Monster Baby

I've been a big time hermit lately.  More so than usual.  But I'm not gonna lie, that's how I like it best.

One of Neely's new favorite games is to sit up on the window sill and play peekaboo.

I went to the trouble(and it WAS surprisingly hard) to find almond butter that hadn't been made on equipment shared with peanut products, so that I could finally introduce Paige to the joy of a peanut(well, almond) butter and jelly sandwich, and she refused to try it for months.  I kept buying it anyway, because it's one of my favorite things to eat, and at least I could have it without worrying about getting peanut on the counters or my hands or wherever Paige might come into contact with it.  But yesterday she finally tried a bite, once I promised she could spit it out if it was gross.  Surprise, surprise, she liked it.

She also wanted to sew a baby monster, and we finally got around to it yesterday.  She did really well.  I sewed the button on for her, and cut out the shapes, but she did pretty much all the sewing, other than the last little section after we stuffed him.  

 

We even made him a diaper she can change.  :)

She had piano this morning, so we walked her there.

Then we came home and the other two played out front until it was time to go pick her up.  Neely got out of her stroller and sat right down on the wall, looking at her orange crayon, which she calls her "Coyor". She kept peeking at me out of the corner of her eye, trying to look melancholy.  

She didn't fool me, but Cason felt bad for her.  He brought her the Super Why toy, to make her feel better. 

 

She took him and said "Thank you!  Happy day, Supee Why!"

I finished my snailee friend.  He turned out pretty much like I wanted him to, although I'll probably make a couple of small changes.
