I picked up SJ at St. Luke’s just after 1:30. They were playing outside, and she was about worn out.  She made sure to say “bye” to Miss Ceara and all the kids, and we went inside to get her bag.  Right next to her bag was another little girl’s bag with a folded pink blanket on top.  “Thats’s Emma’s blanky,” she very clearly said to me.

Not to be confused with Selah June’s blanket.  Apparently, this has been a clear territorial division between Selah June and Emma.  We have worked on mine and yours in our first few weeks at St. Luke’s. We might not quite think clearly about the reciprocal nature of “share,” but we do clearly understand ownership…at least when it comes to blankets.

She wanted milk, and that could not be secured until we got home, but she was out cold within the first two minutes of our drive.

She slept hard for 3 solid hours. She woke up just before Daddy came home with sandwiches. She was so funny at dinner, wanting to play with all of my “money” – which ended up being bills.  She thought the faces and “a,b,c’s” were interesting and got a kick out of telling us that it was not Mommy’s money.  “Noooooo….. It’s Selah Juney’s money.”  And then she started saying it was Aaron’s money and that Andrew Jackson looked like Mommy….  ?

After dinner we we went on a walk.  Of course we had to stop at Miss Cindy’s house where the rocks are.  That’s our favorite thing about walks.

Then Miss Cindy drove up!!!!

You can see that we spent a while there.

We met a new family on the final loop back to our house. They moved in just a few days after we did. They have two kids just a few years older than SJ. We hit it off pretty well, and it’s good to know yet another set of people in the neighborhood.  We live on a pretty good street.

We stopped to see Buddy the Cat. Selah June and Mommy walked up the driveway and talked to Buddy, but the the puppies inside started barking, and SJ decided it was scary.  But she also told Buddy to “go inside the house!” It was definitely a moment.
