Babysitting and Water Play

Wednesday I babysat Olivia. That evening, Kaitlynn and I went to MawMaw's to run some errands.

Thursday I babysat Olivia.

Kaitlynn showed Turtle her room.

Kaitlynn played peek-a-boo with Olivia. Olivia gave Kaitlynn the biggest smiles while playing.

Friday after Olivia left, Kaitlynn, Dave and I went outside. We watered the tomato plants and Kaitlynn played with the hose.

Afterward, we ate dinner and did some yard work in the front. Kaitlynn was so happy to be outside.

Kaitlynn had a tough week. She does not like when we are at home too much. She threw temper tantrum after temper tantrum. She missed her friends and going to our usual places (Grant's Farm, the Zoo, the park, etc).

New Addition

Dave and I got Kaitlynn a turtle. We weren't sure if she would really be interested in the turtle or not. We weren't sure if she would like it or be afraid of it. Well she absolutely loves it. She named the turtle Turtle.

Monday morning she couldn't wait to check on Turtle. She is not afraid to touch it or pick it up either.

I told Kaitlynn that we should take Turtle outside for a bit. She knelt down and asked Turtle if it wanted to go outside. She informed me that Turtle wanted to go. So we took Turtle outside to get some sun and "exercise". Kaitlynn loved it! When we came in she said "Oh, thank you momma!"

She also enjoyed watering the tomato plants. She is such a good helper.

She is really taking care of the turtle. For now we are keeping it in a box. She changes the box, gives Turtle fresh lettuce and carrots everyday and puts water in it's bowl. She is so responsible! I guess she is a typical first born.

Water Play

Thursday May 21st Kaitlynn and I went to my mom's. Kaitlynn cracked me up while I was getting ready. While I was putting on my make up, she said "Good job mommy". Then, I guess she got bored watching me or tired of waiting for me, so she went into her room and started trying on shoes and modeling them for me. She liked her sandals and rain boots the best.

Friday the 22nd, Kaitlynn and I played outside. I got the hose out to water the flowers and tomato plants. Then this happened -
