Ruth has had a bit of a hard time getting used to their house and having other people around all day...and learning how to interact with other kids, especially older kids. We've discovered that she is certainly not a wilting flower, if other kids try to tell her "no" or take stuff from her or push her around she pushes right back! She also does this other thing, I think she's trying to be intimidating, she claps her hands and kinda growl/shouts. It was pretty funny the first couple times, but now I just want her to be nice and to get along with others.
We've spent a good amount of time with Brian and Tia and their kids Lydia and Ben while we've been here because they live about a mile from Paula and Asa. That has been great fun, but has also been a lot of the reason Ruth has learned the growl-shout-clap your hands routine.
Luckily she's also learned some other cool tricks from Lydia and Ben. The first being how to make her car go, as seen above. She's also become much more of a climber.
She likes to climb up on their benches and chairs and can even climb onto grandma's couches. The same day she learned to scoot on the car she learned that other things scoot too.
We very much have enjoyed our time with our family here and appreciate their generosity. We're also very anxious to get back to Idaho and get settled into our house. We only have six weeks until our baby boy comes and we only have until the last day of April to get moved out of our apartment...and get it cleaned. I'm obviously feeling anxious about all that because last night I was having all these crazy dreams about cleaning apartments, except all my old roommates where there, not Brad, and I was back in Provo...it's funny how your brain interprets things when you're sleeping.
