Had I taken this photo I’d be really proud. I’d also have spent an hour in photoshop getting it just right.

She takes more pictures of people now. This is Ethan

And of random people with cool shirts

Shoes are still fascinating

so are shadows. She took a dozen or so different shadow pictures…

Andy’s shoes are just as fascinating. And she now knows about Macro setting (although we still have to set it)

Ah, the dinosaurs. There is a long story behind that. We went to buy a birthday gift at Toy’s R Us and Leilani discovered Dinosaur eggs. She wanted one so badly. I wanted her to hurry up in the mornings (another long story) so we came up with a star chart. Good behavior earns a star. 9 stars earn a dinosaur egg. It takes 10 minutes to peel all the layers of plastic wrapping, then you put the “egg” in warm water (vinegar works better) and in another 10 minutes there are 25 cents worth of plastic parts in the bowl, and $4.50 worth of calcium-sodium-diphosphate-laurel-sulfate soup that is probably pretty bad for the environment. But Leilani sure loves her first dinosaur, and her behavior has been excellent since we came up with the system.

She drew Dumbo (personally I thought it was the little unnamed elephant boy – son of Colonel Hathi in the Jungle book), then asked me to write it and when I gave her the mixed up but correct letters and verbally spelled it she put the letters on.
