Two hours of playtime at the park, then a 20-minute stroller ride

My next thought was, "Oh boy.  How do I explain that one?  We're teaching her not to hurt people, and yet David was a hero in the Bible because he killed Goliath with a rock."

I decided I wasn't ready to delve into sticky theology, so I just repeated again that we shouldn't hurt people.  I had no idea that Julia would be picking up bad habits from reading Bible stories!

She woke up at 4:45, and we got out of bed around 5:30.  We spent about 1 1/2 hours reading.  I had to get myself a big glass of water, because my throat was getting sore from all that reading!

We were out of the house for about 3 1/2 hours in the afternoon, but the rest of the day we were at home.  Instead of playing, Julia wanted to spend most of the day reading. So we reread 9 of the books above, and then we pulled 14 more off the shelf.  So that's a total of about 44 books read for the day!  Wowzer!  A few were short board books, but others were longer.  We have a pretty good-sized stock of children's books at home, but she's going through them fast.

While I was preparing the slideshow, I was thinking through the last two years with Julia, and I ended up looking at some old posts.  Here's the "weeks" slideshow from her first year of life.

 


And here's a video from her first birthday party.
