On Sunday morning I found a little baggie of clothespins in the drawer.  I had been keeping an eye out for some because playing with them is good for her fine motor skills.  I brought them to where we were playing and then looked around for something to attach them to.  I found a paint stirring stick.  It worked really well.  I started out holding the stick for her, and then she wanted to hold it.  A little bit later she said "Mommy, Mouth!"  She was putting the clothespin in her mouth.  LOL, so much for fine motor skills.

We had a really great weekend.  She enjoyed the crafting class until about the last 10 minutes.  At the very end I was sitting on the floor and Tatiana was in my lap.  There was a little girl who just turned 2 and had cried throughout  class.  While Tatiana was in my lap, the crying girl through her arms my neck.  She totally ignored that Tatiana was there and planted her belly on Tatiana's face.  I got her moved around so that she was on my left thigh.  Tatiana was fine with it, and the little girl sat there calmly.  Scotland said that she corrects other kids when they call their Daddy "Daddy".  She points to Scotland and says "Daddy".  So, maybe it made sense to her that another kid would want to sit in my lap. 

She has started to count things!  I don't know where this comes from.  She has trouble in the transition to six.  Then she gets 8, 9, 10 right. 

I also think she is the neatest one in the family.  I had her help me clean the floor of my closet and she kept commenting on the "mess".  A bunch of hangers had fallen on the floor and I had helping put them in a bin so we could take them to the laundry room.
