Snowshoeing with Baila

Baila and I went snowshoeing in the same place we went snowshoeing in 2009:

Diplomacy

I was reading a book to Baila and we had the following exchange:

Me: Come sit in Tattie’s special lap.

Baila: Everyone has a lap, Tattie.

Me: But I have the best lap.

Baila: No, Mommie has the best lap.

Me: Are you saying that because you love Mommie more than Tattie?

<pause>

Baila: I love you also Tattie.

Practice makes perfect!

 

Baila has mastered quite a few letters in cursive already.  She can write her name, but she still prefers print letters.  Here she is practicing the letter /b/ at school last week:
