On the 12th day of Tara...
This is the second weekend that Tara has been home and it feels like she has been here forever. She moves (usually runs) from room to room with ease. She seems comfortable among a lot of people---lots of kids at Austin's Little League Opening Day today at the park; grocery stores; Starbucks; and among friends and family.
She wants to do everything herself, from putting on her pants and shirts, socks and shoes to picking out her own clothes and groceries at the stores. She hands me garbage bags when the can is full, she selects her snacks from the pantry and brings them to me only when she is frustrated at being unable to open them.
She squeals this high-pitch tone when she plays with Austin; she screams when she can't have her way; she laughs often when things are going right.

Somehow all the stars fell into just the right alignment! Isn't that wonderful?
hugs and kisses to everyone,

Does that screaming work? I should try it...
Posted by: sally at May 2, 2005 09:05 AMTara is going to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger (if she doesn't already.)It is like she understands that things need to be done. I love to hear how independant she is, trying to do things for herself. I am so proud of Austin. We miss him so much over here. Those cold February days when you were away will always be on my mind. Austin made our house that much warmer. I have a sock of his in the laundry, you can't have it back because it's my souvenir! (you know how I love souvenirs).

Wow, aside from screaming when she doesn't get her way, T. sounds like an ideal baby to have around the house (yes i know she's Two, but all kids are babies). I have been meaning to say, i'm most impressed by all the cute outfits you've gotten her! I'm glad we're getting to see her in them.
Speaking of Tara's stuff, did you know the butterfly symbolizes the psyche freed from cares & worries? Isn't that perfect!! :o)

The new photos of Tara are so precious. It is like the sun is finally shining on her. Look at how happy she is, simply glowing with joy. It is great to watch her blossom with the love and care your family is giving her.
