Life of Vi

 The other day, Violet realized her penguin flashlight needed a new battery. She set about to fix the problem herself - she got out Daddy's special tiny screwdrivers and the batteries.

She is growing up!

 We had a park playdate the other day with some Mom2Mom friends. Violet decided beforehand that she would bring the soccer ball, goal, and Chuck E. Cheese whistle, and be the soccer coach. It was pretty cute to watch her try to round up the troops.

 A week later, we had a playdate at Charlie and Tommy's house. This was Violet's idea, too. Charlie loves insects and other creatures, and is a very creative, interesting boy full of ideas. The children played "aquarium" for a while with bowls of water, rocks, and plastic turtles, before deciding to color the turtles.







Violet's joke-telling continues. Enjoy.

(The last one is actually funny. If you can't understand her, it goes something like this: "What does the egg say to the other egg when he does his homework right? Egggsactly!"
