Sunday

July 28th is the last time I posted about Veronica, ahhhh!  That's terrible.  I'll do Seven Things for Sunday as penance and try to do better in the future.


  1. I cut her bangs today.  She's been asking me and asking me to do it and right before we left for church she asked me and we went and got a towel and the scissors and I cut them on the porch. They came out really good, she stayed so still, and I told her that is the secret to good bangs!  
  2. She started preschool on Tuesday and it went just great.  She only went Tuesday and Thursday this week, as it was the Monday/Wednesday kids' turn to go on Friday this week and now this coming week she doesn't have school on Friday because they are all off so they can get ready for the French Market, which is a bummer, but whatever!  She started and she loves it.  Her teacher happened to come in to the restaurant where I work this week and she said how sweet Veronica is.  She is, too.  
  3. She is starting to write really well, she asks to spell EVERYTHING, just like Maria and she makes her letters just fine.  I imagine she'll do lots of stuff earlier than Maria, because she has Maria to set an example.  I am looking forward to that paying off and not just in the bad way.  
  4. The other day she told me, out of nowhere, "if you need energy, go to the JUICE AISLE, Mommy!  The JUICE AISLE!  Then you'll have energy, like one HUNDRED!  In the juice aisle!".  I have no idea what she's talking about but I guess she is maybe watching too much television.  
  5. She is getting a little chubby, I think!  She is still as tiny as ever but she is a great eater and a LAZYBONES, so maybe it's catching up with her a little bit, belly-wise.  I've been taking her and Felicity for walks in the mornings when she doesn't have preschool but she always, ALWAYS wants to go in the double stroller.  LAZYBONES.  I'm glad she's such a good eater, she is by far the most adventurous of all of my kids and I appreciate it.  
  6. Oh, this was sweet: I picked her up at 3:00 on Tuesday and I pick up Maria at 3:15, so we had some time to play on the playground with just me and Felicity.  So I was just chatting with her, and I said, tell me your favorite part of your day at preschool and she said, just BEAMING, "it was when you comed to get me, Mommy!  It was when I saw you!".  Ay yi yi, isn't that something?  She is a killer.  
  7. She is a killer, in the bad way too.  She is lonely, I guess, without Maria, and I thought I'd go insane before she started preschool.  She wanted me to look at every single thing she did, all day long!  I found myself begging, Veronica PLEASE, I have to do some laundry, I have to clean the house, I have some STUFF TO DO!  She is much happier being back in school a little bit and she is going to start back to ballet next Wednesday and we'll be happy with more to do.
