Summer Fun Begins
This past weekend was finally nice weather in Atlanta. Warm, sunny & not raining. Did I mention not raining? Because I appreciate the rain and how it is finally getting close to the drought being officially over – but a toddler on a rainy weekend? So nice to have it not rain.
On Saturday, we started the day with shopping. Amelia gets all excited when we tell her we are going shopping – I guess because we don’t bring her very often? She got to pick out her new bathroom theme since she is a big girl who gave up pacis. She choose ducks and it is very cute so here are a few pics of the new bathroom decor (there are even ducks on the bottom of the tub!):
Amelia also went with her cousin Lena to the zoo – they are too cute together – hold hands and just enjoy each other. Here is some cute video:
On Sunday, we decided to do our outdoor play at home. We had intended on getting a water table but the Target we went to was sold out. Instead we played with bubbles. Amelia is obsessed with bubbles – not only does she have her Elmo blowing them for her, but she has to blow them as well. She hasn’t mastered it yet but she does pretty well!
We also got her a watering can so she can water mommy’s plants with mommy. She is always asking for water to put on the plants. We have to watch her because she isn’t the most gentle with them, but she means well. And we must be doing something right – they are growing fast. Well since it was hot and we didn’t have a water table, we started by just putting some water on Amelia’s feet – that escalated into a full blown water party with my watering can supplying all the fun for her. Who needs a water table when you can have this much fun – here is some video:
And don’t forget – Amelia loves to dance. Here she is grooving with daddy to some music on the back porch while he grills:
This is an adorable age for sure. Amelia is loving, playful and just learning so quickly.
A couple other fun stories, unrelated to summer:
- Amelia is learning to whisper. This morning, while up way too early, we tried to get her to lay down with us. However, instead she would sit there whispering – I could pick up the words mommy & daddy but not what else she was saying – however, the whispering is very cute.
- She has learned most of her colors! It seems like just a couple weeks ago everything was ‘purple’ – but now she knows at least the major ones – yellow, blue, red, orange and green.
- She is learning to count – I’ve heard her do 2,3,4 and 4,5,6… she gets the idea of counting now so I’m sure it’ll be any day I’ll just hear her count to 10.
- She is also learning her ABCs. If I sing the song she’ll sing different pieces & phrases along with me. E,F,G are very popular for her.
Hope you enjoyed these moments of the start of summer for the Dyar Family.
