I had decided that yesterday was going to be the back to normal day. It was so busy. We went to Tyler’s therapy appointment. Kenny and I had gone through the same area on Sunday and it was amazing the difference in the flood waters going down.

On Sunday, this was completely underwater. That is a walking trail there and you couldn’t see it at all. Next to the road is not supposed to be water but this is still pretty deep.

Once again we had our favorite lunch. The last time we went to Red Robin, the hostess asked if we wanted a child’s menu. Rebecca made the mistake of saying yes. Tyler was FURIOUS. He sai, “Becca, I am not a child, I am a big boy!” He carries grudges for awhile, don’t let anyone fool you that these kids are always so forgiving. lol He was already mad at her because many days before, she beat him at a Wii game.

What’s funny is, he orders off the child’s menu and if he didn’t, his favorite lunch of pizza would not even be available to him.

I love spending time with Rebecca and we are going to find a time very soon to spend a whole day walking around downtown Olympia. I am amazed at the fun shops there. We went in one yesterday and I had to bring home a new little friend.

Excuse my purse which was laying in my lap. He’s going to be my new travel companion.

Therapy was oh so fun. Tyler got mad because the therapist was pushing him a bit beyond his comfort zone (sorry to tell you this, Tyler,but this is the goal) lol

He did have fun, too.

I’m not so sure Rebecca did.

He always does better when things are modeled to him. Isn’t he funny watching her to make sure she does it right?

Tonight was knit night and it was a lot of fun….so many people came and it’s just a fun, relaxing time. I love seeing all ages of women hanging out together, everyone is working on their own thing and everyone is interested in what others are doing. We had several new people and they all seemed to have a good time.

One of my friends brought the most incredible dolls she is making. I’ve been hearing about them from others and I asked if she’d bring them. All I can say is I was blown away. She is so creative and her knitting is incredible. She knits the most incredible socks and she knits for babies in need.

Well, when I saw these dolls, I was flooded with childhood memories of my desire to have “little people”. I used to look for them everywhere and I’d love to imagine that they lived in my pocket and were there to entertain me when I was feeling like everything around me felt hard. I was intensely shy and they seemed safe to me. It was really such a fun memory and when I shared it with my friend, she asked me to pick one. Oh my gosh. I couldn’t bring myself to do it because they all had so much personality and I didn’t know how to do it. So I asked her to pick for me.

I definitely would have picked her! I know this isn’t the best background for her but it’s late and the only place to get good light is under my light in the kitchen.

Gosh, I am so blessed. Thank you so much, Julie.

I do hope I learn to make them soon, but this one will always be special.
