The Adventures of Little Luz

So Hector and I had our first real, just the 3 of us outing last night. We have had many outings but his family or my family has always been with us. We went bowling, which she was VERY excited about going to do! The BEST part was that Santa was there when we got there ( an employee just wanting to make kids happy) and he was free!!! Luz RAN in the door, RAN right into his arms, with out him even expecting it, he picked her up and we took her picture. He didn't even have time to know she was there before he realized he was holding this cuddly, loving little girl! She was THE HIT of the night. ALL of the employees fell immediately in love and thought she was the cutest thing on earth. It was a lot of fun to say the least and praying that her 6lb ball made it all the way down the lane was common practice, lol! She actually could not have cared less if it made it all the way down, nor did she care if she hit a pin. Once the fun of throwing the ball was over....that was it. There was nothing else to care about, lol...oh, except the chicken strips waiting over at the table. Apparently they are DELICIOUS!

Today was raining and yucky outside, plus mommy and daddy are OUT OF MONEY so we had to come up with something inside and free. I looked on line and found the Chesapeake Children's Museum. It was about 15 minutes away in Annapolis and it was free as long as we took some canned goods. It was great. They had all kinds of different aquariums of fish, turtles, frogs, snakes, sharks, eel, lizards, chinchillas and a rabbit. They had lots of musical instruments to play and lots of interactive toys. It was a house that someone had turned into this cool, laid back, hippie type place. Everything was used or donated and and it was a very free spirited type place. It took her a while to warm up but once she did she loved it!


Tonight she surprised the HELL out of me. Her new things is that she LOVES to just sit at the computer and pretend she is typing. So she sits and types and types. Tonight she says "mommy, I spelled Luz." So I walk over and sure enough she had typed L-U-Z on the screen. To make sure that it wasn't a fluke, I erased it and asked her to do it again...so she did! She is a genius I tell ya! She had been learning this from a puzzle that PopPop had made for her but I did not know that she could recognize the letters on the keypad. I was soooooooo proud! :)
