I was writing an e mail to Marlyn today and thought I would share part of it with everyone since I was talking about Reina and the horses. so here it is, starting with Reina:
I love how she is so feminine, she likes to put on lotion and perfume and brush and style her hair. She is her own person and really great to be around. We put lotion on together, she rubs some on my legs and then some on hers.
I swear she grew into a new stage in a day yesterday. She sat at the table and ate her food all by herself with a spoon even, it's the first time we've ever had dinner as a family, (where we were all eating together at the same time). She says yes and no in answer to questions, like she always says she's not tired when asked if she needs a nap, it's funny! She dances when she hears music she likes, she says a lot of words, in both languages. She sleeps through the night sometimes (without needing milk I mean). She walks long distances on her own and she can go down small steps on her own without using her hands now. She shovels dirt with her mini shovel and successfully puts it into pots for planting. She takes handfuls of seeds and pushes them into the ground with a finger. She has lots of teeth, all her first molars, she loves almonds and yesterday I discovered she loves corn. She runs into the kitchen every ten minutes yelling "AAHM" which is her word for almond, she takes two at a time and it takes about ten minutes for her to either finish them or lose them.
Yesterday she was going without a diaper to get some fresh air and she told me "pee pee" BEFORE she went pee! We didn't get to the bathroom in time to get any in the toilet, but I was excited that now she is recognizing what she's doing before it happens. Oh the things that new mothers find joy in!!! She reminds me of Brett in some ways, I think she could be a stand-up comedian, she has me rolling with laughter sometimes, and she is such an athlete! She's a climber, she has great balance and coordination. I took her for a ride on Rocky today, she loved it, and she sat on Jack by herself for a few minutes, I kept a hand on her of course. Today was a super fun day for me, I had the babysitter and didn't have to work, so I took the day to spend with the horses. I rode Jack and led Rocky over to a friends' house that has a horse and socialized a bit and swapped horses, then I rode back to the house on the road, cooked breakfast for everyone and then I took the horses super grazing and rode Rocky. He is quite a horse, I can't believe he's the same horse I bought for Hailey, he was perfect at the time I bought him (for a little girl), but now he is strong and healthy and powerful and full of energy, he loves to run and it takes some strength to slow him down from a serious canter, a little girl could not stop him anymore. So when Hailey comes to visit we'll have to have another horse around. He's the best horse I've ever had, better than Jack even, just because Rocky doesn't spook at things and he doesn't panic. They're both good though.
Shawn gave me the green light today to buy a goat, I'm getting a good deal, $50.00 for a pregnant female that is about a year old. I want her for milk, we're going to go get ther tomorrow from a guy that runs his house with solar energy only. He;s going to give a tour of his house and another project of his that he is powering with a hydro turbine system, it should be interesting.
