It rained almost the entire time Grandma and Papa were here. But I still convinced them to play outside with me.
I would find Papa and say “rain, rain” and “water, water.” He ALWAYS took me outside. And he was so patient with me while I played and played and played in puddles and the water collected in the fire pit.
Papa also dislodged all the toys (mainly finger puppets and too-big balls and, oh yeah, a piece of an octopus from a pop-up book) I stuffed down my Busy Ball Popper. Finally! It worked again! (I may or may not have two finger puppets stuck in it right now. Mom’s working on it.)
We also went to the zoo!
Nini and Papa came over to visit. They all watched while I did my puzzle. It was a lot of pressure. I’m really good at matching colors. I’m not so good at putting the puzzle pieces exactly in place.
I also showed off my bracelet-wearing trick for them.
