About Me

I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico with my husband, daughter and two dogs (and whichever mice are currently living under the house). I like to spend time with my daughter, knit, bike, run, and tear my house apart, but not all at once.

Actions

Ginnie and I went to the dentist today. She loves going to the dentist (and announced that in the dentist's office too). She so comfortable with it that we do our appointments at the same time, in different exam rooms, and whoever is done first just comes and joins the other until they're finished. The dentist gives me his report on her when he sees me, and then we're done. There are some things with this kid that are far easier than I had imagined they'd be.

We also went swimming again today, and Ginnie is now doing what my sister and I were doing at about her age - diving to the bottom of the pool and retrieving objects. Boy, I remember loving to do that (goggles are SO COOL). Only we used pennies, and not these new-fangled brightly colored rings they have nowadays. ha.

Seems like we're cramming everything we can into summer, and it only just started. Camping already, swimming three times a week at least, already saw a baseball game in ABQ, getting house projects done...only the big one (the deck) we'll be forced to focus on if we want to get it done soon. Walking the dogs in the late afternoon has been nice. We got Dingo a new halter that works so well at keeping him from pulling that Ginnie can walk him by herself. That is really nice, because walking Jada and Dingo together turns into a tugfest. Having Ginnie be old enough to do some of these things is SO NICE.
