What else has she been up to? Well, the usual stuff, I suppose. She plays lots of make believe. Lots of princess. Lots of pirate. Lots of princesses who are also pirates (my personal favorite). Lots of dress up. Lots of bike riding. Lots of watering plants in the backyard. Above all else, lots and lots and lots of talking to herself in a cockney accent.
She's also big into making art just now. We've been making books. She dictates the story to me and I write it out, staple the book, and let her decorate.
All of this dovetails nicely with the school I've enrolled her in for the fall, which is an arts preschool. She'll be doing visual and performing arts and I'm really excited to see what sorts of things she gets to do and what she thinks about them.
In the meantime, Allison and I made cookies this afternoon as a belated father's day present for Joe. We were traveling up until Saturday night, so there really wasn't time to do anything. We'll celebrate tonight when he gets home from his Greek reading group.
She likes to cook and bake, so she was pretty wound up. She wanted some pictures of herself dancing....
....and clapping.....
....and being sweet.
Then, of course, she ate cookies.
She picked out a tie for Joe. I've declared this a new tradition! A tie for Joe! On Father's Day! It's such a cliche I love it.
Unfortunately for Joe, I really did let Allison pick it and she's in a bit of a pink phase. After considered three or four other pink ties, she settled on this one:
