Farm Labor

We had a fine day yesterday. Kiva took a 2 hour nap in the afternoon too, but woke up full of zest and fun. We picked lettuce for dinner and she remembered her garden shoes, even though they were put away. We had to put on mine and hers before we went to our farm. Had a lovely hot tub soak to recuperate from our farm labor.

Kiva's language is just taking off. We have long conversations now, and she knows to repeat herself or try to speak louder or clearer when Grammie doesn't understand or hear her. Lots of pretend activities with the stuffed animals too, as her imagination takes off. She has the set of mice that Joy made, and one is "grammie", one is "baby". We spent a lot of time putting them down for naps yesterday in little beds (with pillows of course). She is very tender with them and gives them little loving pats as she tucks them in.

I'm so proud of her riding the horse the other day. She was proud of herself too. [Joan]
