Audrey's Hair Ties


Audrey never seizes to amaze Brent and I. She really can make us laugh continually throughout the day and lately with her newest fetish, she has really been putting smiles on our faces. I noticed every time I went to get a hair tie of mine there were missing. Well I would find them all lined up on Audrey's wrists, proudly being displayed and moved from one hand to the next. She would kindly let me borrow one! So I invested in a rainbow pack of 50 of them at the dollar store. What a great investment. Hours of entertainment for all of us, fine motor skill development and not to mention the fashion statement she has made!! The hair ties go everywhere with us, she is very careful to take them off before meals, so she doesn't get them dirty, before baths and of course before bed. However immediately following meals, bath and waking up they are right back on her arms. She has mastered moving them from one to the other and they can be taken off in multiples but may not be put on more than one at a time. Also when she picks one up she can now get it on her wrist with just one hand. Brent and she have also made their own game up with them, which I hear added about another 1 or 2 of entertainment. He shoots them across the room, 1, 3, 5 or 15 (etc) at a time and she quickly and efficiently picks them all up, puts them on her arms and then arms him with more!
Anyhow the other afternoon while waiting for lunch to be ready she was telling us all about her new hair ties. Then she transferred them all to one arm and shouts, "Hair Ties Rock" We of course laughed and reassured her of her craziness, which we tend to adore.

I apologize for not posting since being home but the computer is slower than molasses and takes forever to upload pics then to edit and blah blah blah, hopefully I will have my other CPU back soon and I can blog away. Iknow you have all just missed it terribly, or maybe you haven't. We love you all and miss you. God Bless

How adorable! She is getting so big! I for one had been checking your blog regularly up until about a week ago but you read what was going on there. Thanks for the sweet comments you posted and I'll keep you updated on what's going on. Hey by the way, you owe me a scrap day (and I did go to the crop - it was fun - I'll fill you in on the details next time we talk - hopefully soon). Take care ;)
