Nyla's Chore

We have just started trying to get Nyla to do some chores around the house. So far her job is cleaning the toilets. I got the idea from a friend who said her kindergartener loved cleaning toilets. So one day I asked Nyla if she wanted to learn how to clean them. She did and was really excited about it. Here she is doing her job.

Nyla-isms

A few comments from Nyla over the past few days. While playing pirates:

Nyla: We're pirates, and we like apples.

While we were playing cave people:

Nyla: Where's Mama?

Me: I think a bear ate her.

Nyla: Yes. There are lots of bears around here.

Later, when I tried to insert an anachronism into the play-acting:

Nyla: Cave people did not have guns.

Today, when I came home from work in a dress shirt and jacket:

Nyla: What is that outfit? What is it all about?

this and that

I heard a gazump! I looked. I saw something pop out of the stump, it was our little Lorax.
Nyla and Punzie in their Dollie and Me clothes.
Pat and Nyla climbing a bur oak tree.
Celie and Pooh.
Our New bed! This is technically our Christmas present, but Pat let me buy it a little early. It just got delivered today.

Newport Rhode Island

Pat and I went to a wedding in Rhode Island over the weekend.



We saw a cool topiary garden.
