A Day with Audrie

Who could resist smiling at those bright eyes?

On Monday afternoon, Nate called and was taking bids for anyone who would watch his daughter Audrie for the day Tuesday. He was up to twenty-five cents--and I won with a bid of thirty cents-although, I'd have paid much more! Daddy was going to work on the house, and he remembered he couldn't get much done with Audrie "helping"....so she came to Aunt Shawnna's for the day.

She arrived about 7:30, and was sound asleep when Nate brought her in. It didn't take her long to wake up, and hang out on the couch with Kristin to have some "Clifford" time!

They hung out & played with Ryan, the fisher price barn and the house. She was so funny, once she saw the kitty she helped with the "Meow"--but we were only getting "Ow-Ow-Ow"....too cute! Of course she watched Sesame Street before falling asleep on Ryan's chest while watching. She napped as short time, was up and ready to go again.

Here's the puppy's nose....

Ryan brought out his stuffed animals, and she was having so much fun. She showed us where the puppy's nose was, and she found one of Ryan's small puppies...she latched onto it, and would not let it go the rest of the afternoon...she even napped with it!

See how tightly she's got that puppy??!!

We (yes, we!!) took a nice nap this afternoon....I got 45 minutes, Audrie had two and a half hours! We got her up, got her dressed (it was jammie day at our house today!!), and then went for supper at Nate & Katies....

You even have to hold the puppy while you have your bottle!

Audrie finally did let go of the puppy....who knows Ryan, maybe it will come home again someday. Until then, Ryan was more than happy to let Audrie hang onto it!
