july 12. 2007 crafting and signing

Today, Amelia spent the day with Nana & Papa and went to see Ms. Peggy. Nana & Amelia had a wonderful time and Amelia wanted to show me all the wonderful things she learned including the song and motions to "Little Bunny FooFoo." I have had to hear and sing that song a million times and it has only been a day.

When I arrived at Nana & Papa's to pick her up, she and Nana were color in her Care Bear Coloring Book and I just couldn't resist taking some pictures of her and Nana. Later on she decided to tell us about a butterfly that she encountered on our hike last weekend. I have documented that story through the collage below. You can see more of those pictures at the following link:

The Story of the Butterfly, by Amelia

Last weekend we went to Forest Falls, California and Amelia encountered her first real life butterfly. I wish I was running video instead of stills, but I was able to capture the moment. She is verbally telling this story as well as using sign language. Here is the synopsis:

The first photo in this series shows how concerned she was about the butterfly. She was actually very frightened by it. I think she thought that is might sting her like a bee. She even said that the butterfly was no bee and that it was safe.

The second & third photos here are her telling us that when daddy told her that the butterfly was okay she was able to watch it fly and see how pretty it was. I love the wonderment in her eyes in the second photo.

The fourth photo is her contemplating and thinking about what happened next.

The fifth photo is telling us that the butterfly flew away.

The final photo is her telling us that she then went to throw rocks into the creek.

  • Amelia loves her cousin Kasey more than anything and since she has moved away. Amelia really wanted to drink from "Kasey's Cups."

  • I did it! Yeah!
  • Markers!
  • Amelia only wanted to color the hearts in this coloring book. I think she probably colored all of them.
  • Concentration!
  • Coloring Hearts!
  • Nana colors a smiley face!
  • Here is some hair.
  • Amelia draws her own smiley face.
  • I am doing it!
  • Intense Concentration! <br /> <br /> I love the fact that she sticks her tongue out when she is really working at something. Both Todd & I do that when we are thinking really hard.

  • "Nana, she needs some eyelashes."
  • Let's work together! <br /> <br /> This was just an experiment for me. I wanted to see what it would look like when I removed all the color except the markers and her fingernails. What do you think?

    Beautiful, beautiful - photos and text! The story of the butterfly captured on film brought tears to my eyes - the innocense, and the beauty of my little granddaughter - how grateful I am that I get to spend time with her - forever Nana memories!! (Papa too!!!) I wish somehow the butterfly pictorial could be published - both the photos and the text would touch hearts.
