January

Funny things Jill has said this week: "Dad, tell me how to buy a house!" "Why, Jill? It's bedtime!" "But I don't know how, Dad, tell me!" "I'll tell you when you're a grown up and you're ready to buy a house, ok?" Sigh. "Ok." (Then the next morning she asked me and I had to explain it all.)

Last night Steve was telling Jill a made up tale about his 5 other daughters who are also named Jill. She said, "Oh, Dad, all the Jills is having a baby and anodder baby, and anodder baby...it's an ARMY OF JILLS!" Then Steve asked how many Jills there were all together if there were 5 others and she said, "Five, six. That's easy Dad." "How did you figure that out?" "I just did MATH!"

This month included lots of school, which is going amazingly well, trips to the zoo and science center, a play, and her nature class which she LOVES. We're having so much fun!
