I think she's finally figuring out how things get done around here

It is 5:00 in the morning, when I awake to Reilly saying: "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

"Yes, Reilly?"
"Daddy, I love you."
"Aw, I love you too, sweetpea."

I gave her a little hug, and went back to sleep.

Moments later, it is Reilly again, saying, "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

"Yes, Reilly?"
"Daddy, can you get me a glass of water?"

A big first...

Every day when I empty Reilly's backpack after school, I typically find some of the drawings she did over the course of the day.

Today I pulled out a piece of paper that had one of Reilly's classic family drawings in blue crayon, and then at the bottom, faintly written in pink crayon, was Reilly's name. Written by her.

I rushed into the living room and asked her, "Who wrote this name at the bottom?

She said, "I did."

I said, "How did you know how to do that?"

"I just knowed it and writed it," she said.

I gave her a big kiss and told her how proud I was. Then I took a picture of her drawing, doctored it up a bit so the Internet could see it (the pink crayon wouldn't show up in any photos) and posted it here for you to see.



Note that she ran out of room, so she doubled back and put the "Y" off to the left.

This week's photos

I didn't get many photos of Reilly this week. In fact, I think all of the photos posted below were taken by Shawn and our friend D'Drina.
