Down On The Farm ...

Whew ... day 4 of summer break!

We've done pretty good at keeping LeAnna busy ... and NOT "bored" ... AAAHHHHHH!

I knew the first week would be a bit difficult, just getting her used to RELAXING and DOING NOTHING if she wanted too ... she just hasn't wanted to! - ha!

oh well ...

Yesterday she went with Allison, Jaden and Sopie to Victor and Suzanne's farm in Franklin ... SO nice of Allison to invite her to go! It was something else to put on the calendar of "things to do" this week! - woo-hoo!

They had a great time!

Before they left I had talked with LeAnna about being obedient and staying right with Allison, not leaving her side, do whatever she said to do, mind, have manners, do what's right ... you know the drill - right?!

So ... Allison said that LeAnna was right by her while all the kids were off playing ... LeAnna wouldn't leave her side ... finally Allison decided to ask her if she was okay ...

Allison: LeAnna are you okay?

LeAnna: yes

Allison: do you want to go play?

LeAnna: yes

Allison: well why don't you go play with the kids?

LeAnna: my Mom said to stay right beside you!

ha! Hallelujah! She remembered what I said! - ha!

Allison told her that she was sure that Mommy meant as long as Allison was "around" she was fine to go play with the other kids!

... so she did!

They seemed to have a had a really great time! She pet a sheep ... she met a "Ginny" - it's a type of bird ... and actually got on a horse! She's been talking about doing this forever and when we would take her to a horse, she would refuse to touch it or get on! So this was a milestone for her ... and she LOVES horses! So ... very cool for her!

What a happy day for LeAnna!

AND while she was gone, I actually got to do a few things I had been wanting to do around here! One project was - I went through her entire room - drawers, closet, etc. and bagged up all the clothes that no longer fit and refolded the ones that do and placed them in their respective place ... I'm sure that MY child is the ONLY one who can't decide what to wear and unfolds and tosses everything in the drawer around until she finds the "special one" of the day! ha! oh well ... all straight now!

Lovely!

Tomorrow is Adventure Day ... and she chose on Monday that it would be "Mystery Day"! So ... no telling where we'll end up! But the idea, is to find a place to eat and then find something to do ... we'll see ... should be very interesting!

"Mystery Day" is in the adventure box one more time ... but I'm thinking that when it's drawn next time ... that we're going to take a box with us with "left", "right", "straight", and "turn around" in the box and we draw from the box until we end up somewhere cool!

oh well

happy day ... tammy
