Princess Gia

Since it's my last week with all three of my babies home with me every day, I'm being even more of a hermit than usual.  We spent yesterday playing games, dressing Gia up...  (Don't feel bad for her, she liked it, seriously, although she wanted the Buzz hat off after a minute.)  

 

              Cason was overjoyed when he saw her dressed as Buzz.                  

  There was also lots of play fighting, which turned into real fighting a time or two.

Then we ran in the sprinklers for a bit.  This is as curly as Paige's hair gets these days, and it only gets THIS curly right after it's wet, especially if I don't touch it at ALL while it dries.  If she sleeps on it, almost all the curl is gone.  People have been asking if she makes me straighten her hair all the time now.  No, her curls are just fading.  I would NOT straighten her hair all the time, it would be fried.  She DOES always want me to though.

 Last night after their bath, we got the bigger two to bed, but Neely was wide awake because she'd taken a late nap.  She made me put tons of flower hairties all over her head.

There are one or two more ponytails in the back. 

Jess is suddenly obsessed with free soloing, which is rock climbing with no ropes or anything, so that's great.  He claims he has no interest in ever trying it, just thinks it's amazing.  So last night he was watching a video of this guy Alex Honnold, who is crazy, and amazing at it.  Neely watched with him, exclaiming "CLIMB!  MONKEYS!" every so often.

Speaking of which, I never posted about how Neely was conjugating her verbs for a few weeks there.  If she wanted to turn a word into a verb, she just added "ENT" or "SENT" at the end.  No matter what word.  If she wanted help climbing, she told me "CLIMB!  CLIMB!  MONKEYSENT!"  Haha.  It was so cute.  It ended abruptly a week or two ago though.

This morning I made her all cozy in Caso's little armchair.  She kept smiling and saying "cheese", so finally I took a picture.  Then she wanted to see it.  I showed her and she said "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!  Neenee sleepytime."
