gillian is learning her body parts. she can point out her ear and tap her head if you ask her. tonight, we asked her where her belly was and she pointed right to her chubby belly. john thought that was the greatest thing, so he kept asking her to point out random thing. “gilly, where’s your back? gilly, where’s your tushy?”

i am like a lot of parents. i am constantly amazed how john and gillian can amuse themselves with an empty box. we seem to always have an empty diaper box. this week we actually have two in gillian’s room. two boxes make it a lot easier on mom, or so i would think. nope, they both want to play with the bigger box. john told me that the box could be “an airplane or a bird. or a car.”
