• Spring Day

  Today has been a very nice Spring Day.  We spent the morning at the Library.  Savannah has been interested in the nonfiction books.  She wanted to know about the Civil War today because they had a bunch of books set out and a display for the Civil War.  So we got a book and have been reading about it.  When we got home Savannah said she wanted a picnic so we packed the wagon with a blanket and lunch and ate in the park.  It was nice.  A fun activity we have been doing is filling up a bowl with water and taking a paintbrush and painting pictures on the driveway and sidewalk with the water.  She loves it and so does the neighborhood kids.  I just tell them to bring their own paintbrush.  Savannah's tumbling class is over.  So now I am in search of her next class.  It needs to be play interaction with kids.  She does all desk time at home.  She is learning each letter and their sounds.  She gets the point but like today she was trying to spell her name and she got to A and said like egg.  I guess if you didn't know egg could be spelled agg.  It just amazed me that she was trying.  The Potty training is going well.  She never wears a diaper at home except when she goes to bed but she ends of taking it off sometime in the night.  The past two weeks we have ventured out to the grocery store and when I have errands, she has been fine.     I think potty training is more on me being persistent.  She is fine as long as I take the time about every hour to take her.  She might have some accidents some days but no big deal, everything washes.   She does use the little potty chair by herself without even asking for help, which is nice.   She hates the toilets that flush by themselves.  She won't even consider sitting on them.  She says it is an eyeball looking at her and keeps flushing.  Every place we go I think we have to visit the bathroom.  I hate using public restrooms but when she has to go I have no choice.  I don't expect Savannah to take a nap anymore.  She may fall asleep some days if we had a big day or she got up early.  I can get her to bed by 10 if she doesn't take a nap and she can be up till midnight if she does.  I don't care either way...I have always let her be on her own schedule.  Yesterday for Earth Day we planted some plants around the house.  I have so much more to plant.  It just amazes me at what they charge for plants.  I always end up buying from the 75% rack where the plants are almost dead.  I take them home transplant them and with tender loving care they end up beautiful.  Except I am still working on an Orchid.  Which is being very stubborn to bloom.  David has been on a traveling schedule the past four weeks, he usually is only gone 2-3 days out of the week.  Which does not bother me except sometimes I might get frustrated on things never get done around the house unless I do them.  This past week I read the owners manual on his electric drill, I have done research on plumbing.  I just learn to do it myself.  I never want to hire anybody to do it.  I figure I can learn to do anything.  Except I am coming close to having my yard aerated by a professional.  I have put hundreds of dollars of grass seed in my back yard and it is still a mud pit.  I should of done it last Summer.    I have done a couple of sewing projects.  I made a teddy bear and a baby blanket for gifts.  I am also finishing up a teddy bear for Savannah.  I think my next projects will be curtains.  Which will be easy except I have trouble picking out what fabric I want and colors, just too many selections.
