It's hard to believe that September is here already. Fall is Eddie and my favorite time of year, so I'm actually pretty happy that summer is ending. I wish it was fall weather all year round.
Ok, so I have a few things to blog about (I wrote them down so I wouldn't forget)
Vallerie has been talking to her stuffed animals. Mainly her favorite, Bot. Not only does she talk to them, but she makes them talk back. They have their own voices too. Bot's voice for example is low, and her dolls (barbie princesses) have high voices. It is so fun to hear her play like that. Bot is her favorite. He now needs his own food and occasionally his own drink. She won't share her food with him.
It stormed over the weekend (for like 15 minutes) and Vallerie was scared. She didn't want to sleep in her room so Eddie and I put her in our bed and laid with her until she fell asleep. Then we left and went to the living room to hang out. When it was our bed time, I went in to lay down and Vallerie was taking up 3/4 of the bed. She was laying sideways. So, I told Eddie that he would have to sleep on the couch. Vallerie never stops moving. When she's awake she doesn't sit still. She is no different when she sleeps. This kid was all over the place when she was asleep! I finally had to put her back in her own bed just so I could get some actual sleep.
This may seem like a normal thing to most people, but Vallerie has never, and I mean never slept in our bed. Oh, we've wanted her to, but she just never has. So this was a real treat for us. I loved every second of it.
A couple weeks ago I bought Vallerie some rain boots and promised her that the next time it rained she could go out and jump in the puddles. So since it stormed/rained the night before, I took Vallerie out to jump in the puddles. She loved it. We walked up to the gas station and she was jumping in puddles all along the way. By the time we got home she was soaked.
While we were gone a little girl from up the road stopped by with her sister who was almost 4, and wanted to know if Vallerie was home so they could play. (We had met them before when we bought some fundraiser stuff off of the older one) Eddie said that we were out walking to the station. Vallerie and I actually met them as we were walking home (we didn't know they stopped by the house at the time) and the older one said that she thought that Vallerie and her sister could be friends because they were about the same age. She said she was taking her sister to the park. I didn't think anything of it and Vallerie and I went home. Eddie told me that they stopped by, and I felt bad for not getting the hint that they wanted to play with Vallerie. Since Vallerie was wet from puddle jumping, I put her in the tub. Well, the girls stopped back by on their way home from the park. Since Vallerie was taking a bath she couldn't play. We told the girls to come back the next day and Vallerie could play then. They didn't come back. I was a little sad because I want Vallerie to have friends her age, and now we know there is a little girl a few houses down that is her age.
Vallerie is really becoming a little person. It's amazing to watch all the neat things she does. She'll sing at random. Instead of asking for something or talking to us, she'll just randomly sing whatever she wants or is thinking. She almost always sings when she goes to the potty.
Eddie and I got these cloth poster things (from a game) They are the perfect size for a cape. Vallerie will put one on and run around the house. Her superpower is shrinking people. She will make out a growling sound (that's when she's shrinking you) It's so funny.
Last night at dinner we were talking to her and she told us that there was a monster under her bed. After several questions we found out that the monster is a giant spider. He's friendly, he has blue eyes, he wears a shirt, and his name is Shappyshaw. What an imagination this kid has. Wow.
We got the back part of the roof done. It looks really nice. You can't really see it from the street, so it doesn't look mismatched when driving by. We'll need to do the rest some time in the future. Hopefully we'll have the $ soon. It'll probably be within a year or two. Don't want to wait too long on it.
I believe that's all the news I have for now.
