bean noticing the weather?

it's starting to get a bit nicer outside
and bean likes it.
she says "side" and points to the door.
if you don't listen she brings you her coat
and her shoes
and maybe a hat
then she begins pounding on the door.



sometimes she changes her plea to "ride."
don't make the mistake of thinking she will settle for a ride in the car.
that may be outside
but it isn't outside enough.
if you pick her up to try and put her in the car
she screams and wriggles
and demands to be put down.
then she grabs one finger
and you are on your way
for a walk.


speaking of demanding to be put down
she also now wants to walk down and up all stairs
sometimes she'll walk partway up or down
and then say "carry"
but she mostly wants to do it herself
and it's no easy feet
when your legs are so short.

( i know - i'm getting crazy with the videos...but she is so fun in action)
