Today I let Ainsley finally get down and go. She has been in the best mood I've seen in awhile. I didn't realize how keeping her caged made her so cranky until I let her out. All day Ainsley has been standing and letting go and taking a few steps. The last few days... we've been practicing with her.. going back and forth from person to person or sometimes couch to person. So far she can go 5 steps without falling. Since its been a month I figured it would be okay for her to use her arm. I still cannot wait until the 4th when she gets the x-ray. She is so happy about it all and is so PROUD of herself when she stands or walks. Her face just lights up and she "claps". Ainsley's "clap" is so adorable. She taps her spread fingers together very lightly and soundlessly. Aidan, at her age, actually clapped the standard way. I think I like Ainsley's way better. :-) Something that amazes me is how kids naturally have pride. Somehow it is inborn to us to recognize when we've done something well and to feel proud about it. I would have guessed it would have needed to be taught.

Ainsley is working on her second tooth...'bout time.....

Aidan was very happy to have "DeDe" back to play. She would holler out... "Mommy... DeDe can play with me! DeDe play!" (in happy-high-pitched-little-girl voice)

I finally got the oil changed today. I went to the place up the street. Boy did it need it. I am happy to not see that "Main. Req." light on. Next, I need to get it detailed.

I was feeling like a yuppy again today. (and realized I think yuppy is anyone with money) Everything around here seems to be expensive and frequented only by "well-off" people. I sat around with all these fru fru or professional looking people as young, spoiled teenage boys worked on our cars. They were all Lexuses or other expensive and nice looking things.

I'm going to get a shower now.
