coming in from the cold

A bunch of wonderful things happened today.  Michelle went out and ate with her friend.  Marissa ate all her food.  It was fried rice and chicken.  I then bribed her with a 'carrot' and she took a poop.  At lunch we were listening to my tablet and  Bob Marley's coming in from the cold song came on.  I got some good video of her dancing to it.  She was pretending to be cold and not just hugging herself in the video.  After lunch we went up to her new treehouse and played for a little while.  She is so good at being careful moving up and down the stairs.  Mercury went up there with us today and Marissa was hugging her pretty good.  I gave Marissa a peapod from the front yard and she said more.  She loves fresh peas.  I found about two or three more pods then said can't find anymore.  She went on the hunt all hunched over examining every plant.  She yelled out "theres one papa" and before I could she ripped it from the vine.  I had to open it for her and she let out a 'mmmmmmm'   I bet it was more satisfying because she found it herself.  I brought her rocking chair outside and she was loving it.  She rocked back and forth for about 10 minutes.  A neighbor came by with two big dogs down our sidewalk and Marissa ran up to the stairs.  Good girl !  Michelle and I got some more good video of her dancing to "coming from the cold".
