We went to Hy-Vee one day, usually we are Cub Foods shoppers and Amelia was lucky enough to receive a balloon at the end of the trip. She loved this balloon until Mommy had to make it disappear because she was becoming very demanding with me and the balloon. She figured out that if she let go of the balloon it would float up to the ceiling and I would have to go get it for her. So I tried to tie a toy to the end so it wouldn't float. She cried. So I took off the toy and attached a very long ribbon to the balloon so she could always reach it. Well now it wouldn't go all the way up to the ceiling. She cried. The balloon disappeared.
I had closed the piano for some reason and we opened it back up again. She loves to play on the piano and plays something for us almost daily. Usually she makes Daddy come over and play with her and as she is with all things, she has a precise plan and he is to follow it.
We inherited this Elmo alphabet toy so now Amelia thinks she needs to learn letters. I was happily teaching her colors thinking how appropriate that was for her age. One night she started talking to me about triangles and before I knew it she had most of her shapes down without me really teaching her. She also decided that she would like to work on numbers along with everything else and can consistently count up to 6. Yeah, my little overachieving, multitasking, determined little girl doesn't remind me of myself at all.... ha ha
Her hair is getting longer and I've been managing to get it in a ponytail without the whole thing coming apart within an hour.
Because of gymnastics she has become obsessed with stickers. She can now take them off of the paper by herself and loves to share them with everyone including pup pup and Mommy. I always have to check over my pants before leaving the house to clean off any stickers.
