We read scriptures, read other books, had Jack tell me one of his books, went to the park, did laundry, did dishes, tidied, and had Family Home Evening. Lily said "Shoes? Shoes?" while I picked up the shoes, followed me to the bedroom, then "rescued" them from the closet where I had put them. She then handed them to me imperiously and plopped down on the floor, which means "Put these on my feet!"
She's learning how to play rough with Jack. It's fun to watch them wrestle. She never lasts long before she doesn't like it, but that she likes it at all for even a few seconds is pretty neat. She LOVES it when she sees Jack wake up for the day; she always wakes up before him and reaches for him, wanting to go tackle him and wake him up.
We learned a little bit of German from our downstairs neighbor (we have 5ish downstairs neighbors, but only one from Germany). Neither of us thought to make a coherent lesson plan, so there wasn't much language taught, but Tim learned a bit about the layout of the city he'll be in (I was wrangling kids). I think it'll be a good idea to try to do some German lessons online, and have him come correct our pronunciation weekly or so. He said that there are a few Americans in Germany who get the pronunciation so perfectly that nobody can tell they're not native, until they get a gender wrong. Which, by the way, there are THREE genders in the language, not just two. I found that hilarious; I think it's hilarious in the first place to have genders in language at all, but then to have 3?
Jack came and found me to tell me that Lily was distraught. I thought that was pretty neat. He loves that little girl :D
Lily choked on a piece of carrot she found on the floor. I chopped up baby carrots to go in soup yesterday, and a few pieces fell on the floor; I thought I picked them up but I guess I didn't :( It was just the right size to lodge in her throat. It came out pretty quickly, but it was scary for both of us! She cried for a while afterwards, poor kid, until I nursed her :D
So, in bragging that I got everything done on my list, I'm realizing that I spent very little time playing with my kids :( I guess that's how it goes. At least they have each other to play wtih; they played together with their toys a LOT today. Hopefully we'll play more tomorrow :D
Jack climbing at Johnson Park near our house, back in June. I was impressed that he climbed that far, so I grabbed my camera :D
Lily in the bright morning sun, also back in June :D
