Dear Friends and Family,
This weekend, instead of running from errand to errand, we filled the weekend with social engagements.
Saturday, after much dawdling about the potential weather, we ultimately decided to head to a friends house to watch Notre Dame take on the Wolverines. Seven kids, two pies of pizza, something like 24 single serve ice cream buckets, Shiner and Vernor's made for a fun afternoon.
Sunday, we had friends over. We went to see an art fair and then went on the roof for some toddler pool fun. Trying to have two toddlers play together is a naive attempt at trying to overcome natural inclination of two people not really interested in playing together. There was much toy grabbing, pushing, splashing, and temper tantrums. P doesn't seem to get much out of having a companion, at least not at her current age.
Monday, P's up since she didn't have much dinner last night. She was playing with Mr. mouse, but now the two of them are sitting down to eat. She's growing so much. Her babble is coalescing into words. There's a word that starts with 'b' for bib. There's 'book' for book. There's 'fish' for a yellow fish in her book. There's unprompted lion roars. There's 'down' which is the new up/down/help. There's 'rabbit' which she sometimes says when prompted. And, on a rare occasion I'll get 'more bottle' when she sees the bottle in the car. She's become a book worm. I'm convinced it's all gelling in her head.
And, P's reign with her two unicorns is officially over. This weekend at the fair, one or two people remarked, but most of the time P went unnoticed. It was fun while it lasted. Now, she's just our little sweetest.
Cheers!
