 6:45 AM, I was fully caffeinated and ready to make 'em before school!
♥ While holding Vivian's hand and walking to Viv's classroom after outside play, she felt so steady that I let go...and she just kept walking until she reached the picnic table (probably 6-8 feet). Viv's teacher, who so genuinely delights in all of our kids, jumped up and down and hugged me at the sight of Viv walking...and I felt thankful for people like her who love my girl so much.
♥ Miss Early Riser took a two-and-a-half hour nap - unheard of! I drank two cups of (black) tea.
♥ Hung out in her room to read stacks and stacks of books and play with her feltboard. Here's a video of some of her play (my editing program won't work so I can't edit it down [it's long, don't watch it all] and blogger won't let me upload it here).
♥ Made quiche for dinner.
♥ She fought going to sleep but finally gave in...
♥ ...so I could watch a little mindless TV and go to bed. Good night.

In the 4 o'clock hour!! Well, maybe Viv just needs no sleep to perform walking stunts and such! Her secret weapon!

Vivian, I loved watching the video of you playing with your felt board. Your communication and imagination are amazing! Not to mention, you're just a wee bit cute, too! :-)
Walking, asking for pancakes, healthy?! Waking up at 4:50? What a day! I'm exhausted too! What a great snapshot of a day in life of sweet Miss Vivian {and her amazing mommy.}

That video was great. She is so precious. The first thing I thought, too when she put that pig in the sky was "when pigs fly". What an amazing achievement that she walked that far. I am sure your heart was bursting with pride. Yay, Vivian!
Much Love,
Mary (and Caden)
