Day Twenty-Two

This afternoon, our whole family plus Kaitlyn, who was staying with us while Jessica and Jason were out of town for the weekend, made an excursion to Walker Springs Park to get some fresh air and work off some energy.

You ran full-tilt to the play ground and climbed the steps like a pro, but when you go to the top, you were a bit hesitant about coming back down the slide. However, once you did it one time, you were good to go.

After you got the hang of it, you were running around the playground yelling, "Weeee, Mommy! Weeeee!!!"

Like with the slide, you weren't so sure about the swing at first.

Skeptical baby is skeptical

After a few tries, Daddy got you laughing by making silly faces or saying "Boo!" when you'd get close to him, and that seemed to do the trick for a few minutes, at least.

I tried to get a picture of you with Nora and Kaitlyn, but you were a girl on a mission and couldn't be slowed down.  Here they are monkeying around without you.

When we left the playground, it was dinner time, so we decided to treat you all to Cici's pizza. Admittedly, this is far from my favorite, but kids 3 and under eat for 99 cents and big kids for $3-something, so it seemed like a winner.

You, being the picture of sophistication, ate your pizza with a fork and knife. (Kind of.)

Daddy and I were very proud when a kind gentleman approached us, patted you on the head, and commented that all 3 of you girls were so well-behaved.  What a nice feeling when someone notices and says something. We know you'll continue to impress people for many reasons, big and small.
