Too Good to Wait For

Usually we give an update once a month on what Callie is doing. It gives us the time to build up a good collection of pictures and stories. And we don't exactly have the time to update more frequently. But there comes a time when you just have to share a few things, or in other words, boast shamelessly about your child.

We start with another video. We have titled it "Brilliance", but we can also see how one might title it, "Early Uber Organizer". Either one works.



Tonight we were looking to have our dinner without having to get up every second to run after Callie. We decided to combine the high chair with some of Callie's favorite kitchen supplies. Who doesn't like colorful little bowls? Twenty minutes later, we were no longer hungry and Callie had stacked and restacked those little bowls over and over again. In fact we had to pull her away from them so we could put her to sleep. We'll keep you updated on what else she likes to stack. We are hoping this skill will allow her to reorganize either the basement or our linen closet.

Next we have a brief picture interlude. Callie has always enjoyed her stuffed animals, that's for sure. But now she has discovered the pure joy that comes from sitting in a big basket surrounded by them. It doesn't get much better.



We are also happy to point out Callie's name puzzle we got at an art fair in Berea this summer. In any case, Callie loves spending time in her room with her animals and books.

Last, but not least, another video contribution. Our next door neighbors, Sharon and Chris Chrisman, have been very good to us, and to Callie. We have enjoyed spending time with them and they are certainly one of the reasons why we like Lexington. But we digress a little bit. We mention this because in the video below, Callie is sitting on Chris's lap as she goes for her first taste of ice cream.




Who knows when she will develop a taste for ice cream. If she knew just how good Graeters ice cream is, she would definitely change her mind. So there you have it. Just a quick little update. Summer ends this weekend and fall is in the air. It is the best season of the year, don't you think? Until next time...
