I Could Get Used To This!

Summer has been a lot of fun! Mom and I are together all the time.


We go to different parks and I go down the big girl slides now. I can even go down the enclosed slide and I love it.


We have also done a lot of shopping. When we shop we take a break and I get to play at the tree playground in the mall. Last week mom bought me a new movie, Stuart Little. I can not explain how hard that makes me laugh. I can't stop laughing at that mouse. I watch the whole thing rolling in laughter. I was laughing so hard mom had to get out the video camera.



Once a week, we pick up dad at work and have lunch together. That is a treat, I love seeing him more!


Some days we stay inside and mom and I do art projects with paints and crayons. The fridge is full with our art displays.


As you remember, I did not like swimming at my aunt Tara's on Memorial weekend and I throw a fit every time mom pulls out the baby pool in the backyard. But slowly this week, I started to like playing in the water. Mom and dad hooked up the sprinkler in the backyard and I had a ball. After doing that a couple of times this past week, I was brave enough to go in Tara's pool. I loved it! In the picture above, I am in my daddy's arms between my mom on the green float and my grandma walking around. I went in the pool Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Here I am in my cool pool car. One of the neat things about swimming is that my fingers and toes turn into raisins. They don't taste as good as the raisins mom buys in the store. My Grandparents are staying at my Aunt Tara's. I have been able to spend a lot of time with them. It has been a blast. Uncle Carl is in town, so I got to see him too. Good family time! We missed the Craig's though.

After playing in the sprinklers or the pool, mom and I take a bath, put on our matching striped pj's and watch a movie on a pallet till bedtime. I have been able to stay up till 9:00 instead of 8:00 since it is summer. However, I have only slept in once. I am just ready to start the next big day!

You have seen in previous blogs how my parents had to make a soft landing for me in case I fall off the bed. I sometimes use it instead to go to sleep. After I fall asleep they put me in my bed. Well tonight when mom looked in on me, I had taken my pillow off my bed and used it as my mattress. And they thought that I needed a bigger bed. Ha!
