What goes with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Swimming of course.
While Matt mowed the grass this afternoon, Natalie and I went outside to play in the back yard. With the weather getting warmer each day, we've started going out to the pool and dipping our feet in. Natalie just LOVES to be outside and especially out by the pool. Today, the water actually felt pretty good - still alittle cool but the sun was nice and warm. So instead of just dipping our feet in, we stood on the steps and got up to our knees. Natalie decided she had to have her shirt and shorts off (she never takes her clothes off) and I thought - why not just get out suits on and sit in the water. So we did that and gradually made it waist deep in the pool. Can I just say that it makes me soooo happy to have a little water baby. She LOVES it! I was like this growing up so I'm really happy to have a daughter that can share my love of swimming pools with me.
We played in the pool for almost and hour and finally had to pull ourselves out (due to hunger - I told Natalie that mommy was hungry and she said "Nana hungry"). But, we had to take a bath to wash the chlorine off first so we didn't eat until almost 7pm (we always eat at 6pm - and she didn't have a snack). Needless to say, we were both famished! I have never seen Natalie eat so much before! She had 1/2 a banana, 1-1/2 P&B Sandwiches!!!! and a glass of milk.
She was very tired so we did a short video, read some books and went to bed. She is loving her collection of Little Critter books right now (thanks Aunt Cathy!). Tonight, she also did something she'd never done before (or at least since she was a baby). About 30 minutes after I put her down, she was screaming and when I went in to check on her, she had gotten her leg stuck in between the slats of the crib and had little tears coming down her cheek. Poor baby! It scared her more than anything so I just picked her up and rocked her back to sleep. I hope she sleeps well tonight.
