Little Writer

On April 30th Josh and Nikki flew in town.

Lana showed everyone what she knew using the 'Little Writer ABCs' app

and counted out loud for everyone.  The when counting different shapes she said "clocks" in a low voice. Had to be there but it was funny.  And again later in that little low voice she told us she couldn't find Bopis phone and said sheepishly with that sad face "I lost it" but she didn't  :)

She's a player!

Lana is really growing up fast.  Now if you ask her "how are you doing?"...she answers "I'm two and a half" and then laughs.

The night before Easter we were at home playing a game of trivial pursuit and baby wanted to play.  So we got the Brain Quest card deck she has for 2-3 yr olds.  She did a terrific job of making a controlled roll of the dice, after she threw the first one almost off the table.  She learned she needed to wait her
turn.  She really played a very respectable game...and she won! Every question was a pie and she aced her questions.  It took Ran, Alli and I another 30 minutes to finish up, while she went on to other activities, probably something more intellectual. :)  It was awesome.  She's so smart. I hope to get her in a board game again. And the pic is terrific for how well she did.  She looks like a 'play-ah'.


Later that week she did something that showed how so sweet she is.  She came upstairs and into our



room, just before her bedtime.  She came up on the bed to jump around like a monkey with Bopi.   I was on my laptop and not playing enough attention to her, when she jumped backwards, throwing her head back quickly and right to the top of my shoulder bone.  She didn't seem hurt at all but it really caught me good and she could see that I was visibly hurt for a few seconds.  She waited a little and then kissed my shoulder, before saying good night.  That was nice.  I went back online and again was engulfed in what was doing, when around 15 minutes later baby came into our room quietly.  She lfted herself on the bed and crawled up to me.  She didn't say anything but just kissed my shoulder again.  My heart just melted...really.  She's such a sweetheart.
