5/18 Daddy’s Last Day Off

We ran errands today while Todd put in the base molding behind the barrister so all the books could be moved back out of the dining room. Violet is always very interested in playing with the 14 piles of books that need to go back upstairs and we are tired of trying to distract her from that area of the house. We are still working on Mama and Dada. Those are her only English words so far but everything is still Mama (food, toys, etc.) so we are now learning that there is only one Mama. We found a basket for her toys and she wanted to be a toy! Grams and Gramps gave her a mini radio flyer wagon that she puts her baby dolls in and pulls around. A big hit because it is just her size!
