One Now and One After Lunch

Kiva was a little darling (as usual) yesterday. We had a good day in our three way mutual admiration society. Kiva went with me to my physical therapy appt, and was so well behaved! She read her books while I was being hooked up to the electrical devices, then laid with me on the table to read books while the treatment was underway. We are still working in our workbooks in the morning and she did a dot to dot puzzle by herself...it went up to number 14. We also went shopping since Kiva said the special thing she wanted after the Dr was candy. She seemed to already know the way to the See's candy store in Sunrise Mall :-) and was very good about "one now and another one after lunch". When we were walking through Penny's Kiva was admiring the dresses, and would always say "that one would look beautiful on my mommy".....at least until she saw a really sparkly prom dress, then it was "that one would look good on me". We got a new bathing suit for her, since the 2 year old size one she has been wearing is finally getting too small. We got a very pink, very sparkly one with a short skirt that she was just thrilled with and we tried it out in the hot tub. I had to get a size 5, so as you can imagine she has plenty of room to grow in it. We worked in the garden and Grandpa dug up a very large fat worm for Kiva at her request, which she took care of and played with until we went inside, then she set it free in the lettuce patch. Kiva was really enjoying playing with the toy tools too yesterday. She was wearing the little tool belt and had her screwdriver, hammer and pliers all ready to take care of anything that needs fixing. She looked adorable of course. [Joan]
