Adventures of Eden the Determined
She awoke earlier than normal feeling that something was missing. Not knowing how to find it in the early morning dark, she let out a cry. Then another, only louder. The tall scratchy-faced one came through her door, retrieving the lost item. Ah, that it's--my pacifier.
As the scratchy-faced one left, she heard a cry from the brother. Well, if he's getting up, then I want up too!
This time the milk provider came. Eden was retrieved from her slumber fortress and transported to the sofa. A nice breakfast and a journey to the foreign "backyard" land were all she could take. A rest is what she needs, but not before a visit to the porcelain throne room.
"I am big enough," she thought to herself. "I do not need the milk provider to pluck me from this throne. I shall leap to floor." She lurched forward, but alas, she swan dived into the floor. Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.Thankfully, the milk provider is also very comforting in these moments.
After a peaceful rest, she again awoke to the noises of the brother. Again it was time to venture outside where it was warm and sunny. She assisted the milk provider in the application of water to grassy areas, careful to avoid getting wet. It was all for naught, though. The brother eventually found ways of hosing her down.
"Never fear," she thought. "A quick cry to the milk provider, and I shall be dry again."
After receiving her dry clothes, Eden realized her belly was once again rumbling. This time the milk provider was well aware and preparing for lunch.
The brother, now also extremely wet, distracts the milk provider long enough for Eden to reach great lengths and hoist the pureed veggies from their resting spot.
"I am big enough. I can feed myself," she thought.

After this, Eden played in shaving foam (cheap entertainment, folks), had a bath, and is now resisting nap time. Ahhhhh, what a day!

It Was A 3 Bath Day
Bath #1
10:30 a.m. Got Eden out of bed to dash off to Owen's speech therapy appointment, only to discover she had a full-out diaper explosion.
Bath#2
6:15 p.m. After playing in the garden/compost pile, and eating "dirt," Eden was covered in mud head to toe. (pictures to come)
Bath#3
7:00 p.m. We had spaghetti for dinner. 'Nuff said.

Overheard at the Cramer house
Owen to Eden: "You're drivin' me crazy!"
Eden: "Hi-eee!"
Owen: "Silwee, silwee, silwee." (said while patting Eden's head)
Eden: "Ha-iiii-eee!"
Owen: "Oh no! Holy, moly!" (said when we came to a red light while rushing to sports class)
Eden: "Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!" (said as soon as daddy opens the door)
Owen: "Hubba, hubba." (said after his mom whistled at him)
Eden: "Blither, blabur, HI" (said morning, noon, and night)
Added a few minutes later: Eden also now says "pah-wease" as she signs please. She also learned to pick her nose (her brother confessed to teaching her--with much pride, I must say). She thinks it's downright HILARIOUS!
