(Taryn watching TV in the background. Wall-E in the foreground.)

Taryn loves Wall-E and Eva. I got her a little figure/toy. It's the old or dirty Wall-E, so he looks like he's been on Earth cleaning up. He's really detailed. His head moves around. The arms and hands are fully articulated. Her mama made a comment about the hands, and the next day Taryn's telling me to look at the hands, they move! Awesome.

Plans

As everyone knows, it's good to have plans. One of the most forgotten plans is the Velociraptor Escape Plan. Tonight at dinner I asked Taryn if she had one. Without skipping a beat, she goes "Yeah, I do." Plus one for a well prepared child!

I am...

Yesterday, on the ride home from Nana and Grampa's, Taryn counted to just about thirteen in in English then about six in Spanish. Pretty amazing, if you ask me. ;) So I said "Taryn, you're awesome." To which Taryn replied "I am", in a most definitive way.

Over the Rainbow

Taryn and I were driving home on Friday. Part of the trip is over a lake. Off to the left of us, while driving on the bridge, we saw a rainbow. It was really close. So close, we actually saw the "end of the rainbow". It was right there! I pointed it out to Taryn. She saw it. Told me about the colors. Then said "Maybe we could slide down it?"...

I wonder...

A long day...

Taryn went to Aunt Tina's this Thursday and had a blast playing and jumping and bouncing and more playing. On the drive home she was talkative, then... not so much. (Shhhhh.)

So proud!

Taryn isn't potty-trained yet, but she was so proud two weekends ago when she told me she wanted to go pee pee in the potty - and did! (I know, a little late posting this one.)

Taryn Bear!

Taryn came downstairs to show me an outfit she had put on. She walked down the stairs and behold my eyes, what did I see? A little Taryn Bear running around! She looked like and was soft and cuddly as a Care Bear!
