A Day in the Life of Mary

Mary has learned the word "crazy", but she says it "cwasy". She came out of the bathroom with this hairband on and said "Me cwasy" with a big smile on her face...

...Then she meandered around until she caught sight of her reflection in a pot that sits on a low shelf in the pantry. She stared at herself for a long time. I'm sure the distortion was quite facinating :)

All kids (all of mine anyway) love to play at the sink. Here Mary has just discovered that she can reach the water with the help of her stool.



Yesterday Mary surprised us by counting up to 8! I have never heard her say anything but "1,3,10" when counting until a couple of days ago when she counted 4 buttons on my shirt. I guess it's no wonder since she copies everything Rebekah does and says. Here Rebekah has her repeating the answers to her math facts as she answers them aloud.

Little Miss Mary has a retro look with that head band on..."Flashdance" I think. I can't wait to see her in person. Douglas sees something of me in her. Maybe the crease in her wrist. :)

I've thought the same thing before - about the face not the wrist:) Dark eyes for sure - but other pictures show the similarity even more.
