We had a fun week of going to the park and meeting new people and playing with the kitchen. Mary Eloise is beginning to discover more of the world around her and different things around the house. Something new she does not like is the vacuum. When I turn it on, she turns and runs away (our dog Millie, however, is hot on my heels). I will see ME peek around the corner and inch closer, but she runs away when it comes near. To hopefully help with this fear, I leave the vacuum out a few minutes before I start, so she can look at it and touch it. I also decided to take some of the attachments and leave them out so she can play with them like her own vacuum-- that she loves. She will "vacuum" the floor minus the sound-- too bad it really doesn't vacuum. Now on to teach her to mop!!!
Mary Eloise also loves her kitchen. This past Christmas a dear friend of ours, Penny, found this great kitchen at a consignment shop and bought it for ME. A few weeks ago on a rainy afternoon, I brought it upstairs for ME to play with. She loves to go over and play with it and her grocery buggy her Tee gave to her for her birthday. This week, Tee brought over a bag of play food that Rhett cleaned out of his old kitchen-- ME hasn't been out the kitchen since! She really loves a microwave that he sent-- it has buttons, lights, and sound, and she likes to carry it around.
Other than that, we enjoyed a low key weekend, and ME and her daddy enjoyed a nice lunch with Mim, Reed, Tee, Grandaddy, and Aunt Ra on Saturday, while mommy went up to work to get a project finished. We have really enjoyed the feeling of early "fall" being in the air-- it has been a much needed break from the humidity and heat.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
