Light reading
I was sitting on the coach trying to read while Annada did her best to get my attention. When barking like a dog and stacking ice cream cone toys on my legs didn’t work, Annada came up with a plan I couldn’t resist. She crawled behind the futon to the “adult” books and pulled down a book on brain chemistry.
Then she pushed it back behind the futon, walked over to me and thrust the 1 1/2 inch hardback in my direction saying, “book?”
When I stopped laughing I asked her if she wanted me to read it to her. “Please,” she said and crawled up into my lap with her serious eyebrows on. So I read about 5 pages on brain SPECT scans. I could tell she was trying really hard to pay attention, but even I was bored! Finally she turned around, gave me a kiss and asked to get “down.”
Then we turned together to the more serious matter of how many plastic ice cream scoops fit in the mailbox.
Annada loves to intercept Daddy when he comes home at the sandbox. What could be better than sunshine, Daddy and sand?
Notice the shoes? Meme brought them with her and successfully turned Annada into a shoe-aholic! The sandals are so cute that even strangers stop and tell Annada she has cute shoes. As a result, Annada now wants to pick out her “shoose” each morning and gets quite upset if I put on the wrong pair. I’m not sure how she selects which pair to wear each day, but she is usually right!
This is a classic Annada pose! I love the way the camera caught her attitude and motion. As Marc nicknamed her, she truly is our “go-baby.”
