Brin is trying to catch butterflies. She walks around with a little butterfly net, coaxing them with, “Flutter! Flutter!”

Today Brinley decided to give the bees a treat by creating a “bee cafe”, complete with a jar of water and some plant fixings.

Don’t turn your back on Brinley, because she just might take a bag of frozen dinner rolls out of the freezer, place five of them into the microwave, and turn it on for 12 minutes. Word to the wise.

As an Easter gift, today Brinley received an outdoor exploration kit which includes a compass. Deciding it was a good idea to bring it on our afternoon walk, she tells me, “Now if I get lost, I can always find you.”

My heart.

Brin asks if Mac & Cheese makes her big and strong. After I say yes, she starts lifting up various items around the room, a big huff accompanying each effort.

“Am I getting strong dots?“

“Strong what?”

“In my arms!” Pointing at her biceps.

“Oh, you mean muscles?”

“Yeah!“
