1.) Roller derby Saturday night. It was the kick-off event for Pride Week 2015, so we had a short chat about what Pride is beforehand. She drew a sign with the teams on it to help her cheer, she kind of watched some roller derby, and she pored over the program that had all the women's roller derby names and the rules of the game.

3.) Swim lessons started today. She was excited and willing to try everything and seemed to be doing pretty well. Afterwards we had a talk about what adrenaline is and how it works and how it makes you feel.
4.) She's been weirdly obsessed with burying nuts in the backyard and then digging them up again later, like a squirrel. Her first attempt ended in ants because she used shelled nuts. We couldn't find any nuts in their shells at Target today, so she kind of gave up and bought some chocolate covered almonds. (Seems logical to me.)
And as always: playing Legos, watching Curious George and Princess and the Frog, and she played some more Pokemon on Norman's computer. Oh and she drew this great Disney Fairies/Pokemon crossover where there are Pokemon-type fairies and they run an "egg care" where they watch the Pokemon eggs until they hatch. I don't know where that paper got to though.
And also she's been making a concerted effort to be helpful, and today she put away the clean dishes early this morning without anyone asking her to and she helped me cook dinner!
