Helena was at a playdate for a couple of hours and Liam was with a friend for awhile, so Ada and I were by ourselves. Earlier in the day I had taken Helena and Ada to the bookstore where Helena got a Calvin and Hobbes book and Ada got the Fancy Nancy book that she couldn’t put down the entire time. So I took Ada to a coffee shop where we had hot chocolate and read Fancy Nancy (twice) and then walked around the bike shop next door.

I asked her what she would like to do since the other two were gone. She thought for a moment and then said, “We can make puzzles!”. Since I had to go to the store to get tomato and lettuce for dinner, I went to Target to get her a new puzzle. As luck would have it, they had three Fancy Nancy puzzles, so we picked one up. At home, we did the puzzle as well as the Disney Princesses one. Then while I began making dinner, she did another one.
