Computer. She asked for it specifically so she could "see which animal starts with 'j'" (she knew that this game would tell her [caution: if you click on the link, it will start talking]). Then she played some other animal games.

Baby Henry. She was fairly pleasant and helpful today. We watched The Price Is Right, played with Duplos, played outside (and they talked to the neighbor-type kids through the fence), then watched the first few minutes of The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.

Then when Henry left, Lucy was overcome with feels of some sort and insisted we turn off the movie.

Then we turned on Curious George instead. That monkey is really starting to grow on me.

We took a walk down the street to watch the guys work on the house they're building. It's in the framing stage at the moment.  I kinda want to go down there every day to see how it's going.  Even if Lucy doesn't want to go with me!

More Duplos. She built a restaurant, completely with food and patrons.

Played candy counter (something she saw on Curious George).

We used her Learning Resources clock (thanks, Grandma Katie!) to talk about times and minutes and hours and AM and PM.

I read her Knuffle Bunny Too.

Norman continued to tell her the story of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (without the book).  This has been going on at bedtime in installments for about the last week or more.  She is very into it.  It seems she is experiencing the story on a more intense and cathartic level than anything she's ever seen on any screen.  Which is interesting.
