Two weeks ago, Bridget and I were at the dollar store and I let her choose one toy. She picked these foam beads that you string. She’s strung things before… wooden beads, and fruit loops… but I guess that foam beads were a fun new challenge and provided just enough variation to re-peak her interest. […]

Draw
May 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments · bridget
Probably about a year ago we bought a magna doodle for Bridget. Its just one of those small ones (travel/sacrament meeting sized). She calls it her ‘draw’ – “I need my draw” or “Mom, where is my draw.” She kind of goes in phases where she uses it all the time or neglects it for […]

Potty Talk, Volume VI
May 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget
Since the last Potty Talk post things have improved quite a bit. Bridget had been in a bit of a slump, and I think that she was loosing hope that she’d ever get another PEZ dispenser. We decided to try for sort of a mini goal and award her a PEZ dispenser after only 3 […]

Sidewalk Chalk

The other day Bridget and I were outside playing with sidewalk chalk. We traced her body and added a face and some clothes (inspired by the chalk outlines drawn on our driveway this past April Fools). And then I started writing “I love Daddy” – when I told her what it said, she starting singing […]

Last week we took Bridget to the park. She recently got up the courage to go down some of the bigger slides by herself, so she was pretty actively showing off. We decided it might be fun to teach her how to slide down on her belly. We were at Willow park – the big […]

He said. She said.

Bridget has made an interesting development in her language over the last couple of weeks. She’s started to recount events telling us who said what. Its pretty neat to watch her language develop like that. Previously she would say tell stories from her perspective only and without dialog. But now… Here are a few “He […]

Some day my Prince will come…

Last week Bridget and I were over at Hilarie’s house playing with Kambree and Konner. We had a great time. At some point during playtime Bridget came out of the kids room dressed like this. She was so adorable. Thanks for taking pictures for me Hilarie! She has just started to really like dress up. […]

Boxed Up

One of the things we’ve been doing to prepare to sell our house and move is to pack up things that we don’t think we’ll need in the next 6 months and haul them to a storage unit. We figure that will not only make our house less cluttered and easier to show, but it […]

You may remember my first “Hair Chair” post. Well, Bridget is at it again. This time her subject was Marissa. Take a look at the master at work:

Denver
April 27th, 2008 · No Comments · bridget, dave, family, random, tina
Earlier this week Dave went to Denver on a business trip. He was gone three days. The trip got me thinking about other times we went to Denver. One day while we were dating (summer of 2004) we were playing with my video camera. When the display showed the time zone as “Denver,” we were […]
