The big thing today was going ice skating. She asked on Friday if she could take lessons. I told her we should go sometime to see if she liked it enough to sign up for lessons in August. (I take lessons, which is why she talks about taking lessons sometimes.) She had much more stamina and determination than she did the last time I tried to get her to skate over a year ago. We also got her a little PVC pipe walker thingy -- that helped a lot. Her spirits kept up and she kept at it even though she couldn't go very fast. This is seriously a major improvement -- not sure if that's apparent!

She's really into puns lately, and explaining why they're funny. On the way out of the ice rink, there's a sign that says "Have an ice day!" (::groan::) She read it and was like, "Have an ice day! Haha! It's like have a nice day, but it's have an ice day instead!" She did this the other day with something on Jake and the Neverland Pirates, too. Something about a bird's birthday (bird-day)?

What else what else?  I think she did in fact work on the house lizard house outside a little more.

She played Mario Kart with Norman.

She sat with Norman and read through that Batman book from last night again to herself.

She spent some time on her computer on a coding website, which is actually really cool. I found it for her after she asked me one day about making her own website. (I suggested a blog -- turned out she meant from scratch.)

She seems to spend a lot of time sorting her beads? Every now and then she'll make something with them, but mostly she sorts them into categories and sees where certain kinds of beads will fit on other toys she has.

And her favorite hobby at the moment seems to be talking about Disney World every waking moment. This is my fault for letting it slip so far in advance of our trip (months and months) that we will be going there this fall. And then giving her the Disney World vacation planning DVD to watch to her heart's content. Oops. There was also a point today where she decided to be a travel agent. I was supposed to tell her what kind of stuff I like, and she would suggest a vacation. (I lobbed her the easy "I like Disney movies and camping." She was all over that.)
