We went to Indy last weekend and had a fine time. Charlotte has developed a real attachment to Mimi. On the way home she slept most of the way. When she woke up about 45 miles from our house she started calling out, "Mimi! Mimi!" I know she can't wait until we visit again!

While we were in Indy we went to Toys R Us. I had some free $3 coupons that would expire, and the girls like to go and play. I used to be able to find things they really liked, but already they are getting beyond me. Of course, part of it is they like the bells and whistles initially, so it's hard to distract them. On the other hand, one thing that never fails is rubber balls. For all the other toys, charlotte wanted to play with rubber balls. Anytime we go to a store they want to play with or at least hold a rubber ball. Such cheep entertainment!

We did get Sammy a baseball mitt and I practiced catching with her. She can be good at it, but she hates it when someone tells her how to do something if she isn't doing it right. She can be very stubborn! We have to walk a fine line between getting her to accept help and getting her so mad she'll refuse to play. I was pretty successful yesterday, but I was also working on dinner at the same time, so we only played catch for a few minutes. Then Charlie Dot came home with Peter and she wanted to play. But she doesn't have a glove. Sigh.
