We've really been enjoying summer around here so far! Eliana and Leah continue to be really close and love being outdoors together playing in the sprinkler and kiddie pool. I love this picture below because I snuck in the doorway and they did not realize I was taking it. Leah was a little scared during Strawberry Shortcake, and so she snuggled up to big sister for comfort.
Leah has been doing a great job of going on the potty. She does insist on pottying nude most of the time though, and refuses to let me put her diaper/pullup back on after she finishes. With the recent heat wave, both kids have spent more time naked than clothed. They even have an impressive nudie dance that they perform. If Pete teaches me to upload video one day, you may see it, although perhaps that could get me in trouble with the authorities (?).
The girls are also enjoying Eliana's new Jeep. Don't these two look like a pair of teenagers?? It is truly a glimpse into the future.
Sara's visit to Pennsylvania was a great way to kick off the summer. (And of course we enjoyed her entourage of Aunt Jessie, Nana, Papa and Caspie). The big kids hit Mason's Mill playground, while Nana and Papa made the sacrificial choice of staying home with Leah while she napped.
But it turned out that Leah did NOT nap, because that has been what Leah has been doing lately: NOT napping. She's really not ready to NOT nap yet. But, I don't have it in me to battle with her over the nap either. So, we've had some rough days. Really, rough afternoons. Rough evenings. But easy bedtimes!! In fact, stay tuned for the next post where you can get a glimpse of what little Leah looks like without a nap!
Happy Summer!!!
