A little of that... we're just going about life, having fun and enjoying new adventures! Harper just turned 2 1/2, but sometimes I think she is going on 4... she has begun to ask the question "
why" all the time! Sometimes she accepts your explanation of things, sometimes she follows up with another "why", but we think she's learning a lot by asking. I can tolerate about 50 why's before I cave and say that's enough for now.She is big into dress up shoes, purses, nail polish and dressed (Oh-oh!!!!)... looks like I've got a
princess on my hands! She loves to help me bake, cook, clean and do laundry. She will actually ask to help with laundry ("londee") on non-laundry days! Such a nice little helper! We take her everywhere... she loves the grocery store and will ride the horse after if she is good (which is every time!) and says she is riding
Lakota! Too cute!
Harper's pretty nails.
If the answer is no for something, she responds, "But I NEED to!" Oh my... she's clever. She is counting to 10, but will sometimes count 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1. She loves to paint and will do it for hours a day if we let her. Now that the weather is warming up we'll be taking loads of trips to the Zoo, parks and hiking trails.
Harper just started her first swim lessons without us in the water with her. There is 1 instructor and 4 kids. They all stand on a platform in the water and one at a time they work on kicking, paddling, back floats and jumping in the water. She's getting really good at it and is very comfortable with the instructor. Tom or I watch from the edge of the pool... at first we were nervous, thinking she was not advanced enough but she is learning so quickly!
She is at Jackie's daycare two days a week and loves it! I went back to work at CTRC a few weeks ago filling in teaching this session. I am loving it and enjoying the break from "house stuff". It's definitely a change, but Tom has been really supportive and has picked up the slack at home and with Harper.
