We were gifted a sandbox from the neighbors, and now we are so glad they gave it to us. Evie is still kind of timid about the "gucky" sand that gets on her hands, but she really likes to dig her feet in. Even when it's cold she's whining for me to take her shoes off so she can put her feet in it. Paci update: I worked today, so Greg was home with Evie. He emailed me in the afternoon and said that Evie had found a leftover paci in her closet (somehow we missed that one), and she ran out of the room really excited holding it in the air yelling, "bobbie! bobbie!" (that's what she calls it). Then when he was in her sight she shoved it in her mouth agressively so he wouldn't take it. And you know the rest of the story...he took it...she cried. Kind of breaks your heart, doesn't it?
