The A Report

Just a quick update while I have a few minutes. We survived the typhoon fine (just lots of rain) and had clear, cooler weather for a few days after.

Ariel has lost interest in the bottle. She found one and got excited, so I gave it to her. But it took her about 30 minutes to drink it because she kept playing around.

She knows when Jeff calls because when the phone rings she says a special "ouuu" with pursed lips.

Her toilet training so far includes always changing diapers in the bathroom and letting her try the toilet. When we flush the toilet, she says "bye-bye" to the poo-poo, then respectfully bows and tries to kiss the toilet seat.

She has a spontaneous Woody Woodpecker laugh.

One night while reading a "Cat in the Fiddle" book, she had me point out the dog, flowers, dish, spoon, and cat. The cardboard book has a cutout shape of a cat head on every page(to fit the cat's fluffy head) and when we point to "cat hole" over and over again, she laughed hysterically.

She is always drawn to a beer bottle or cold draft beer (not that I drink a lot.) I think she likes the foam and thinks it might be juice.
