shoelace tying

Yesterday, Tatiana proudly demonstrated her shoelace tying skill.  She even does a double-knot.   She was so proud! 

JJ came over to play yesterday.    There is such joy when they play together.  Tatiana got out her new paper plane book.   They made some planes and flew them off the crow's nest of the tree house.  I went out there with my camera, but they switched to "playing mail".   In the Christmas decorations was a little post office box.   They pretend to send each other stuff.

Tonight, Tatiana and I are going to her Cheerleading practice.  I am really looking forward to it.   Last week was the first practice and I wasn't able to go because I was at the dentist's.   Scotland said that they sat around and made cheerleading props.   The girls giggled a lot.  Tatiana really enjoyed it.   She got girlie time without the distraction of an Activity.
