09/20/2005 Archived Entry: "peas, lightening and thunder"

We did give Daisy peas for dinner last night. She grasped the idea of grabbing them and putting them into her mouth, unlike the bananas, but then she would suck out the insides and proceed to gag on the skins. So peas are a no go. I won't puree them because I did that with Tabitha and they are very hard to get to a smooth consistency. Not worth the effort in my opinion. Especially since they would be made from frozen peas which I don't consider fresh which defeats the purpose of me making her good food. We bought peaches for me to whip up for her next.

Around 3 am last night there was such strong thunder that the entire house shook and woke all of us up. Tabitha hopped into our bed, I fed Daisy to get her back to sleep and then attempted to get comfy in bed. That wasn't happening. The thunder subsided so we sent Tabs back to her own bed and we were finally able to get some sleep. Daisy and I woke at 7 and the lightening was back making the lights flicker. There would be lightening, then more lightening before we heard the thunder from the first lightening. It was really something. How Chris and Tabitha slept through that, I don't know.

It poured off and on for most of the day today. I let Tabs run in the backyard for awhile. She took her umbrella, but would periodically pull it down in order to get drenched. She had great fun and I took a few pictures of Daisy standing at the sliding door and then you can see Tabitha running around in the background. As a result of the rain it's very humid though so we're all sweaty and sticky. It's supposed to rain more tomorrow so I guess we're in for more of the same. I just hope we can make it through the night without a repeat of last night.
