Then I refused to nap on Wednesday afternoon and woke up IMMENSELY crabby on Thursday morning so Mommy and I stayed home yesterday (not only for me, but because Mommy would have felt really bad for the great people leading the nursery). Turns out it was a rough day in the nursery for a bunch of other kids so it was probably best for me to have a "normal" day at home. But today we were back at church with plenty of energy for the closing day.

Mommy thinks that overall I did a nice job of being in the nursery or with Gretchen, but I definitely put up a bit of a fuss when she'd leave :( As you can see from in the above picture, I was pretty tired this afternoon from my adventures this week. Usually I love to swing, but after we finally got home I decided I would rather sleep than play.

So when I was at Gretchen's house on Wednesday, I figured out how to crawl up and down the step leading from their entry to their living room. Once I got the hang of that, I thought our stairs at home would be pretty easy. Yesterday I made it halfway up the stairs and by today I made it all the way up them twice (supervised, of course)! Sometimes I can go down them, too, but up is definitely better right now.

Mommy wanted to share this picture of me and her peas in our garden. In about a week or two she's going to have her hands full, but right now the pea patch looks pretty amazing. The plants are between 3 and 4 feet high and are just covered in blossoms! Mommy likes to go out to the garden and snitch some of the snowpeas although I haven't tasted any yet; last night I got to try some of our own strawberries and some fresh broccoli. Yum!
