Tuesday is usually our day out. We go to the quilt shop and sew with the applique group. The first week, Susan went in the stroller and wouldn't get out. The next time we left it in the car and took some toys. She met one of my friends whose name is also Susan and took right to her. Susan spent some time learning a new song (This Little Light) and watching Susan B. sewing.


There are some magnetic shapes in bright colors on the front door. Susan likes to rearrange them. She also loves to feel the "Minkees" (a soft fabric) and the bears made of it. Every week we walk around and look at the designs on the bolts; there are animals and shapes, letters and colors to see. Maybe I'll make a quilter out of her.

Susan's favorite TV show is Dora the Explorer. Dora wears a back-pack with Dora's things to help in her adventures. I made Susan one with some blue Minkee scraps and some alphabet fabric. She has a map pocket and a star pocket and can carry a few toys.

Yesterday we had lunch at Frank's Bakery. Susan didn't care much for the quiche, but she liked the bread and salad. She had a pink meringue bird for dessert. We had a few errands to run and came home for a nap.
