While her brother is visiting family in California for a month, we have Z all to ourselves! I love them both dearly, but having just one of them is SO MUCH EASIER than two of them. We’ve taken full advantage of the mid summer weather this week and gone for so many walks in the wagon and trips to the park. Per her request, we always stop at the grocery store first to pick up grapes, strawberries, and cheese for our picnic dinners. She’s a cheap date 🙂

She’s also jetlagged from their trip to China….

In an effort to keep her awake at least past 5pm, I took her to the park and splash pad to keep her distracted. It totally worked.

It took her awhile to warm up to the whole idea, but once she got one toe in the water, she didn’t want to come back out. I had to coax her out of the water with pretzels and a juicebox so we could head home. She did the no-pants-dance in the bike seat since she was totally SOAKED. She thought it was hilarious and held her shorts off the bike to dry while we rode.

I was getting some serious baby fever watching all the adorable babes running around in the sprinklers. Not even the kid licking the ground and eating wet diapers could save me from myself.
