What She's Up To: Riley

• Gymnastics.  She loves gymnastics, but we're going to take the summer off to explore some other activities.  Last Saturday she was lucky enough to be the only one in class and loved the extra trampoline (her favorite activity) time.

• Playing with water.  She loves filling up everybody's water cups, moving water from one cup to the other, giving Sam his water, playing in the water table, watering the plants, feeding us grass soup.

• Bossing Loving her sister.  She loves giving Harper food, getting in her crib, giving and taking her toys away, and "watching" her. She is proud to share when she doesn't something new.

• Tying ropes/strings into knots and onto anything.  She's tied the fireplace doors together, the hooks on the fire place, strings to toys, strings to tables, tied herself up.  It could actually occupy her time for a good hour.  I foresee a Girl Scout on our hands.  She mostly uses shoe strings and jump ropes.
• Practicing her casting and reeling with her Barbie fishing poll.  She's so excited to go fishing at Great Grandpa Melvin's farm!
• Spinning around and around and around!
• Scooby Doo, Strawberry Shortcake, Tom and Jerry, Lion King.
• Making up songs.  I have to say, she's pretty good at this.
• Writing, especially with pens.
