She did find some dandelions. Those were fun. She picked them, all two of them, and wanted me to smell them. Then she smelled them too. That left yellow pollen on her nose.
She was an absolute doll outside and let me take some great pictures. She even wanted to play "hide and seek" around the tree.
Adia was still a goofball at dinner. She really has a great sense of humor.
Unky Eck came back from Italy last week too. Adia was super excited to see him. She acted shy at first around him, but quickly warmed up. She only wanted him to sit with her in the car, when we got ice cream and he was the only one who could hold her too. That made him feel very special. She passed out in the car on the way back to the house and Unky Eck carried her to her bed.
We've been working on letters with Adia lately. She still refuses to count, but she's getting good with the letters. It still makes me laugh when she says, "A B C D O P R S T." She's getting really good at recognizing both upper and lowercase letters. It's surprising me how fast she's absorbing it. At meals we'll look at her Sesame Street placemats, one of which has letters on it. She'll point at the letters she knows and ask me the ones she doesn't.
DiDi visited this last weekend. She brought PigPig with her. Adia was excited to see both of them. Adia helped DiDi fold laundry or should I say, she enjoyed lounging in it while watching TV. Adia loves clean laundry piles.
Adia also loves her PigPig. She held her all by herself and requested leaves to feed her. She was great with her. PigPig quickly ate the "leaves" and then Adia requested carrots. PigPig's not as big of a fan of carrots. She's the first pig I've ever met that didn't devour them. Since PigPig wasn't eating it, Adia ate it instead. Thanks to DiDi and PigPig, Adia actually likes baby carrots now. It works for me!
On Daddy's day off, we went to the mall. Adia got to play and then asked for Orange Julius. We all shared one, but I think Adia drank most of it. I was surprised when she actually shared it. She's normally very possessive of it. We also rode on the escalators. It's one of Adia's favorite things to do at the mall. I laughed so hard this time though because she called them "Funalators!"
We went swimming on Wednesday night, like usual. DiDi didn't come this time since she was still busy rearranging her living room. She bought a play kitchen for the girls to play with at her house and it didn't fit where she thought it would. That resulted in a complete room rearrange. Adia can't wait to play with it this weekend. We did have Gramma and Unky Eck for swimming though. She had a blast with Eck. Daddy and Eck took her down the slide over and over again and out deep in the wave pool. Then Eck chased her around in the baby pool or she towed him around. She loved it. She fell asleep hard in the car and slept through dinner afterward. Luckily, I got her to eat a bunch before swimming. She ate almost an entire can of Dinty Moore stew by herself! She slept all the way home and until 7 this morning with only a brief wake up around 5:30.
Before swimming, Daddy also introduced Adia to the Nintendo Wii. Adia's seemed interested in it so we thought we'd try it. They played Duck Hunt and somehow, Adia got some points. She doesn't quite understand that she has to point the controller at the TV, but she understood pulling the trigger. It really made time fly before we had to leave for swimming.

Wow! She really let you take some great pictures indeed!
Kids start playing soccer on a team at a real early age. She could probably start when she's around 4.
