August

My Lucy! What a month! 
I am constantly surprised by her memory. She was telling me how she road in the car with me and her papa and we fixed her fingers and then she had to go to the doctor and he made them better. It took me a minute to realize she was talking about her fingers getting stepped on at the ice skating rink back in January. 
She is starting to sight read! Which is crazy, I was listening to her the other night and was really impressed. I guess that goes with the good memory.
One morning while I was getting ready for work she packed up a picnic for us, toys, string cheese and water. It was cute, I had to tell her we needed to wait till after work, and as soon as she came home she grabbed the bags she packed and was standing by the back door ready for our picnic. So we went out side ate our string cheese, drank our water and played with our ponies. 
She got to got to girls camp with me, and was spoiled! All the girls and the bishop played and played with her. At the end if she didn't like the way you played with her ponies she would take them and give them to someone else the played right. It was funny and surprising! She had a blast.
I taught her how to play candyland, and she cheats! She puts the spinner where she wants it, either on a double color or a place to skip ahead! My favorite is when she casually moves her piece ahead. I guess she's a bit competitive...
Went to the zoo. She loves feeding the goats, but shes funny because she doesn't like to feed the pushy ones she looks for the one on the end that can't get in on the action and when another goat comes in and pushes in she wont feed it! Its pretty interesting how determined she is to feed the meek ones. She also loved the butterflies this year. No trying to step on them or anything this year!
