Grammy has reintroduced SJ to the piano. She’s really liking the song “Holy, Holy, Holy.” She even got mommy to dust off the keys for a bit.

I did take another vacation day this week to spend time with Selah June. We planned a play date with Harrison and his mommy. I had never been to the bounce house off of Davis Highway. It seemed much more age appropriate for Selah June. They had a whole toddler zone with all of her favorite kinds of toys.

In particular, she was in love with the Thomas roller coaster. Once she claimed it as her own, she dominated that ride for a good long time. Ultimately another little girl wanted to ride it, and we had to convince her to take turns. She was actually really good about it. And the funniest part was that the other little girls was really loud in her excitement over riding the roller coaster. She squealed with delight, and SJ thought that was awesome! So Selah June squealed and laughed too! It was so infectious to hear these little girls enjoying the stew out of this little ride. I loved it.

Then we found the “peg game.” It was basically a really big Lite Brite, and Selah June discovered the need within herself to put every single one of the pegs in a hole. At one point another little girl ran up and just started grabbing pegs out of the board and throwing them down. I got so mad! And SJ started to completely lose it. My intervention worked, and no blood was shed. But it was really close. On the way home I told Jeremy to buy a Lite Brite.
