We spent all afternoon outside....I have never seen a child that could have so much fun pouring water from one thing to another. Maybe my girls did it, too, but I don't remember it.
I think I have given myself permission to just sit back and watch her...she is young only once.
Friday night she was in a snacking mood...so Sarah had fixed her two or three snacks...and she wanted more. So Sarah told her there were pickles, string cheese, pepperoni, and I forget what else that was low down where she could reach it in the fridge. She kept wanting her mom to come and Sarah wanted her to do it on her own.
Lorelei just kept on, and Sarah told her to go get it by her self...either take it or leave it. Lorelei sort of stomped into the kitchen and said, 'I'll take it.'
I can't resist adding this one of her having Otto in a headlock. I was sitting in the shade shooting into the sun so there are too many shadows where they shouldn't be. Still you get the general idea of what a great dog Otti is. His name is Otto, but we call him Otti...
And the above is one Sarah sent me this evening of Lo and her friend Emily...taking Otto for a ride in the wagon. Sarah said he got in very willingly but didn't stay long.
so cute! What a nice sleep over you had :-)
ReplyDeleteFinally! It doesn't seem like she has spent the night with you in a long time...
ReplyDeleteThese are just too precious! And what a good playmate Otti is!

Adorable indeed . . . happy for you that you can enjoy her as much as you do . . . they grow and change so fast!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLorelei is growing up too fast - and the wagon shot is priceless!
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet, sweet! I was told that the first time I insisted upon a snack and my mother was busy, I made a mustard and jam sandwich. Hoo-boy!
ReplyDeleteYou have several priceless shots of Lorelei. I liked them all. The close portent type shot is especially good I thought. Otto has some patience to play with the girls. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Rose. What a funny and fun girlie she is. It seems we have more time and maybe energy to enjoy ours grands more than we did our own. Never the less you are enjoying her like I enjoyed my Kylee who now is 20.---But still fun although I don't see her so often. MB
ReplyDeletelove the wagon dog train.. to cute. the photo of L pouring the water is really priceless.. what a fun sleep over
ReplyDeleteSweet photos of Lorelei! I love reading about the things she says. lol!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that she got to be your hostess! That's really wonderful and I know you enjoyed it very much. I love Otto and the fact that he even got in that wagon says a lot about his personality. :)
ReplyDeleteShe is such a joyful child with a brilliant smile. Bless Otto for being so patient!
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you all could go to Sarah's home for the day/night.... I know that Sarah loved every minute of it... Will she be in Kindergarten this coming year????
ReplyDeleteDoes Lorelei eat well at mealtime? Does she eat most everything --or is she picky like some kids??? I used to make my kids eat what was in front of them. Sometimes it was hard --and once, Jeff had to sit at the table for an extra hour just go get him to eat his peas!!!!! ha ha
Hugs,

What a sweet girl :) So nice that you had a sleepover!
ReplyDeleteI love sleep overs with the grands...that Otto is a really nice dog. :) I hope you get to have many more.
