Days 3, 4, and 5

Still a lot of technical blips trying to post. My friend in the states has been posting for me but is now encountering additional blocks. Soooo … I am going to try using blogger’s email-to-post function. Here we go….

 

Day 3: Tupie has decided she wants to walk. In fact, she actually can walk great distances (though slow and tipsy). On Day 4, she decided she wanted to feed herself (and feasted on pumpkin/spinach baby food and baby pureed prunes). Most ended up on her face and body. Day 5: Though gentle and quiet (we think), she loves to knock things off surfaces and generally wreak havoc by moving and tossing everything around. She’s also still grieving as of this time (spoiler alert: as of day 6, she woke up smiling and by day’s end, was actually laughing). Willow has also become a wee-bit jealous and it culminated in a 30-minute hysteria-meltdown when judiciously brought (i.e., carried kicking and screaming) into a closed room with Mommy (who decided it was time for a little tough love). After which the 3-year-old rose blossom smoothed off most of her thorns and opened her petals).
