Scared of a Sneeze?!?

In the last week or so, Stephen has sneezed and Lexi burst out crying. We think it scared her! I can just imagine how she would react if she heard Grandpa (my dad) sneeze (if you have heard my dad sneeze, you will know why)!

And we don’t need to buy her lots of expensive toys, she is happy tearing up the newspaper and playing with plastic sacks (don’t worry, she’s always supervised). These days if she is crying – and not hungry, wet or tired – it’s because she has grown tired of what ever she was playing with and is ready to move on to something new. Sometimes finding the “right” entertainment is a challenge! She loves to stare out the window and see what is happening in the natural world. I am not always sure exactly what has captivated her attention; the trees moving? The flowers? The birds or bugs?

Tonight I had leftovers because Stephen is away. I put them in the microwave to heat up and Lexi perked up. I think she was expecting a bottle to come out – Jane heats up her bottle in the microwave (yes, I know you aren’t supposed to but it works). She looked at the microwave very expectantly when it dinged. In many ways, we can tell she is learning new things.
