Amelia loves to visit Hannah the beautiful horse!! Okay, okay...so maybe this was more of a little treat for mom. Hannah is just one month behind me in her pregnancy. I think she knows I'm pregnant, too. We bond.
There are lots of fun parks in Snohomish! And the best part: They're NOT crowded. Amelia loves chasing ducks and geese. We've bought bread to throw at them, but the fighting over the bread sort of turns it into a negative experience. So she just chases them instead.
Since we live on a lake, we go find rocks to put in a bucket and then go throw them in the water. She hands me rocks and likes to watch me throw it far. And yeah, I kind of like to show off for her, biting my lower lip and grunting to really huck it out there.
On Wednesday mornings we dress up and head to Bible Study Fellowship. This is where I drop her off in a class with other toddlers and we are each in our classes for two hours. The children's teaching leader has identified Amelia as a "Victory". In other words, the first couple weeks were a little rough making the adjustment of separating. But every week has gotten easier, and her instructors have told me she's getting really fun to have in class.
Amelia loves brushing her teeth. With each toothbrush. For about 10-15 minu
tes. Now, whether or not she's actually effectively brushing her teeth, I don't care. If I've somehow convinced her that personal hygiene is fun to do several times a day, I consider that success.
Heath, this was SUCH a fun post to read. I just can't get over how BUSY you two are! And, how is it that she happens to have the CUTEST outfit in every picture?! A week with you gals looks like a TON of fun! She seems to be doing lots of good work-brushing teeth, packin/throwing those big rocks, and chasing ducks. Good thing somebody is in charge of that tough stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, you look like Maid Maryan on that beautiful horse.
All dressed up for BSF Amelia looks like she is doing a little soft shoe dance routine! Too cute! Hugs from her great gramma S.
ReplyDeleteAnd about you and the beautiful horse... is she nearby so you can "visit" frequently? I always loved horses... never really had one of my own.
ReplyDeleteAnd under Amelia's hoodie, do I see a little backwards baseball cap? SO glad you are happy in your new surroundings!
Love the horse picture, and am INSANELY jealous that you have one nearby to ride. I want to ride horses!! (not own one, not own one...just ride!!) Really glad for you that life is turning out to be super in Sno-ho. Change is good, right?? :)
