Zoo, Sprinkler, "Cookie" and Ow-ee

Again, I am without a cohesive post this week.  Life seems to pass by so quickly that I have difficulty blogging about daily events.  It seems to work best to lump all the week's events into one post each weekend.  Hence, my new approach.....

Lexi petting a goat at the zoo last weekend.  She seemed to like the goat but got very agitated when any other child came over to pet the same goat as she.  It was like she owned the place. 

Auntie Rachel and Uncle Bryan came over for a visit a few days ago.  As always, Lexi showed off like the best of them.  She decided during their visit that she wanted to play in the sprinkler. She in fact demanded it.  So...her daddy set the sprinkler up on the back deck and despite the cool temperature outside she dove right in.

Lexi is now completely IN LOVE with otter pops, but the funny thing is that she calls them "cookies".  No one can figure out why she calls them that or how the association was born.  It's just one of those things.  She points at the freezer and yells "Coooo-keeee" at which time daddy runs (not walks) to the freezer to fetch her one.  Naww, she doesn't have him wrapped around her finger.  :-)   But look at how happy she is when she gets one.

Lexi got her first knee scrapes a few days ago.  She was wearing her cute pink clogs down the path by our house and fell a total of three times.  The clogs are adorable but she's not all that stable in them.  Another example of fashion over function.  Anyhow, Lexi has spent the past two days pointing at her knees and saying "ow-ee".  She seems more fascinated by the scrapes than she does bothered by the discomfort.
