the mouse pad

Timothy has discovered how to use the mouse pad. We put it on youtube for him so that he could watch the trailer of the new Smurf movie. Gee Gee was going to take him to that, but that's another story. He spent far too much time surfing the videos and we learned a good lesson about monitoring computer time for kids.

casting like a pro - almost

We're so proud of Tim's newly developed casting skills.



I'm not tired; I'M sleepy.

an interesting place to rest

He didn't actually fall asleep, but he did have a longish rest.

lissa and mommy

As Paul was putting Tim to bed the other night:

I love you.

I love you too, and so does Mom and so does Luke and so does Gee Gee and so does Gramps and so does Gran and so does Grand-da.

And Lissa.

Yes, and so does Lissa.



One morning last week:

Can we go to Addie and Emily's house and play now?

No, Addie is at school this morning and Emily is at work.

No, no. Mommy's don't work.

fishing

We spent the night at the cabin and after an afternoon of fishing, finally had some luck when the sun started to set and the wind died (duh). Tim helped me reel in a fish, feeling it pull on the line. Then he helped Gramps feed the fish. He didn't want to come home, which is new. He's so much more independent up there than he has been in the past. It's going to be a great summer of cabin visits with him this year and in years to come. If only he'd sleep...
