Summertime

You sure are loving summer.  Daddy has been gone a lot because he's studying for the bar.  We've missed him a lot, but we've tried to keep busy.  One of your favorite things to do is go to a splash park that's about 20 minutes away from us.  You love to splash in the water and play at the water tables.  You don't really like some of the bigger sprays, but you have a ton of fun there.  

You playing at the water tables:

Right by the spray park there's a big playground that you like to play on.  

You also LOVE to go swimming.  You beg and beg to go swimming almost every day.  We go to the pool a lot.  There's a big pool and a little pool and you like playing in them both (in fact you insist on swimming in both of them each time we're there).  You didn't really like the big pool at first, but you've been really brave and gotten used to it.  The last time we were there you even decided you wanted to try going under water.  You held your nose while I dunked you, and you LOVED it.  After that you insisted on going under again and again and again.

We do love summer!

I'm All Done With This Part!

While we were out running errands we stopped at the grocery store and I bought a chocolate donut with sprinkles that I wanted to eat as soon as we got in the car. You asked for some, so I gave you a piece of it.  I drove on with you chatting contentedly about the donut in the backseat.  After a few minutes, you said "I'm all done with this part!"  I looked back and you were holding out the piece of donut to me.  It was all slobbery (because you had licked all the chocolate and sprinkles off) and you were covered in chocolate smears.  You had chocolate all over your face, arms and legs.   

I took the piece of donut from you and of course you said "I want some more!"
