NC and the last few days.

The trip to NC was fantastic. We had a great time doing a variety of girlie things like a spa day with a facial and massage, beautiful hikes, nice meals, wedding dress shopping, Farington Farms to see the little goats and cows, high tea at the Carolina Inn, shopping at a variety of outdoor malls, Chapel Hill etc and a major adventure to find ice cream from the Chapel Hill Creamery on a beautiful porch with rows of rocking chairs overlooking fields. It was wonderful to see R and get some time together. We are going to meet again in DC so she can meet K goose and we will be out in June for the wedding.

The last few days with K have been very nice. She had a great meal a couple days ago when we ate dinner with both grandmas and she ate two eggs and half an ear of corn complete with cashews. After each bite she clapped and threw her hands in the air squealing and expected the same from everyone. If we didn't clap she looked at us until the applause started. It was hilarious.

She is still getting up at night every few nights. Let's hope that goes away soon... She has also started to love back rubs and lays down and says back and waits for her back to be rubbed. Very funny...

Anna (the new doll) is quite a hit and has been sleeping with K every night. When K got up last night after spending some time with her I told her that Anna was going to help her sleep and she needed to get back to bed with her. Luckily it worked.

I took her to Kepplers and Borrone and she loved the scone and eggs and wandering around the water. She was quite the big girl. The bookstore was a huge hit where we found a book about a lamb who fell in the muck. She talked about the muck the whole way home. She is very picky about dirt, if her shirt gets wet she wants it off and she loves to put things in their place. She got her socks out yesterday and accidently put them in the wrong drawer. She had to take them out find the right drawer and put them back . She likes things put away just right. It is great to watch her arrange a blanket, it takes a lot of adjusting to get it just so.
