in typical thursday fashion, adella and i went to the community center this morning and played with our friends. i was prepared to leave early if she got cranky due to getting up before 6 a.m. today, but she did great! there were lots of new toys in the gym today. adella's favorites? the pop-up fire engine and the radio flyer trike. she had quite a time on that little tricycle, riding it all around the gym - pedaling, steering, and everything! she did much better on that one than the one we have at home. might be time to upgrade... (she was saying, "see you, mommy!") playtime over, adella drifted off to sleep on the way home... today was another beautiful spring-like day! we are trying to get out as much as we can now - mr. weatherman predicts more snowfall this weekend! boo. we went to the playground this afternoon, right after our super wal-mart adventure. we just went in for cough drops (stig and i are both funky - and not in a good way) and socks, but of course it turned into a super-size game of chase and trying on every hat she could find. maddening, but cute. adella's latet impossibly cute activity: raising her fist in the air and yelling, "yeah!" stig is trying to teach her to say, "power to the people!"
