Eden turned 2 1/2 on June 12.  She is so grown up these days.   Her speech is very clear and she speaks in long sentences now.  She sings non-stop and loves to go in to the bathroom by herself where she echos to sing.  She has learned how to ride a bike with training wheels and although she hasn’t quite mastered how to pedal all the way around, she can move pretty quickly on it.  She still loves to play with Andy, but has also enjoyed playing with some of the other kids around the compound as well.  She is a good leader and likes to decide what they are going to play.

She is a lot of fun to play games with because she now understands rules and follows them.  Uncle Colin created a tag game that she plays with him here in the house.  She has to run from wall to wall (which is a safe zone) without him catching her.  It’s entertaining for both of them and they play for long periods of time in the evenings.   She also likes to play I Spy and Hide and Go Seek.

She really likes babies these days and takes pretty good care of her doll.  She comments on her little fingers and toes and wraps her up in blankets to carry her around the house.
