The Perfect Day:

as told by Laine

"when I was a little girl, I made cookies; then we went to the park with Sam. Next we went to Monkey Joe's and to have ice cream. Then we rode the train to the library and after we came home... well actually we went over to Ava and Courtney's... oh and they went with us to the park and Monkey Joe's and to ice cream and to the library"

Sounds like a busy day :)

Just an observation...

I have a very smart daughter, well I'm bias of course but the level of understanding that kids have is remarkable. Lately I have been trying to limit TV, just while at home, grandparents houses don't count. By limit don't think she doesn't watch it at all because she does, I mean not sit if front of the computer for long periods watching Mickey, Pooh or Imagination Movers (also equally loved by my 1 year old). In giving her the opportunity to play, I realized she has an amazing imagination. Today for example, she pulled out one of her swimming suits that matched her tutu and put them on with some white shoes that kind of look like ballet shoes. Then she danced around the living room for 30 minutes singing to the top of her lungs; so cute. She is always coming out of her room with some kind of pretend costume on. Anyway, this may be some shameless bragging but I think my little girl is pretty rad. Oh and I'm not saying we will stop watching TV I mean after all she had to see the ballerina somewhere right? I just love watching to see what she comes up with.
