A ride to remember

Okay - the stroller. Remember the DOLLY stroller I mentioned Tian received from her Aunt Stacy, the one with the warning label that states"DO NOT use with a real child" ? Ty, I might mention, he can read, had the fabulous idea to push his 25 lb sister in it. She thought it was great idea too, so she managed to squeeze herself into it. Yes, she looked ridiculous. She even allowed him to fasten the belt. ( A thin strap with a tiny piece of velcro). Ty then proceeded to take off at top speed through the kitchen, into the entry, and then the death defying doughnut spin in front of the staircase. I nearly fainted and Tian - well, her reaction was just what you'd expect of a little girl with 3 big brothers- she squealed with delight and begged for more. We slowed things down a bit and changed the course, but "Big Bertha" in the stroller had a great afternoon with her big brother. Other than that, things have been rather quiet. No, we haven't just let have everything she wants - just almost everything. Tian is learning some sign language ( she know the sign for "cookie please" quite well) and we think she is a genius. She is trying to say more words - so I am guessing in the next few months we will be buying ear plugs to stop the chatter.

The other picture is Tian baby sitting - get it? TJ was pushing her stoller around to tease her and she fooled him by sitting on top of her baby.
