Grammy treated us to ice cream yesterday and there were tot-sized chairs outside!

Supervised climbing

Counting dramatically

More counting (equally emphatic)

Drip drip

Bracing for bubbles

Returning from a bubble chase

Nonstandard wagoning

Hazel was making a show of licking her nectarine

So I pulled out the videorecorder and learned all kinds of things about her day

Hazel displays her Garfield stickers

Then she coughs (she’s still learning to cover it…)

Greeting Supermom after work

Hazel hears an airplane

She’s learned to shield her eyes from the sun (trying to look at another airplane)

Perhaps the only picture ever taken in our front entryway

On a Sunday with a nasty sniffle we stayed close to home

Rolling balls down the ramp

Ball search and rescue

Photography lessons (Hazel snapped this photo with the pictured remote control!)

And carefully selected reading

One finger

Another hand

And this is what I got when I asked for no hands in her mouth

Sunset stroll

Hazel requests crayons by going to the drawer where the crayons are kept, often with a scrap of paper in hand

Concentrating

Imploring Mommy to help

Small enough to tunnel walk

Balance beam save

There’s some kind of wildlife photographer lurking in the bushes

Reversed

Thinking twice about that slide

Kid watching
