Durham


The girls enjoyed some fun time outdoors this weekend.  The weather was fantastic and company even better.  All three girls took to the trampoline.  I was surprised Adeline put up with being bounced around.  She couldn't stay on her feet when the other two were jumping.  Luckily, Lila and Savannah would stand still for Adeline's turn which allowed Miss Belle to jump her heart out.
The Wii was the favorite indoor activity.  We don't have any video games or hand held games in this house so Wii is quite novel for the girls.  They love to watch Joey and Brian be silly with their characters but when Joey started flying planes, Adeline was hooked.  Miss Adeline picked up the controller and started pushing buttons like she knew exactly what to do.  She didn't want help and needed to narate her flying patterns.  I was really impressed that she could physically use the remote while visually committed to a TV screen.  She is a kid who forgets the visual component to tasks and will, for example, start painting while not looking at her paper or address someone while looking at someone else.  You would have to see how Adeline works in her everyday environment to appreciate how impressive this was.


Sleeping was interesting.  The girls played musical beds and the two little ones both decided to give Nathan's crib a try - not at the same time however.  I thought it was pretty funny.  Lila went back to her old ways and spun circles all night.  How quickly pretending to be a baby becomes exciting even if they were the baby not so long ago.
