We've got a knitter!

Bug has always enjoyed playing with yarn and whenever I'd ask her if she wanted to learn how to knit she would say "When I'm bigger." Last Saturday, while at the local yarn shop, she saw a 5-year-old girl who was knitting. The next day, I got out some yarn and needles and knit a couple of rows for her. I then taught her a poem to remember what to do. (she loves poems)
She was so proud of herself!

Bug also confused her daddy last weekend. He was outside and she opened the door and shouted "Dad, I need the grass measurer!" It took me a minute to figure it out....she wanted the yard stick!

Fun at the Children's Museum

Bug and I went to the local Children's Museum on Saturday. We usually go on weekday mornings, when the climbing wall is not in use. We weren't sure if she was big enough to climb. She asked the guy if she was. He said "are you 5?" and she squealed with joy that yes, she was! Notice, she got to keep her hat on under the helmet. Does she look excited?
Once she realized that she shouldn't hang onto the rope, she did pretty well.


At this point, she got a little scared, so he brought her down. She was probably 10' - 12' up.
The giant teeth are one of her favorite things to climb on in the museum.

They were having a teddy bear clinic the day we visited. Bug got to help put casts on her new bear's legs.
