Her hide out

3.5 weeks since the doctor suggest 1 pound a week. Lost so far? 4.5 pounds. I am an overachiever.

In other news... Willa has a tent in her room right now. When my brothers, sister, and I were younger we made tents and forts with afghans stretched over high chair backs and anchored by encyclopedias. More often than not we did not disassemble our creation before mom and dad came home. This meant trouble. Not only does mom like a clean house, those encyclopedias were new and those things aren't cheap (thank you Internet for letting me live in peace knowing I'll never have to lecture Willa about encyclopedias or worrying that a missing "J" would mean an hole in knowledge). So, those kind of tents will be orchestrated in a few years - oh gosh! she'll probably use the laptop instead of an encyclopedia.

Right now, there's a Willa sized tent in her room. It's got an owl's face and wings and feet on it and has some stars too. Inside is the wall covering that my mom made for her (mom, she loves to lie on it and rest her head on the cushioned monkey) and some books and toys. And whatever else a 15 month old drags into her lair. We're pretty sure she likes it:
