Don't Cry

Stephen was having a blast rolling golf balls down this contraption at the children's museum when he noticed a little girl crying nearby. He walked over to her with a golf ball in each hand and gave them to her, then pointed her over to this contraption. He got her to come over and had her roll the balls down, and she stopped crying.

Wow that made us feel good to watch happen!

Children's Museum of Phoenix

We had a great time at the Children's Museum of Phoenix, which isn't a museum as much as a collection of different play areas for kids.

Sarah's Almost-First Time On A Tricycle

Getting Ready

Papa: Sarah, today we are going to go to a really fun place. It's like the library and the McDonald's play area together, but a lot bigger!

Sarah (grinning ear to ear, puts head in hand like she can't believe it)

Sarah (thinks): They have horsies?

Papa: Well, no...

Sarah (thinks some more): They have a cocina? (a kitchen?)

Drawing 2

Sarah has done another drawing. Of course I am the least objective of observers, but I was totally impressed by this one. The improvement over the one the other day is impressive. You know, considering that she is not yet 3 years 3 months old.

Leep

Sarah: I wanna leep!

Papa: You want to leep?

Sarah: I wanna. Sssss-leep!

Drawer

Stephen is still small enough to sit in the drawer. He likes to pull out all of the plastic containers and climb in to sit and play.

Chicken Soup

Mama was feeling kind of sick. 

I told her I would make her some chicken soup. She was excited. She was even more excited when I told her that my chicken soup is very good. 

Then I told her that the only thing is I never know how to get the feathers out of the soup water. 

Then she told me that she wanted to make the soup herself. She is going to the store now to get some potatoes.
