- Talie fell down and told me she bonked her mustache.
- T is very matter-of-fact about death. Particularly about Scout's death. She told me that on the first day of school, she is going to tell her teachers that her puppy died. This has been going on for months. She just randomly mentions the fact that we don't have any pets because our dog died -- she tells random strangers, friends, me. She was SUPER upset about something random this summer and spiraled into "I MISS DADDY WHEN HE IS AT WORK! AND MY SCOUT PUPPY DIED!" It is heartbreaking.
- This spring we were inundated with caterpillars -- it was awful. They ate up all the leaves and were pooping all over EVERYTHING. I brought an umbrella to the bus stop. THEN, we had them sprayed because seriously, it looked like November out there -- no leaves at all, and it started RAINING CATERPILLARS. It was out of a horror movie. The cute thing though, was that Talie called them "calipidders."
- Talie was an early riser for a while there but she can't tell time yet so we got her a little clock to let her know when she can come out of her room. Now she comes in and whisper-announces: "My tock turned DEEN!"
- Most of her Cs are Ts or Ds. Oh and she adds and extra -ed to a lot of things like "I poopeded on the potty" and "The store is closeded."
- She was rolling rocks and shells down a chaise lounge at the beach and goes: "bye bye ... forEVAH ..."
- These girls are all showing the physical signs of a great summer -- Elliott was in the shower and told me she looks like she is still wearing a bathing suit! I swear she is lathered in sunscreen, but she is BROWN! Both of them have bruised shins and scraped knees from lots of outdoor fun -- Elliott has a bruised head from a botched back flip in the shallow end of the pool -- I think she was working on her synchronized swimming routine she's been choreographing for her and Isa.
- Mark the date: Quinn laughed on August 27.
- I don't even want to say anything about it but I will: Quinn is a great sleeper. She's only up once or twice a night and only for 4 minutes at a time. I think there was only one night where she wanted to party at 2am and maybe one other night when I woke Jason up to help me because I just couldn't nurse her to sleep. Our roof STILL isn't fixed so she's still in with us but once the construction is done, we will be able to move everyone back to where they belong and hopefully get a full night's sleep or two ... Maybe ...
