Playdate

I haven't been keeping up with the personal blog, SURPRISE, but have been blogging on my website quite frequently so I decided to give the personal blog one more try. So, I'll fill you in on what we have been doing....



Bailey has been taking swim lessons for the past couple of months and has turned into a little fish. She is ALMOST swimming by herself. Her coach will give her a little push towards the side and Bailey will manage to stay afloat for a couple of seconds before beginning to sink. This is a HUGE accomplishment! As of today, she has graduated from the Pike/Eel beginner class and is now a Polliwog. We will see how that class session goes--all of the other students range in age from 6-9 years old. I told Bailey if she tries hard tomorrow I will take her to McDonalds for lunch...I live on bribery with this kid!!



Lia has turned into such a little walker, climber, mischevious little girl. She is into EVERYTHING. One of her favorite things to do is climb onto Bailey's bed and crawl around. She also finds a lot of enjoyment out of splashing in the potty. How gross! Like her sister, she absolutely loves to go to the beach and thinks it is hilarious when the waves splash onto her belly....we have had many sandy diapers the past couple of days because she also decided that sand and crackers were a tasty snack.



Today, Bailey asked me if her friend, Maddie, could come over to play. They had lots of fun painting outside, playing dress up, and bossing Lia around. Maddie and Bailey really get along nicely and it is so cute to watch them interact and play together. I can't wait for Lia and Bailey to be able to play together like this. Here are some pictures of the two of them painting outside and Lia enjoying some time in the playhouse without her big sister telling her what to do.
