Saturday we attended Arlington Library’s Teddy Bear Picnic and Parade. We brought 5 bears, although Flopsie was the “main bear.” Becca’s favorite part was the parade. She loved marching around in a line with all the other kids, holding Flopsie and Flopsie’s Little Brother. She has read a few books about parades, so I guess that helped in her excitement. Becca also loved playing with the giant parachute. I was delighted that Josh could go with us. Looking around, there were very few couples at the event. It’s nice to have a husband/Daddy who is not only willing to go to Teddy Bear Parades/Picnics but also enjoys them.
All continues to go well with Little Brother’s progress. Monday marked 33 weeks. I’m now visiting the doctor every other week (seems to make the weeks go by faster). My day and nights are filled with lots of Braxton Hicks, so hopefully this little one is getting ready for a regular delivery.
A few random bits of information on Becca. Weight: 26 lbs. Height: 33.25 inches. Her lower 2-year-old molars have come in (resulting in several rough nights for me). I suspect that the top two are getting ready to make their appearance. Becca usually wakes up somewhere around 6. She makes an effective alarm clock for us. The other day she woke up and called, “Mommy – Mommy – I can’t see!”
Phrases from Becca:
“But my hands are empty.” (she says this only at times when it is completely irrelevant to whatever else is going on; once she told me this at 3AM!)
Last week when Becca was praying right before her nap, I zoned out (since she tends to mumble during prayer) the next thing I understood in her prayer was “and this little piggy went wee, wee, wee all the way home.”
“Hello Kitty Cat – you are so beautiful!” (said to a stuffed panther)
“Mommy – you are wrong . . . that says Papa Bear.” (when showing Becca how to spell her name with blocks)
After cleaning up some water she spilled on my placement: “Mommy – I clean it up – I spent a lot of time (cleaning it up!).”
“You look kinda green” (said to me last evening when I came home piano lessons wearing a green shirt)
