Rebekah has started reading...

Rebekah loves to talk all the time. Her words aren't always English, but SHE knows what she is saying. She enjoys a good book every now and then, too. This is a video of her reading to herself.

Hats and stuff

Recently, Rebekah has taken a liking to putting things on her head. Some things more conventional than others. I still don't know how she gets around with the bowl on her head...it completely covers her eyes, but she's still able to walk around without running into things. She's a cutie.

New Friend?

This last week, Rebekah and I went to the park after story-time to get out the wiggles. There were a lot of kids there playing, but Rebekah, of course, had to go down to the basketball court and try to get her hands on a ball. There was one little boy there, probably about 5, who was dribbling a ball around the court. Rebekah was fascinated and wanted to try it out. She kept following him around as he kept trying to avoid her. His caregiver suggested that he share the ball with Rebekah. His motivation was not to share, but in hopes that sharing would rid him of this little girl following him. After Rebekah gave the ball back, the boy continued dribbling the ball around the court only to find that Rebekah was still following him. In a firm voice he told Rebekah that she couldn't follow him. He then told his caretaker that his teacher said that "no one was supposed to follow him" because "no one should be behind him." His caretaker tried to pacify him stating that "she just wants to follow you around." He couldn't understand why, stating "I keep looking back and she is smiling at me and I'm not even smiling back!"
Poor girl...looks like we're going to have to buy her some more balls.

Our walks to the Pond

Unfortunately, I didn't actually take any pictures of the pond, but Rebekah is a better picture anyway :o). Just thought I'd add some photos of our memories in our current neighborhood before we move from it. It's also nice to see how much Rebekah is growing.
