Candyland!!!

We were up early today with time to take showers, eat a good breakfast and go to church. It is getting cooler and the day has a rather damp before rain smell. Julia made it though about half the service before we went into the kid room. Even there she was pretty quiet and could have been quiet through the sermon, but she likes the quiet kid room and until she gets into RE, we are going to use it for half the service.

Afterwards, we came home and decided to have a quiet rest of the morning. I asked Julia what she wanted to do and suggested that we put a puzzle together. She declined that idea and asked to play Candyland. SHE ASKED! A new first! She and I played, with David looking on and helping her stay on task (she did still need that kind of help). We used two pieces and raced eachother to the end. It was a short game -- Julia pulled a card that put her way ahead -- but no matter. We played an entire game; Julia won; and we gave eachother high fives all around.
