Exploration

It was Whacky Wednesday at A's school.  I told her to put together something, well whacky!  She walked away as I wondered what her whacky was going to look like.  It looked like this.

I am responsible for the hair.  We may be chopping off her beautiful hair because it's causing her too much discomfort.  It's getting hot and all that hair (very thick) is making her miserable.  She doesn't really like to play with hair and has no desire to learn how to put her hair up in a pony tail.  She whines when it is time to comb her hair and by the middle of it she is screaming, "I just want to get outta here!"  She is oblivious to what her hair looks like and would be happy to walk around with knot-ridden hair.  Watching her try to shampoo all that hair is like watching a snail move.  Although, Coach absolutely loves her long hair, I think we will chop it all off.  It'll serve multiple purposes.  It will be easier to wash and comb/brush.  She can learn to do both as it grows longer, yes?  Yes.  It will keep her cooler in the Summer and then she can grow it back during the school year, yes?  Yes.  There will be less whining.  Yeh!

I usually cut her hair, but I think this time around I will bring her some where and get it done by a professional.  When A was younger, she had short hair and it was really cute on her.  I think it'll be fine, sigh...  Anyway, I like her whacky.  Good job.

I took Baby outside to let her do some exploration.  I tend to carry her around a lot since we are always on the move.  So, when I get a chance I let her explore.  She of course loves it, perhaps I should let her do it more often?  C'mon B, let's explore!

Yeh!  Where shall I go?

She seemed to gravitate toward flowers.



Hmmm?  What is this?

Look at those little hands!  Her curiosity fascinates me.  Hey B, those are my pianese flowers.  They hadn't bloomed yet.  Don't touch!

B had been watching her brothers pick blowers off our weed infested lawn and was searching for more blowers to play with for herself.  Once she found some she bent over carefully and pulled it from the ground.  She drew it closer to herself to examine this fluffy flower.  She stared at it and then opened her mouth and shoved it in. 

Woah, I didn't think she was going to do that!  I couldn't help but laugh!  Can you see it in her mouth?  I think she was a bit stunned and disappointed herself.





Yah, well, I don't think she'll do that again.  Yucky!!  Hey B, guess what?  it's time to go inside now.  That's enough for today!

Wahhhhhhh!  She was just getting started, too.  Well, I haven't introduced honeysuckles to her yet.  They are growing next to our drive way.  Yummy!  I think she'll like those more than the blowers.
