A few weeks ago I was looking for a fun project Bridget and I could do together, and I found myself on this website that has really cool paper dolls that you can download and color. I particularly like them because the dolls looked like young kids (or babies) rather than grown-up looking teens. The […]

Sick kid (and Validation video)

Bridget has spent the last couple of days sick. The poor girl has had a stomach ache and a fever (it got up to 104 on Friday). All she wanted was to held, and she actually asked to take naps/go to bed. Surprisingly she even felt bad enough to turn down offers of Popsicles and […]

Jesus blesses the children

Last night we were reading from Bridget’s Book of Mormon reader. We got to a chapter titled “Jesus blesses the children.” I asked Bridget if she’d like to read about how Jesus blesses us. She glanced down at the page, and immediately exclaimed, “How come Jesus shows up there? He doesn’t ever show up here […]

Bridget had her first hot fudge Sundae the other day. In the past when we’ve tried to offer her things like ice cream toppings she refused. She just wanted the cherry a top her regular bowl of ice cream. Silly girl. Needless to say, when she finally tried it, she loved it. I think we […]

She’s been asking a lot lately if I have any homework for her to do. I’ve ended up printing a bunch of random worksheets from various online resources… she can sit for an hour doing worksheet after work sheet. She gets so excited too… “I did it!” Hopefully this enthusiasm lasts through high school and […]

The Sharpener
March 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · bridget
Bridget has recently taken an interest in sharpening pencils. She can often be found with a handful of them and a sharpener nearby. And they all get sharpened, whether they need it or not. I guess its a good thing pencils are cheap. I wonder how long this fascination will last…

Baby Swing(s)

I setup the baby swing for Spencer in the playroom last week so he could be entertained while I played with Bridget. I didn’t realize that it would change what we were playing… Upon seeing Spencer in the swing, Emma (Bridget’s doll) had to swing too. Bridget spent the next 10 minutes pushing Emma in […]

Childproof?
February 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · bridget
Bridget learned how to open childproof caps on medicine. She asked me for a vitamin a couple of weeks ago. My hands were full, so I told her to hold on a minute and I’d open them for her. She insisted she could do it herself. I told her to go ahead and try, but […]

Budding Fashionista? Mini Model?
February 18th, 2009 · 6 Comments · bridget, random
I ordered some clothes online for Bridget a few weeks ago. There was a GREAT clearance sale. I was excited to have Bridget try on the clothes. But she was even more excited. She was quick to want to try on everything and dance around while she did it. She’s such a girl. Naturally, I […]
