Ariel and Hero got to come over today while Paul went to work out with his Army group, making the attempt to get into some shape other than round before he has to report for classes and duty.
Ariel has become a tree climber. She finds a way up into the tree and then just climbs all over in the branches among the leaves. It is very fun to watch her just disappear among the leaves.
Meanwhile, Hero told me that she was a spider and wanted to be in her spider web. It took me a minute to understand that she was wanting to get into the hammock. And then she didn't want to be swung because she was afraid. But after awhile she became more comfortable. Then she needed a blanket and pillow so that she could sleep. Finally she had to have a little bit of swinging so that she could sing "Rock-A-Bye-Baby" as she rocked back and forth above the ground.
About the time that Hero grew tired of being a spider in her web her dad returned. I was out checking out the garden and pulled up a rather large
red carrot. We took it into the house and washed it off in the kitchen sink and then handed it to Hero to admire how red it was. That kid was not phased by a red carrot at all. She just stuck that thing into her mouth and took a huge bite and then proceeded to eat almost all of that huge tuber. Well, there are more where that one came from.
