Last weekend of June

This weekend we hit the pool 3 days in a row. We're pretty much experts at packing a lunch (or dinner) and a swim bag and heading to the pool. We're regulars and are becoming friends with the regulars. I love this weekend routine. Izzy loves the pool and I love the sun (and Mikey gets a workout in, too!). Today, when Iz woke from her nap, we decided to bring the pool to us: Mike set up the Kangaroo Climber to slide into the kiddie pool. Izzy loved it; her own person slide and pool. Was fun.

Other fun weekend activities included attending a local Fish Fry (we have started doing this each summer, and pick a different church each time - so yummy!), buying the bedding and paint for Izzy's new big girl room (paint is a pale lilac and bedding is purple and green stripes/polka dots), and we had our first nanny interview. We both REALLY liked her (and have more interviews set up with other gals), so I went ahead and wrote a letter to the Goddard School that we'd be leaving come Sept. 1st. So sad, as Izzy loves it there...but it's really for the best. Won't be permanent. But it's still tough to do; pull Izzy out of a school where she thrives.

As for Izzy's make-believe infatuation...this weekend she has taken it to another level. First, she has FINALLY started taking an interest in her stuffed animals and babies. She kisses and hugs them and then makes them kiss and hug each other. She has taken to dressing them up in her dress-up hats, sharing her sippy cup with them and even covering them up with her blanket. Also, while doing her laundry, she started taking article by article to daddy and he'd put them on her. She just loves to dress up!
