Wouldn't it be cool if we were all like that?

I was thinking today about Rachel. She loves going to the library each week and watching and playing with other kids. She loves any time she gets to play with other kids, really. It's so funny to me how kids can just run up to other kids and play with them without ever having met them before. It doesn't matter if they're older, younger, if they look the same, if they have a different color skin or a different accent - they're just potential playmates. It would be awesome if everybody was that way, wouldn't it?

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Upon arriving in the parking lot last night... "Home Depot!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upon waking up this morning, to Lori. "Dragon fly."
Lori: "Dragon Fly?"
Rachel: "Rachel rode on a dragon fly."
Lori: "Where did Rachel ride on a dragon fly?"
Rachel: "At Home Depot!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upon looking out her window as the car passed it today when out with Lori... "Taco Bell! I want a taco!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She would also later tell Lori "I like Home Depot."

Immobile

Yesterday, while being chased by yours truly, Rachel put her foot down wrong and sprained it. It's very sad, she couldn't put any weight on it yesterday without wincing, crying or just collapsing. Not much better today, she still cries and doesn't want to stand, though the swelling seems to be completely gone. We're hoping by tomorrow that she's able to stand on it again. The first thing she said to me this morning was "I need corn." when I went into her room to say goodbye to her before work. We had used frozen corn last night in a plastic bag as an ice pack.

Happy Birthday, Little One!

And many, many more.
