Good One Ruth

Three stories about Ruth:

Two weeks ago I woke up (in the middle of the night) to hear Ruth crying. She wasn't in her room, so I wandered around the house looking for her. I soon found her climbing up the stairs from the basement. When I sat down on the stairs and asked her what was wrong she looked at me and said, "Watch cartoons!" She and daddy have obviously been watching a lot of cartoons down in the basement and she woke up wanting some more daddy time, it seems. She always asks to watch Pingu, a British claymation show.

Recently, Ruth has not been wanting to stay in her bed once bedtime comes around. We end up putting her back in bed tons of times. Last night, Brad decided to put up the baby gate, so when she opened the door she still wouldn't be able to walk out of her room. Well we were sitting in the kitchen talking and suddenly Ruth shows up. We should have known better since she is such a climber!

This morning she came to me and said, "Car, shopping." She remembered that I told her yesterday that we would go last minute shopping today.

I feel like I can hardly keep up with her these days.
