Alaina

Dear Alaina,

I'm not sure where to start so let's start with your senses.  Your mom told me your senses are strangely strong.  Your taste buds are acutely aware.  Your ears could hear a silent dog whistle.  Your nose KNOWS.  And you don't forget anything.  Ever.  ;)

Our conversation as I'm making orange chicken, a risky new recipe:
Alaina:  Something stinks.
Alaina:  What stinks?
Alaina:  It's smelling up the whole house.
Alaina:  I'm breathing through my mouth since I can't breath through my nose.
So you can imagine my surprise when you wanted seconds!  I considered that a victory.


We also went to storytime at the library today.  In 4 miles you asked 4 times, "are we there yet?"  Then you and Olivia set your mats RIGHT next to each other and were buddies the whole time.

 Left to Right: baby snowman with no face, mom snake, baby snake with a hat on, baby under a blanket, extra piece of clay, flat snake with red hair, big snowman, rainbow snowman with big eyes, dog bone.

You also love having your picture taken.

teddy bear picnic...Elmo was almost uninvited for not being an animal.

We're having so much fun with you!

 

Love,

Aunt Jenna
