Beatrice's favorite toy to play with lately (aside from paper, tufts of Sula's fur, and band-aid wrappers) are these soft trucks/vans from Truman and Hank that she and her dad "brmmmm" all around the carpet. She's gotten much more sophisticated with these lately as she now puts them on their wheels each time, versus on their roofs or sides! She's also added giving high-fives to her repertoire of tricks. Here are some favorite pics from the week, including one in this onesie which offers a garden at her fingertips. It was a wonderful gift from Carly at the gallery here in town. Every afternoon or evening Beatrice and I do a garden walk around the house to see what's blooming, ending, or nearly ready. Right now the peonies and roses are filled with buds, the azaleas and lilies of the valley are in full bloom, the lupines are becoming more and more dramatically beautiful, and the irises and lilies are on their way. She loves to hear me name each and every plant and thinks "hydrangea" is a particularly funny word. Go ahead and say it a few times, see if you don't smile......This child sees beauty and wonder in all simple things. What a gift. And what a gift she is to us.
