It has been such a wonderful summer hanging out with the girls all summer long. We did lots of fun things together as a family. We were invited a few weeks ago with some friends to their cabin in Crestline and Seanna had her very first experience with the mountains and also staying in the same room as a friend (her version of a sleepover at age 3). She had a blast and was so sad to head back home again.
Right now, Seanna and Wes are in Arizona visiting his mom (Grandmother). I'm sure they are having a great time. Little Blu and I stayed back to take care of Axel and hold the fort down. It's so quiet around here and no one is asking a million questions of me about "How does that work, or Why did I do that??" etc. I really miss them both terribly. They will be back before the weekend comes.
Seanna's has become an amazing swimmer over the summer as well. She now loves to leap off of things into the water, can dive down to the bottom of the pool to retrieve things and can do summersaults in the water all by herself. It's really amazing to watch. She is teaching herself how to breath above water while she is using her big arms too. I have to say swimming might be in that little girl's future--she sometimes wants to swim twice a day! She and Axel have spent many summer days out in the pool and she throws the ball in for him and then jumps in the water so she can see his legs swimming under the water with her pink goggles. We even had to put a portable potty outside because she could not be bothered with coming inside if she actually needs to use the rest room! :))) Crazy girl!
School is starting up again next week. Not sure we will start her until the following week since traveling takes so much out of her.
A few weeks ago we had a mommy and Seanna day and we went to her very first movie theater. She did great--it was the dollar theater so I wasn't sure about the movie that we went too and learned alot about even though it's a "G" rated movie it can still be scary. She saw Astro Boy and I have to say she did wonderfully well for her first flick. She got a booster seat and everything--we only needed one small break but she was determined to see the whole show.
Finally, I have to say how proud I am of her for what a fantastic big sister she has become. She really loves her little sister and even though she loves to control her toys and when little Blu gets to play with them, she takes great pride in being a big sister. It's one of my favorite things to do is watch the two of them interact in the play room together. Their laughs are amazing and when we had an impromptu dance party in the family room the other night--they both were laughing uncontrollably and begging to dance more-mommy, more!!
Hope you all are having a great summer too!
