This is a shot from last night. While the Gremlin might not know how to say lots of words (although her vocabulary multiplies every day), she understands almost everything you say to her. She loves to go out in the yard, find sticks to give to the Monster, crumble leaves in her hands and pick flowers to put in her hair. And if you ask her to do one of those things without pointing or indicating anything at all, she does exactly what you ask. We picked 5 flowers last night, then ran repeated circles around a tree in the yard. All the girls (or at least those of us who would leave the house) got to have flowers in our hair... even the Monster had a flower placed on her. It of course was summarily removed and stepped on, but... it is the thought that counts.
2.0 update: We are almost 3 centimeters dilated but no effacement or dropping or anything. So we are doing good. Apparently it is common for your second pregnancy to move through early labor early and smoothly. My doctor is confident I will be in her office again next week. He knows he can't come until next week Friday. So far, he seems to listen much better than his big sister... fingers crossed this is a life-long thing. God knows I could use an easy child in this house.

I'm glad he is still hanging out on the inside!
