Grandmommy and Poppa stopped by on their way to Richmond for dinner with us. While we enjoyed white spaghetti and broccoli salad, Tiny continued her struggles with eating "grown-up" food and ate some cheese cubes and applesauce. She managed to eat two slices of banana (without gagging), which resulted in a reward of a miniature Twix. We continue to try to get her to eat what we eat for dinner, but it's a battle.
After dinner, Tiny and I walked around the block. I found some maple seedlings and introduced her to the joy of throwing them and watching them spin back to the ground like little chopper blades. Back at home, we sat on the driveway and inspected the night sky. She recognizes Venus and knows that all the stars that she sees are actually distant suns.
She spent the last bit of her evening playing with Easter eggs. She enjoys placing candies inside them and amassing a pile of loaded eggs.
