Bob (the tomato)

Right before dinner, I asked Lena what she wanted to eat. She said "Leaves", which is her word for salad. So at dinner, I had a salad and shared some with her. She kept pointing to my salad, so I thought she wanted more "leaves", to which I gave her some. She kept telling me that wasn't what she wanted. Finally, she pointed at my salad and said, "I need Bob." I figured out pretty quickly she meant the tomatoes. She loves to watch Veggie Tales, and for those that aren't familiar with Veggie Tales, the tomato's name is Bob. So, we went to the store after dinner, and I picked up a thing of tomatoes, and Lena goes, "No squishy Bobs." She is such a funny girl, and she keeps us laughing.

Reading to sleep

Yesterday afternoon, I put Lena down for a nap and gave her a few books to look at before going to sleep. I went in to check on her later on and this is what I found. She read herself to sleep.

Valentines Day Pictures

I know, Valentines Day was last week, but I wasn't able to make my computer work to post pictures till today. So, here are some pictures I took of Lena outside of the church building on Valentines Day. My favorite is the middle picture.

Park #1

A couple of weeks ago, I took Lena to a couple of parks near our house, but wasn't able to make my computer work to post pictures till now. Finally!


Lena tried to pick up all the rocks on the way to the slide, because she thought they were in her way. I informed her she didn't need to "clean" the playground. She tried the little slide, and thought it was too little, and then moved on to the big tunnel slide. She absolutely loved going across the bridge, and up to the slide, down and then all over again. We stayed there over an hour. She loves the park.

Park #2

There was a neat playhouse at this park that you could climb in. Lena loved going up and down the stairs and to the lookout at the top. She also loved the swings, sand, and bouncy thing.

Posting pictures

I took Lena to the neighborhood park yesterday, and she loved it. We were there for over an hour. She screamed when I took her to the car. I think I'm going to make this a regular thing. Tomorrow I think I may take her to another nearby park that is a little bigger. I took pictures yesterday at the park, but for some reason, I'm not able to post them on my blog. I'll take more pictures tomorrow at the other park, and then maybe I can post them all together tomorrow (if it's working!) Sometime, I want to take her to the zoo, but James wants to go with us, since it would be Lena's first time at the zoo. I may even try bowling with her sometime this summer. Is there a water park that is around town?
