This is one of my favorite stages...yes, it does pose plausible threats against your living structure, but it's so wonderful for hours of entertainment. Sadie is washing things like a maniac. I find sinks running for hours on end in several rooms simultaneously! Today she busted out her tea kit and was using her toothbrush to meticulously clean every part of it, pouring and re-pouring from dish to dish. Fantastic! We've decided to remove most clothing to protect from multiple changes...Sadie is depressed about this because she LOVES changing clothes.

So it was time to kidnap Joe...so we headed south to Zion national park and explored the red rock. We climbed and walked and played and had a great time. Are cheeks are rosy and healthy looking.

One of the best things about a good hard day is the delirium that sets in on your brain in the afternoon. Kaden felt the effects and didn't even have time to uncross his legs.

Sadie and Kaden sometimes read to each other. Usually something light :)

Disaster strikes. 1.5 years of growing and we had reached a healthy 2 inches and 6 leaves of this little Jade plant. Thursday I was buzzing around and didn't notice Sadie...demolition demon. We lost 3 good strong leaves--only 1 year of growth and unforeseen consequences. Plants are tough though right? She'll pull through won't she? I had been growing this plant for some time before it had it's first spurt of 2 little thick, glossy leaves. We can only hope for the best, I hope Sadie enjoyed herself!
