Lucy's 5th birthday is in three days! The weather has been gorgeous here for the last couple weeks, so she has been spending hours on end in the backyard. She makes fake food with water, dirt, and leaves; she contrives plans to trap and/or befriend bugs, birds, and lizards; she digs holes; she rides her bikes; and she just generally runs around doing goodness knows what.
Today we went to the library and picked up the latest Disney Fairies movie, The Pirate Fairy. (Actually not to bad, as far as Disney Fairies movies go.) She watched it, loved it, and then apparently (when I wasn't looking), built this contraption similar to the one the fairy uses in the movie to make different kinds of pixie dust. That's a water wheel with tape, glue, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, and leaves.
She also wanted to get on her computer after she watched the movie to look up more stuff about it. When she's using the computer, she'll consistently ask me, "What's the next letter in [whatever word she's going to search]," because she knows the first letter for pretty much anything she wants to spell. Cool.
And she made me this thank you card to thank me for... helping her catch house lizards? Not quite sure [but that's definitely a house lizard and a trap].
I read her a Tangled book that she got in the mail today for her birthday, but she had already read it to herself immediately upon opening the package!
[Note the unopened bubble wrap thing and the card that had to wait]
