What Have We Been Up To?

Guildy's First Haircut

The blue Listerine we used to kill off the head lice we had a few weeks back turned the blond ends of Guildy's hair a lovely tint of blue. So, after 3 years of growing her long mane, we had to trim about 4" off the bottom. She actually enjoyed the whole process. I guess the moral of the story is to use a neutral shade of Listerine when nuking your head lice:o) The Tunnel

We have a little pop-up toy tunnel that the neighbor kids outgrew and gave to Guildy and Hadley. They think it's the funnest thing ever. And Hadley thinks her big sister is the greatest. They snuggle and wrestle and giggle and have lots of fun. And Guildy is very patient with Hadley's hair pulling and occasional skin nibble. Climbing

Hadley seems to view her world in terms of how she plans to climb each new thing. I caught her the other day scaling the little rocking chair on her way up the high chair. She was well in control of the situation and got herself back down without incident.
Hiking

We hiked up south Cottonwood a few days ago and enjoyed the late summer flowers and berries and coolness.

Helping

Guildy is always game to "help," and feeding Hadley is one of her favorite ways to lend a hand. She actually does a really good job, and they both find it immensely entertaining. Guildy even makes the appropriate faces and says, "yummmm" after every bite.
