Princess beadstringer

Here's another picture from Parker's very happy day last week. She was making a necklace and singing in her falsetto princess voice while wearing her dressup stuff. Her idea for this came about while I was cleaning the kitchen. She came running in the kitchen and said
"I'm having a good idea of something I can play by myself! Do princesses do beads? That's what I can do, I can make a necklace! Will you get me the beads please?"

Some Parker quick hits

Here's Parker, examining a dremel tool set, standing on a chair so she can see the top of the counter. She knows this area is a clutter 'hot spot' so she knows to check there often for new and interesting things. I have no idea what the deal is with the sunglasses.

A funny:
(stop me if I've posted this already)
Parker thinks it's soooo funny to sing:
"A, B, C, D, E, F, banana.
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, foot..."
etc etc

At school, they are singing "This is the Day" during music, and practicing it to sing during chapel, whenever that is. I downloaded the song and put it on her kiddie MP3 player and she was THRILLED. I showed her how to replay it, so she did, singing out lout, over and over again, for 3.5 miles this morning in the stroller. It got a little monotonous, but I prefer it to "mooooooooom, can we go hoooooooome?"

------------------------------
The aforementioned MP3 player was left laying around while playing, so I confiscated it and put it "up". When she found out, she of course had a large 3 year old fit. About 15 minutes later, she comes in to the kitchen and hands me my cell phone, and says "Here's your phone. You left it out".

Mani-Pedi walk

I painted Parker's fingernails and toenails this weekend. She walked about like this for a long time.
No real news. We are getting used to our school schedule and such. I am hosting a baby shower this weekend, so we are doing a lot of cleanup and whatnot to get ready for that.

My blogging has slacked off a bit because I've been making Bob's lunches and getting his coffee pot ready during my normal blogging time. He's working long hours lately, and going in super early so he gets home in time to play with Parker a bit, so I'm helping out with that stuff so he doesn't have to bother at 5am or whatever crazy time he leaves for work.
