Daisy is sleeping oddly today. She slept half an hour around 9:30am and then went down again at 10:50 for three and a half hours. That's a big much even for her. She then stayed up until 6:30pm and we assumed that was it for the night. Nope. She woke after an hour, Chris got her back to sleep and then she awoke after 20 minutes. Now she's up and we'll see what happens. She's going through a milestone period so that's probably just messing with her.

We had gone to the dollar store the other day so I could buy more bins and they were selling hula hoops. Tabitha has been wanting one forever, we tried to get her one for Christmas and could not find them. As soon as we saw them at the dollar store we picked it up for her. She can actually do it now. A few months ago she was hopeless (she'd had tried them in the store) but I guess knowing how to actually hula has now made her able to hula hoop. We also bought a giant bubble wand and she and I played with it outside yesterday. When the baby woke, I brought her out and sat her on my lap and we watched Tabitha continue to play with it. We had so much fun that I think we need to go pick up a few more in case this one breaks or for when she has friends over so more than one person can play at a time. The bubbles it makes are HUGE! Two great purchases for a buck :)

Tonight I decided to forgo my walk so Tabitha could have a bit of one-on-one time with me. I told her I was tired of cooking for her and it was time she cooked for me. The silly goose thought she was going to learn to cook in the kitchen and was thrilled, lol. What I meant was for her to make me some cookies with her Easy Bake Oven. Something went wrong though. How, I don't know. All we had to do was add 1 tsp. water to the cookie mix. But it was all gooey and more like pudding than cookie dough. It was too late at that point to make any of her other items as they are all more labor intensive, so I said we could just play a game instead. I chose Twister and Chris joined us. Pulled muscles and laughter are always a good evening.
