Little Girl, Big Chair

Earlier this week, Caroline and I went out to the playground to swing for a bit since it was a nice day. As I was getting ready to go, I had to set her down for a minute. I decided to plop her in the recliner. She just sat there chillin'...with her arm up there like she was an old pro. She can't yet sit up by herself, so seeing her like this is amusing to me.

After the playground we came back and she had some time on the floor gym. She was really enjoying it this day...and was laughing and babbling to the animals as she played. In the afternoons now when I'm home with her, I put her on the floor to play and I read to her. What do I read? I'm reading the second book in the Twilight series. She obviously has no clue what I'm saying, and she likes to hear me talk so it works out for both of us. :-) Yes, yes, I know that the Twilight books are for teenagers. But whatever. They're entertaining. I compare my affection for them with that of Harry Potter...but don't get me wrong, Harry Potter was impossible for me to put down. These are very entertaining but I can put them down if I have to. What's not to love about a vampire love story? My point is that they're both supposedly for kids. It was funny actually...on Wednesday when we were in the pediatrician's office, another mom came in with one of the books and she and the receptionist were talking about how much they liked them. There are more adults reading them than I would have suspected! I'm glad Robyn told me about them awhile back because I have enjoyed it so far!


I signed up the wee one for her first swimming lessons the other day. They start the weekend after the 4th of July. It's not like she'll actually swim, but it'll get her used to the water. And it gives me an excuse to buy her a super cute bathing suit. :-)

Today we went to the work day at Caroline's daycare. I basically watched her the whole time, and wasn't able to really help. But they put Greg to work doing lots of manly things. I thought there would be a lot more people, but there were quite a few actually. It was nice to help out around the place (it's just a little old house in Boulder) and to meet some of the other parents.

Ah, the washer just buzzed. Don't you just love laundry?
