Wow, it seems like it has been so long since we had a family weekend in North Carolina!
Friday began as a Mommy day. Of course I am a Mommy every day, but on Friday I took a break from school and teaching-related work and hung out with Charlotte. I got a small amount of cleaning done (Never enough!). Lately Charlotte has been reading more books! She will bring us a book that she is interested in, and want to flip through the pages and point to pictures with it.
Also that day I was doing something or other, with Charlotte playing in the other room. She came up to me and wanted up on the couch with me. I went to pull her up and realized something was missing... I quickly grabbed my camera to capture the moment, but didn't even take the time to get a good picture, since I was so nervous! What was missing? Her diaper, of course!
When Micah finished work we went out for an indulgence. We took advantage of Angelina's Kitchen's $5 specials and had a lovely meal at the park down in Pittsboro. So fun to watch Charlotte play!
Then we did something even more indulgent. We drove up to MapleView Farm and had ice cream. Yummmmy Maple View!
Saturday was a fun day because we went to the Museum of Life and Science. Oh, Life and Science, how I love thee! This weekend was an event- Heroes, Villains, and Special Effects. We saw a few local video game companies and saw Star Wars characters walking around. There were also some cool make-up displays, but that was a little old for Charlotte to appreciate. We also took in a few of the regular museum things- like the butterflies and animal farm. Charlotte LOVED all the animals!
On Sunday we took it easy. We all went grocery shopping, and Charlotte tried pushing one of the little carts for the first time. She was very interested for a few minutes. :)
We concluded the day with me doing lots of reading for class. Charlotte slept all by herself in a full-size bed last night- what a big girl! Now we need to decide if that is where she should sleep at night.
Now the story comes full circle. What did she do this morning? Took off her diaper and threw it across the room, of course!
