We're back in Eugene as of yesterday. After going to the park and eating lunch, Adia and I drove home. Adia waved frantically to DiDi and blew tons of kisses to her, but the second we were around the block, she started crying for DiDi. She was not happy to leave her. I was able to keep her happy with Necco wafers until she eventually fell asleep.




When we got home, she was super happy to see Scott, who was still asleep. We waited for him to wake up before asking him to go grocery shopping with us. We went to Costco. As we were waiting in line to check out, Adia threw a huge fit. She screamed at the top of her lungs and didn't want anyone to touch her. She hasn't had a spaz out like that in ages. Scott took her outside where I met up with them. They were sitting, watching lots of "trucks" (according to Adia) and she was saying "Hi!" to all the birds.


The second we got in the car, Adia started asking for milk. I didn't have any with me, but we were headed to the store anyway. I gave Scott some cash and he took Adia to buy her a milk box. She loves the little boxes of milk with a straw. She ended up losing the straw in the box though and made a big mess with the milk. When we got home, she didn't want to go upstairs, she wanted to play in the grass. She played until her feet were muddy and she started yelling "Yucky!"


She wasn't too interested in dinner, but she stayed in the bath for quite awhile. We fell asleep watching Grease together. She was snuggled up against me, clapping to the music. I counted her fingers, which she loved. When I got to five, she'd yell "Five!" and start laughing and squealing. She helped count my fingers and then her toes. Then she laid back against me and fell right to sleep.

She was up bright and early at 7. She spent most of the night kicking me because she was sleeping across the bed. It's her new favorite way to sleep. She gave Scott tons of kisses when she saw him and was eager to eat breakfast. I was debating about whether to walk or not this morning, but Adia made my decision when she brought me tights and a pair of shoes. I think she was hinting. She loved the walk, especially the walk back because there are blackberry bushes all along the road. She saw them and started yelling, "Some! Want some!" I think she ate her weight in blackberries and was upset when I had to tell her no more.


She took a bath when we got back, but only because she knew I wanted to get in the shower. She took forever to get out of the tub, but didn't complain when I showered. We played and danced to music, she even helped me put her clothes in the dryer. She acted like she wanted lunch, but wouldn't eat much. She did lick all the cream cheese off her toast and drank her peach juice, but didn't want the bread or peaches.

Since there's a Duck football game today, Adia had to sport her new duck t-shirt. I think green's a good color on her. When I pointed to the duck on her shirt, she lifted her shirt and started kissing it. She's also been saying "Duck" all day. The only bad thing about football games though is Scott has to work long hours. Adia got a few minutes with him before he left at 2. She gave him tons of kisses and was sad to see him leave. She soon fell asleep though, which is nice for me. She was getting a bit cranky.


Before we came back from Florence, Adia got to spend some time with her Gamma, Gampa and Auntie Colie. We had dinner out there, even if Adia didn't realize she was supposed to eat anything. Colie took her outside and they played in the grass, one of Adia's favorite pastimes. Gamma and Gampa just got home from a trip so the grass hadn't been cut in awhile. When Adia was sitting in it, the grass came up to her shoulders. She loved it!
