Annika and I had our second swimming class tonight. I got to meet the little boy and his mom that are in Annika's ECFE class on Friday's. She was really nice and her little boy was a cutie pie. Annika did just fine in the pool. She does really well floating on her belly. She's not as much a fan of floating on her back. At the end I started a game with her. I put her feet on the side wall of the pool and told her to push off, then I zoomed her into the pool on her back. She thought that was pretty fun. Hopefully this will help her feel more comfortable on her back.

Annika keeps doing such cute things. Today she decided she HAD to have baby Stella (her Cabbage Patch Doll) with her while she ate dinner. As I was heating up the left over lasagna, I gave her a couple pieces of cheese to eat. She ate one and tried to feed baby Stella the other piece. Then tonight she found her nose sucker (bulb syringe or whatever it's called) and decided she needed to suck her belly button out. Too bad her belly button is already an outie - no need to suck it out baby girl!

Annika is finally let us read a whole book to her also. Usually we get a couple words on each page before she turns the pages. Now she'll actually sit still for a whole book. Granted, she doesn't do this all the time but once in a while we get through a whole book!

Monday night Auntie Krystle was over so we could scrapbook. Annika was standing next to an end table trying to type on the laptop. My cross stitching basket was next to the end table so Annika used it as a step stool to get closer to the laptop. Worried that the basket would slide across the floor and Annika would do a belly flop, I took her down, closed the laptop and set the basket on top of it. Annika was trying to push the basket off the laptop so she could type some more and the basket fell to the ground. I walked back over to Annika and stood behind her, not saying anything. She slowly turned around, looked at Auntie Krystle and I, and said "uh-oh." It was hilarious. It was right on cue and her tone was perfect; guilty and sorry and knew she had done wrong. Auntie Krystle was laughing so hard she practically fell off her chair. I said, "yep, that was sure an uh-oh" while trying my hardest not to laugh too. Then I moved the basket so it was wedged between the table, the wall and the hutch and opened the laptop. Now she could stand on the basket and type and I didn't have to worry. Seriously, where does she learn this stuff?

A pastor from the church we visited on Sunday stopped by this afternoon to chat. He told us more about the church like how many people they have, what groups and resources they have and what their philosophies are. Based on those things, I don't think this is the church for us. The pastor was very nice though.
