Keeping Busy

Courtney has had no problem keeping busy these last few days.  She does not appear to miss her siblings at all.

 

Today she asked me for a cup of water.  I gave one to her.  Then she poured the water from her plastic tumbler that I gave her into a ceramic coffee mug.  She pulled out a painting with water coloring book and pulled out a paintbrush.  I was rather amazed!

 

Notice her painting style.  First she dips the brush.

 



 

 

Next, she sucks the water out of the brush.

Then she proceeds to paint.

 And finally, she shows me the finished product.  Well done Courtney!  This exercise kept her busy for 20 minutes so I was extremely pleased.  We will be ding this again!

Courtney's been helping me bake cookies....

Playing with her people.....

And faithfully drinking her milk like a good girl......errr, using a toothbrush.  Once again, notice her unusual style.

First she drizzles some milk on the table with her finger.  Then she 'mops' it up with her trusty toothbrush.

And finally she slurps the milk out of the toothbrush.  Hey...she has all day. 

 

I've also caught her sucking water out of the water nipples in the chicken barn while she was tagging along with me today.  She unwrapped 6 brand new bars of soap.  She's taken my camera and looked at all the pictures on my memory card.  She downloaded something on my computer.  She shoved crayons in my printer and ate the tires off her brother's tractor. 

 

Anyways, it's been interesting.
