Our little Grace just turned one and has started walking! When Linus rode up to her house for her birthday party, she came walking over to meet him and check out his trike. Later on, she fell on the cement porch steps and got a big, ugly bump on her forehead, which reminded me of Linus' big bump at his first birthday party. (He fell into a steel dinosaur sculpture the day before his party.) Linus was proud of his gifts for her. He gave her a monkey book and fabric flower bracelet with a smiley face on it. She came over to our house the other morning while Erin went to the dentist. She had breakfast with us and neither she nor Linus focused very well on eating. They were more interested in playing.
Linus showed her his worm bin. We signed him up for weekly preschool programs at the Botanic Gardens and this week the topic was worms. He got to tear up paper for the worms' bedding, and put in compost and leaves. Right now the red wigglers are residing in his room. That is convenient for feeding them scraps from the kitchen, but I suspect we'll be moving them to the downstairs in the interest of creating space in his room.
Linus' latest thing is to start by asking me "why" and then following that up with, "How do you know?" Aaaaaaah! Sometimes it drives me batty.

Linus is so sweet to Grace. Sounds like he loves her like a sister. What a wonderful opportunity for him to be a "big brother" to such a sweet little girl!
