Safety First
Leah, Peter, Duck, Brown Bear, and Panda Bear went for a drive the other
day. Leah insisted on being hooked into her carseat. (Not to worry, the front
air bags of their British car have been disabled.)

The Clementine Ritual
Before we give Leah a clementine section, we hold it up
to the light to make sure it doesn't have seeds. Now she
thinks she can't eat citrus without first gazing at it in the air.

Not Too Sure
Rowena and Caroline came for a brief visit, and I watched the girls
for a few hours. Leah was not too sure about sharing.
Attempting high chair sabotage.

She got out the sprinkler and dragged the hose across the yard to
hook it up.

Elephant Awareness
This elephant has lived in our playroom since before Leah

twice last week and saw live elephants. Now Leah is thrilled
that she has an elephant of her own.
