Anna has Arrived

Hate Hate

In response to my last post - yes, she's fine. It was a little cut, mostly just red now. No more swollen cheek.

Vivian and her friends at school love to use the word hate when they are in bad moods. Here was Vivian tonight:

Me: Time to go to sleep Vivian
V: I hate sleep
M: Ok, well let's just cuddle
V: I hate cuddling
Me: Ok I'll just leave then
V: No! I hate leaving
Me: Ok, let's cuddle
V: I hate cuddling. I hate everything. I hate chair, I hate rug, I hate books, I hate curtain, I hate pictures, I hate Mickey Mouse ears, I hate doors, I hate walls (if you can't tell, she's looking around the room saying she hates everything she sees) I hate toys. I love your leg
Me: Erm, ok. How about you lay on my leg and go to sleep?
V: I hate sleep. I hate blankets, I hate dolls, I hate animals. I love your face.
Me: Ok, well let's get warm under the blankets
V: I hate blankets

First Major Ouchie

Yesterday Vivian and I were playing adventure, running around and jumping off things. Of course when we were almost finished and Vivian jumped off the lowest thing in five minutes she stumbled and hit her face. We took her to urgent care to make sure she wasn't too badly hurt. The Children's Mercy urgent clinic was a fairly nice set up.

Here she is, watching the TV in the room waiting for the doctor.

They even had toys in the room when she got tired of the tv (but it really wasn't much of a wait at all)

Showing off her Vivian bracelet.

You can kind of see the red mark below her bottom left lip. But look how big her cheek is swollen!

The next day. Still pretty swollen but the actual cut has gone down quite a bit.

This is just because she looks so darn cute!!

Saturday

Playing outside, getting ready for the zoo

I love pictures of her running in this dress

Laying on the ground at the zoo. Pretending to be Anna trapped in her room by Hans. We played Frozen for at least 45 minutes at the zoo today. Thank goodness for our zoo membership!! Since we don't have to pay for the tickets each time I don't mind spending lots of time in random corners playing Frozen with her instead of seeing all the animals every single time.

Elsa's castle

Small snack. My biggest compliant with the zoo is that the smoking areas are right by all the picnic areas so we have to either sit in the grass to eat or smell smoke while eating. Neither is a good option.

Flamingo day

Farmer Girl

Vivian spent about an hour last night and today digging in mud. She says she is planting things and puts sticks in the dirt once she digs it.

Princess

We had a fun weekend at home this weekend. I did not take any photos because Vivian was either a) not dressed or b) having too much fun to stand still. Here are a few from before and after Carthage.

Sick Vivian watching a movie like a lady.

Passed out princess (I was at a stop sign, don't worry.)
