V’s temper has definitely awakened. Usually if I took something out of her hand that she wasn’t supposed to have she’s bat her hand or grunt at me. Now if I take something away from her she screams. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

skyping

V loves to Skype. As soon as she hears the phone number being dialed through Skype, she comes over to her dad’s computer to see who he’s calling.

V has a few items that I’ll be holding on for her. Her great-grandma was going through her things and wanted to pass along some cool stuff. V has been slightly obsessed with clocks and watches.
