tuesday

Immi is taking a toy bath! (No, she is not allowed to do that!)

Immi is tired. I can tell because she has dragged her big cat into the hallway — where she can see me in the kitchen — and lounging on it (if she were sensible, she would just go lay down in her [...]

playing

I found a faery in a milk-crate!

Immi and I built this castle with legos for her little ponies and Hello Kitty. Immi has gotten very good at collaborative process: the architectural design features both Immi’s and my ideas!

store

We’ve been going to the international grocery store that opened recently nearby. We are enjoying all the variety of food and strange veggies and fruits from around the world! Immi loved the Asian-style soy milk, so we are back to get more.

We found immi-size bananas at the store! Now she can have a [...]

blocks

..and just so you know, immi doesn’t just sit in the tub of blocks all day, she also builds things with it. See! — she made this entirely by herself.

Immi Sitting in her New Toy Box Video

Immi’s Grandma got her a new box of toy blocks that are kind of like Legos but a little different.  The Imster has made it a multi-purpose box.

thursday evening

Immi is playing with her little ponies and the Fancy Fashions Boutique (“…where ponies go to try and buy the prettiest fashions in PONYVILLE!”). Immi plays with this for hours everyday these days.

Immi’s grandmom, Immi and I had a dinner date. It was rainy out and Immi was a little cranky (aren’t we all on [...]

cats!

Immi put on a leopard handpuppet and showering Mr. Oskar with hugs and kisses with it!

Immi is taking a nap. And the kitties joined her too. (I’m about to study the booklet for Learner’s Permit, the very same one Allison got for me at DMV in Cville years ago!)

electronic

Immi took over my laptop.

Immi is talking to her dad in Detroit on the phone. Immi got really happy when she heard his voice!

Immi and I were sorting her toys this afternoon. Immi poked around on her non-responsive electronic toy for a bit, and then (correctly!) came to conclusion that it was out of battery. [...]

tuesday

We’ve resumed taking walks this week (we took several week break from walks due to mosquitoes!) and enjoying beautiful weather. Immi suddenly got adventurous and climbed up the play structure!

Immi grabbed this shirt (it’s mine!) while I was putting away laundry and was trying very hard (…and stretching it out of shape!) to put it [...]

monday

I was trying to put the black blanket in the laundry (we used while camping) but Immi didn’t want me to put it away. She spread it on the floor, brought over her pink basket, put on her shoes and her hat. She is playing picnic (she must have had such fun camping!)!

Immi spent the [...]

keys

Immi has a new obsession (…after shoes, wrist cuffs, purses, necklaces…). This time it’s keys. But any set of keys won’t do: it has to have a long chain for attaching it to the belt-loop just like her dad’s. Apparently my set of keys are boring and anyway we don’t want to loose our keys [...]

camping

We are camping in the GW National Forest area. Jordan invited us (and 8 of his other friends!) to stay in his family friend’s hunting lodge located on a spacious grassy flat land surrounded by the forest. We drove down here last night (about 2.5 hour drive) and now enjoying the gorgeous day out.

Immi is [...]

grumpy!

Immiblog is full of happy posts about immi’s outings because she really is happy when we go out. Well, not this evening!
Immi and I went to get some diapers and play for a bit at Toysrus in Fairfax while Todd spent some time with his friend from work who is leaving town permanently tomorrow. First [...]

daybed

I converted the crib last night into a toddler-bed because immi doesn’t really like being stuck in the crib much and, while we haven’t seen her do it, we think that immi can climb out of it if she wanted to (she has very good upper body strength!). These days when she gets tired, she [...]

playing

Immi is playing with the skinny and bendy doll with super long plastic hair. She enjoys putting the little shoes, purse and skirt on and off and on…

Immi is playing with the Hello Kitty Dream House. Now she can arrange dolls and furniture in various rooms with most things standing right-side-up instead of haphazardly stuffing [...]

nap and colors

Immi fell a sleep in the car on the way back from the shopping mall (her dad was getting a hair cut and we tagged along for fun), and slept through getting out of the seat, walking upstairs and all that. This is the first nap in a couple of days — I was starting [...]

foody sunday

Immi woke up feeling GRUMPY!! Nothing made her feel better, not even bracelets, or cards, or a set of Dominos (she found it the other day and she loves them!). Until I filled up her Hello Kitty PEZ! She knows how to dispense candies properly too.

Immi insisted on sitting at the table (probably because her [...]

saturday

Immi just took a bath (she hates bath these days! She won’t even sit in the tub…) and waiting for Auntie Junko to arrive while watching Doraemon with a bowl of snack (cereal and banana).

We are at immi’s grandparents house because it’s her grandmom Karen’s BIG birthday party. Despite having no nap (who wants to [...]

rings and tea party

Immi has been really into rummaging through my jewelry boxes lately. Here she is looking at all the rings in the ring box and trying them on. (She was wearing the blue chunky resin ring on her left hand finger, but it fell off when she was showing it off!)

Immi also enjoys sharpening her color [...]
