An Afternoon with the New Table and Chairs

Kevin's dad is wonderfully talented when it comes to woodworking and building things. We've been lucky to get all kinds of fun stuff from him. The latest and greatest is a little table and chairs set. Actually, we've had the table for awhile and the chairs recently showed up at our house unexpectedly. It was quite the fun surprise! They're cuter than I had imagined. I really wish they were just a tad bit bigger so I could sit down and enjoy them. But unless I suddenly become waifishly thin and shrink a few feet, I guess I'll just have to enjoy the sight of Sadie enjoying them herself. Darn.

And see how well it fits in with the rest of her room? The changing table back there was made by grandpa too.

I got kind of bored watching her color, so I decided to play with her hair while she was sitting so quietly. And guess what I discovered? Sadie has reached that oh-so-important milestone in every girl's life. A ponytail! When I went to wrap the elastic around it, I was shocked at how thick it was. Who knew my cue-ball bald baby would grow up to have thick, curly hair?

The three little ponytails on top is the only way I could do a big ponytail with out the top part falling out. Fancy, eh?

Look at those pretty baby blues!

One last thing to mention. I'm beginning to think my daughter has a mild case of OCD. Lately, she is obsessed with making piles. She piles her toys somewhere, organizes them according to some unknown system in her mind, and then picks them all up and transports them somewhere else and makes a different pile.

In this picture, she was stacking a bunch of random stuff (books, crayons, her doll) on her new chair. Then she would knock it off and start all over again. Hmm...
