I am looking forward to June, since we do get to celebrate all of our birthdays (plus Felix's the first week of July) in addition to our 4 year wedding anniversary. And we get to spend a month in FL with family, enjoying the pool & the beach- and a first this summer..... ballet camp with cousins!But on the other hand, we will be apart from Felix for 3 weeks in June.
So I also look forward to July where we get to enjoy a few more family getaways back home before water polo season officially starts again. And on the agenda this month? Storyland, lazy days on the lake, and a daytrip or two to Newport. I'm excited.
Still chugging away at the potty training thing. We seem to be regressing a bit- not sure why, but clearly, she gets the concept as I walked in on her playing "mommy" to her baby. (even though I usually put the seat down for her!).
We had a blast this month. My favorite part? Bedtime routine. We brought the kids upstairs, changed into PJ's, washed up, and then we all cozied up on the couch in Levi's room to read books and sing songs. It is a routine even Levi anticipated, and it was one of my favorite parts of the day. We love having Daddy home for bedtime.
Our day at the New England Aquarium. I'd love to say it was awesome and we had a great time, but to be honest- it was pretty boring. I was ready to go after 20 minutes, but since we drove almost an hour to get there and park, I was determined to get at least 2 hours out of it. The kids seemed to have fun, so that was good :). I just don't think I'm a museum kind of girl.
wow. MORE fish. look at 'em go!
Now THIS was more like it! The carnival!!! We took the kids to the carnival last night- it was a very small carnival, with about 5 or 6 rides for Emma's age- and she loved them all. Especially when her daddy would squeeze in the rides with her :)
The spinning dragon ride. I thought it would never end.
A bouncy house at the carnival! We cheated and let the "too little for any rides" Levi jump on the outside. Look how high Emma is in there!!
Did he just grow up right before my eyes? Where did my baby go??!!!!! (his other shoe is in the stroller).
On the merry go around bench. Another ride we cheated on for little L.
Waiting in line for the next ride- a train roller coaster. Emma was not about to let the people cut in front of her in line......look at her face!
She LOVED this ride. In her very own truck with a steering wheel. I think she really thought she was steering- throwing that wheel around just like I do- and her eyes, glistening with pure joy. She kept waving out the window when she passed us. And she kept leaning in to giggle with the little boy who was sitting next to her in her car. She looked like such a big girl in there to me- having fun, playing with her new friend.
The boys. Keeping cool.
And would you look at this! Little miss Emma finally agreed to ride the horse on the carousel, secured tightly in her father's grip. And she loved every mintue of it.
