Mixed-Up Day

A day of unexpected schedule changes turned out pretty well for Geneveieve. Grammy's card game changed to just lunch when their fourth did not show. So, rather than go on our next errand, we visited the Doepke's -which always means door prizes for Gigi. Today she was so excited I thought she might burst into a million pieces.

Olivia gave her a pink tutu! She also got her hair styled into a bun, just like a real ballerina. She also got an orange flower power to match the pink one she was given last week. What a lucky girl!

Our next "miss" of the day came with the produce co-op pick-up @ Grailville which was already picked-up. Ugh. But on our trip down Hamilton Avenue, Daddy remembered to pick up Gigi's art creation (a butterfly garden ornament) made July 4th in Northside from Happen Inc. He discovered that the studio was open for kids (and grown-ups too it seems) to use the pottery wheel. Genevieve did a great job making her cup! She followed instructions and took it all very, very seriously. (We will post a pic next week when we pick it up).

She had a ball at Church. She was so excited to tell us that snack was dirt with a worm. "I ATE DIRT... WITH A WORM IN IT!" She cheered for Kid City and ran around.

At dinner time, she announced that she was an "avocado and kidney bean machine." I asked what that meant, and received a demonstration. The handle of her fork has a hole, which she placed her lips around, and put, guess what - avocado and kidney beans - through the hole.
