Doll furniture

Those first two are a place for her 'pink stuffies'.   She did the decorating.  At bedtime lately, I've been letting her continue to listen to the audiobook when I go to bed.  She was demonstrating that she left a designated place for my phone.   Scotland gets the phone when he shuts her door later. 

The last is a playpen she made for that dolly.   That had been mine, and it has always made a sick sounding cry when it turns over.   She was being a good mommy and holding and jiggling the dolly.  The stroller on the right is loaded with all the essentials of baby care. 

She truly gets cuter every day.  

Bedtime dollies

When Tatiana was younger, she didn't show too much interest in her dollies.   A little, but mainly when girls came over to play.   Lately she has really enjoying her dolls.   When she can't sleep she gets up and plays with her dolls.  Lately she has really  been enjoying organizing her doll clothes.   I tried to get a photo yesterday but it didn't work.

Yesterday was an AHG meeting.   None of the normal leaders were there so I had to wing it.  The badge was Daughters of the King.   Part of the discussion was on royalty and how they act.  Since there was only 4 girls we had lots of time to kill.   The girls took these interlocking foam squares that are normally in a square shape and made them into a Princess Walk.

escape room

When I got home yesterday, Brody and Toby were over.   Brody and Tatiana were preparing an Escape Room for us adults.  It was adorable.  Toby was reading one of Tatiana's books in the hallway.   Earlier in the day they wanted to watch TV.   Scotland told them only if it rained.  Later it drizzled, and they were happy after hoping for rain.  He declared that a drizzle and not rain. 

Cleaning room

Yesterday Tatiana cleaned her room, but didn't finish.  After our part of bedtime, I told her that she could listen to the book.  Later she was listening to the book and cleaning her room.   At one point Scotland went in to tell her that lights had to go off in 10 minutes.   But, then he saw her carefully putting books from the nightstand into the bookshelf.  He still gave her a time limit but it was much longer. 
We are listening the John Grisham YA series Theo Boone.   She continues to listen when I go to bed, then in the morning I listen up to where she left off during the day. 
Scotland and Tatiana are shared reading the Anne of Green Gables book.   Tatiana wanted her and I to continue to read the same book since she didn't want to stop.  Because otherwise she'd have to 'wait an entire 24 hours.' 

Sunday

Sunday we spent at home.   Tatiana was cleaning.   This barbie had just gotten a shower.  Tatiana is putting a little towel on Barbie's hair.  Tatiana is walking so that is why everything is blurred.

Saturday - Kayla Birthday party

Tatiana attended the birthday party of Kayla and Jenna.   Kayla is 8 and Jenna is 6.   Tatiana met Kayla at soccer a few years ago.  Tatiana wasn't that interested in playing for some reason.  It was at a Gynastics place, that is why they are wearing tumbling clothes.

Thursday Lunch

We got to see Godfather Ty at lunch on Thursday.   She was leaning against his arm so cute so I brought out the camera.   She then proceeded to duck away from the camera.   Then I got mad at her.  So, they posed for this photo.  She'd had a normal face, but the camera caught her mouth in a funny position.   Earlier she had called Ty, "Daddy".   Ty was pleased.   That gave me a chance to tell them my "Other Child" story.

Comixology

Tuesday evening on the way home from dance Tatiana called me, "Daddy".  I responded, "Other Child" as if that was her name.   She thought that was so funny.   I told Scotland and he was impressed too.  I said that I'd probably used 5 year's worth of creativity.   A little later talking to Scotland, I reminded him of when I changed "It's My Party" into a potty song, and how at the time I'd said I'd used about a decade's dose of creativity.  He responded, "And that was about 10 years ago, 

Later that night he'd told me about a membership that allowed you to borrow comic e-books and that Tatiana might want to use her Fire for that.   Wednesday when I got home, I set that up on her Fire.   They have a free trial one-month membership.   While I was setting that up Tatiana wanted to have a 'tea party' with me in her tree house.  The weather was super nice and Tatiana had been on the swinging bench.   She was soooo cute with the tea party.    There was a mix of plastic fake food and dirt as fake food.   Different colored dirt was different foods.  I tried to use the Kindle to get a photo but it was too dark by then. 

When setting up the Comic book app, I downloaded a "Sonic the Hedgehog" comic and showed it to her.  She read that, then she downloaded an 'Adventure Time' comic.   She didn't get time to read it before bedtime started.  But, when mommy-bedtime was done, I told her that she could read it.   She looked so adorable snuggled up in her pink blanket reading. 

Speaking of adorable.  Earlier during daddy-bedtime, she had requested that Scotland get a book, and then they would each read their own thing.   Scotland was soooo happy.  They were adorable, but I didn't get a photo.
