Anita has a rocking chair

Anita and I went to the thrift shop after work and found this great little rocking chair.  She had fun all evening and worked at getting in and out of it on her own.  Tomorrow is court so we did a little retail therapy to alleviate anxiety this evening.

New shoes

Our friend Lesliegh gave Anita several pairs of shoes but it has been these ones that are too big that have been the source of entertainment for a couple days.  She loves to put them on, take them off and even stand up and look at her feet in them.  Jim has also had a fun time helping her with them.

Fall decorations

Put out a few decorations since the fall is getting here so quick.  Anita pretending to ignore the scarecrow and then pulling his hair.  We put stickers on the front door and she is watching dad mow the yard.

bath time

Anita was in the tub tonight and had her feet crossed under the water.  I said, "can I have those toes to wash?"  and the brilliant girl that she is lifted her foot right out of the water.  At this rate she might just skip elementary school.  :)  We're heading to Hull tomorrow to visit and still trying to not get very excited for Wednesday but atleast I did not hear from the attorney on Friday to reschedule.

still sick

Great Grandma trying to hold onto a wiggle worm

My poor baby is still sick since the 15th.  Over the weekend she did go visit great grandma Cline to get out of the house and then on Sunday we went to urgent care.  They said what they always do when the don't know for sure, "it's viral."  Gave her Amoxicillin and said if she's not cleared up in 10 days to return.  Not thrilled with that answer but she is making some improvements.  Holly brought her a push toy to walk with and she has been using that a little this week and then took her first step with no hands tonight at grandma and grandpa's.  She stands up for a few seconds before getting afraid and dropping but tonight she went from one chair to another and let go with both hands and went.  I'm sure she'll be running around by her birthday so everyone had better watch out.  Especially Kristina and her cat, Gorgeous.  Two of Anita's favorite people to chase after.  Court is less than a week away but I'm trying not to think about it or get excited because this is where we were one month ago before it was cancelled.  Saying lots of prayers.

only one hand and I'm walking

dinner time

Who loves crackers with a little peanut butter on them??

Kristina's 1st day at kindergarten

Today was a great day for Kristina going to kindergarten for the first day and she had a blast.  This also meant that Anita lost her playmate and was very sad about it.  Grandma said that Anita went to every room several times looking for Kristina and yelling out for her.  Grandma felt so sad for her.  The only joy Anita felt was when she was allowed to enter Kristina's room and play with her stuff for the first time.  Anita shook her head no when she knew she wasn't supposed to be touching some stuff but she finally did it anyway and giggled.  Grandma was keeping a close eye and enjoyed watching Anita having fun.  She still sounds a little like darth vader but is definitely clearing up the cold.  This picture is of her playing in her room and letting the air conditioner blow her hair in the air.  She loves sitting in front of the vents and catching a breeze.
