We've Been Busy

It's been a busy week!  While Mom was up in San Francisco playing with her Semester at Sea friends...

Dad and I did some gardening...







I started napping and sleeping in my tent like a real camper...

And I got to hold the leash while we walked Chewy.  I'm such a big girl!  By the way, "Big Girl" is what Tommy now calls me, instead of "Sista".  I'm glad he respects his elders and my authority.

Now that Mom's back, she built us a new fort from a few cardboard boxes, and we got to decorate it.

And, most importantly, climb through it.

After that, we did come drawing with sidewalk chalk outside.  Mom's not quite sure how Tommy got this perfect "X" on the side of his face, but she's pretty sure I had something to do with it.

Who, me?

 After our chalk adventure, Tommy had some dinner, and I read him a story.  That's right, I READ IT!  I am officially a reader now, with only 5 lessons to go in my phonics book.  We went to the library today and got this reading primer, and here I am reading it through for the first time.

I rock!  Mom and Dad are so proud of me.
