Messed around with the Miis again. This pretty much always results in my spelling things for her so she can change their names. Then she figured out that you can send little messages within the Wii system (somehow?), and she had me spell "I love you" for her. Then she wrote another note that said "I love you too", and she only asked for help with the 'v' and the 'too'.
Watched VeggieTales.
Played that Phineas and Ferb game.
We went to the grocery stores. In the car on the way home she asked how the people who write Bibles come up with the stories to put in them. Good question! And also it sounded like she thought "Bible" was like... a genre of literature, or something? So we talked about what translation means, and how Jewish people and Christians wrote things down a long time ago, and how some people go to school to learn how to read the stories in the original language and then they tell other people what they've found out. Then she asked, "But how did the first teachers know the things to teach?" Whoa. So I started with Jesus and how since Christians believe he's God, that means he knows things only God would know and he taught them to people while he was here and people wrote down what he said, and that's some of the Bible. And how other people an even longer time ago wrote down things that other people who talked to God, like Moses, taught people. So that means that Jewish people and Christians have all been reading the same stories over and over again for a really long time, trying to figure out what they mean and what God wants us to do. (So possibly she's even more confused now than when she asked? Yeah, religion is like that...)
I think I glimpsed her reading a comic book before lunch.
Watched Word Girl.
Read the Super Mario Galaxy manual for a while. It mentioned the Wii manual, so she wanted to know if we had one (presumably so she could read it, too, but I don't think we have it).
Read books about service dogs and guide dogs out loud to Norman.
Played outside. Some of this was spent trying to use her new hula hoop.
I read her the service dog book before bed.
