Lailah goes Orienteering

White course with Lailah – we covered over two miles with some detours to walk on the boardwalk and look at the marsh. Lailah ran lots and said that she was having fun. Cookies from Amy helped. She only asked to be picked up once, and that was near the end when we were walking across a field where the grass was a little high. I picked her up for a couple of feet but then encouraged to finish on her own, and she did.

I picked up the camera on the way back before doing the last three controls. Wish I had had it sooner.

Proud and tickled.

Lailah didn’t like the tree branches that she had to reach through for this one.

I told Lailah we were looking for 15o. She said that o wasn’t a number, and asked if it was really 0. Made me laugh.

Lailah checking the codes – this one wasn’t ours.

A Lailah Day

Lailah was a little under the weather, so she didn’t want to swim or go to story time, but she did help get the recycling and trash out, the clothes folded (my underwear are now neatly rolled), and the bed made, among other things. She finally agreed to leave the house to have lunch with Roger, where I discovered that I was a failure at ordering at chipotle. Regardless, a very good day, one for the memory book, even if I end up getting sick. 🙂

Story time with Lailah

Story time, by Miss Megan, was wonderful, with three books on accepting being different – Gaston, Spoon, and I Wish I had Freckles Like Abby and songs. Maybe a little deep for 25 months plus, but the many songs kept the younger kids engaged, and Lailah was attentive throughout. I liked Spoon the best.

Lailah’s new bike

It is pink!! It was supposed to be purple, but they didn’t have one in stock.
So, pink it is!

Lailah is very pleased with her pink bike, even if she insisted that she wanted purple. The power of instant gratification.

Many trips around the block, some in the rain,some I biked, some I walked. Lailah is a natural, and has the braking down already.
