Squirming and Squealing

Lily played in her pool the other day. She had a blast and did quite the song and dance when Greg poured water on her.

Anniversary

Eight years ago today my people got married. Happy anniversary.

Happy Father's Day!

Then...

Now...

Another One?

So, I've been told that another person will be coming to live with us in early January. My people are very excited, but I'm not so sure about it. Maybe since I've been around a baby once already, I won't have to hide out in the bedroom quite as much the second time around. Now I'm used to all the hugs, kisses, pretend horseback riding, etc. that comes with a kiddo. I don't even get up and leave right away anymore. I'm almost like a real family dog again. :)

Keeping an Eye on Things

Lily went to the doctor yesterday for a follow-up visit. Back at her 2 year check-up, they noticed that she had an astigmatism in her right eye. It didn't seem to be affecting her vision at all, but they wanted her to come back in 6 months to check on it. So, my tall girl person took her in yesterday. Thankfully, it seems to have corrected itself with no harm done. They'll check it again at her 3 year appointment. While they were there, they went ahead and checked her weight (up to a whopping 26.5 lbs.), her temperature (which she did not like having done, even though they check under her arm just like mom and dad do at home), and the usual listen to her heart business. The doctor was going to check her teeth and ears, but she wasn't having any of that. Thankfully, there are no concerns about either, so it wasn't a big deal to skip that part. Looks like my people have a bit of preparation to do with her before her 3 year check-up. Perhaps a doctor's kit and a book about what to expect at the doctor's office are in order. My girl person tried to prep Lily before this visit and Lily seemed very gung-ho and excited about it, but got cold feet once they got to the office. Better luck next time.

Happy Camper

Lily started Toddler Camp this morning. She'll be going for three hours, two mornings a week. She was really excited about it and seemed to do well. It turns out that one of the teachers is our neighbor and her son is in it also. The tall girl and I have been trying to get info from Lily about what they did, but all she says is that she "played with toys and other kids." My tall girl tried asking specific questions, "Did you go outside?", "Is there a playground?", "Did you paint?", "Did you play with a parachute?", etc. and Lily answers "Yes" to every question. Not sure if that's because she actually did all of those things or because she just answers yes to yes/no questions. I'll be curious to hear what she tells Baldy when he gets home from work. In any case, it sounds like she had fun and the teachers said she did well. Weather permitting, my tall girl person will be going with her to Aquaport Friday morning for a little free swim time with the other campers.

My tall person spent her free time this morning working out and then washing the car. Did you know our car is actually black and not dusty gray? Go figure.
