Everyone,
Today Juice came home early so I decided to spend some quality time with Butterfly after school. I asked her what she wanted to do. She said that she wanted to go to the park with her best friend Vinny. Okay then. Off to get Vinny (who happens to have a birthday today!) and off to the park we go.
While they were at the park, they decided that the playground equipment was a boat. I hear the following conversation:
B: It’s raining! The water is rising!
V: Yeah, it’s flooding! Good thing we have a boat.
B: We should play Noah! You can be Noah, and I’ll be Mrs. Noah. We have to get all the animals onto the boat or they will drown!
V: Noah? What movie is that from?
B: It’s not a movie, it’s a really old story. It happened before we were born.
V: What kind of story is that? Where it rains and the animals drown? Is that true?
B: Yes! God says it’s true. It’s a story with God in it.
V: Oh, one of those stories.
B: Yeah. It’s a good one.
V: Okay.
Yeah, it’s a good one.

Everyone,
Lately Butterfly is into building things. And she builds things elaborately. This is a bird house made out of books. Do you see the bird? Juice and I make them for her in church to keep her occupied. She LOVES them. She does everything with them lately. She even takes them with her to bed (which often results in her screaming in the middle of the night when one falls in the crack between the wall and the bed…)
Her other building love is airplanes with her legos. I am a terrible airplane builder but she loves Juice’s concoctions. Sure sure kid, go with the professional aerospace engineer’s planes. These planes fly around, shoot each other, rescue each other from the shooting airplane, dance, cry, and want their daddy airplane. Lots of fun, I’m telling you. (This is not my favorite game, I mostly listen to her and Juice duke it out. I typically make my plane crash so I don’t have to play anymore.)
She also loves to do mazes which is a-mazing. Haha. (Can you tell I’m in a funky mood? It’s all this cranberry fumes!) She has a coloring book of games and pictures and she latched on to the mazes and will actually do them. As in, take her pencil and draw through the maze without crossing the lines to get to the end. It’s pretty impressive. Then she likes to do the maze over and over and over. Good times. Good times.
