Tatiana reading to herself

We spent the weekend at home.  Tatiana likes to just play with us at home so we had a home weekend.  Lately, Tatiana has been fascinated by turning on the heated mattress pad on the mommy-daddy bed and then coming later and tucking her legs under the covers.  On Saturday, she wanted to play connect-four in the bed.  She did pretty good.  I think she won about half, because it seemed that we took turns winning.   I didn't give her any help except sometimes acting excited when my next turn would win to give her a clue to look for where I could win.

Later we did the Kiwi crate which was making equipment for a magic show.   Then she gave me some magic shows.  It was sooooo adorable.   The first trick is to take the clear solid plastic 'magic' wand and rub the end with a piece of thick felt to charge it.   Then use the wand to pick little pieces of confetti.    She explains that she is rubbing the wand because "It gets so dirty".  

Sunday evening, we were in the living room.   I was working on the new HTPC computer, Scotland was on the floor putting together Lego and Tatiana was on the couch looking at her Flip-Flap Body book, and reading to herself. It was sooooo adorable.   Warmed a mommies heart.   At one point she said, "Neat, the ear is attached to the brain"  

Later on Sunday, she took a bath.  I asked her what her favorite part of the weekend was, and she pointed to me.
