so this is what nola looked like with the new "puddle jumpers" i got for the girls to wear at the res beach.
if i had a picture of avery in them, your computer might just blow up with pride and excitement.
she swims around by herself, introducing herself to any and every kid that's within ear shot (hi! what's your name? i'm avery!) and announcing to unsuspecting parents (usually of the kids she's befriended) "these are puddle jumpers!" and the adult says "what?!" and leans down and avery screams out her response again and then smile and nod, and zane and i giggle and beam all the while.
seriously. it's hyserical. slap these waterwings on our big girl and she's gained confidence that i didn't even know was lurking underneath.
luckily (for everyone involved) nola finally warmed up to the floaties and now enjoys "sloating" with avery and her friends :)
we *LOVE* the summer. we've already had our first heat wave!
and i've already skipped my first class! (i'm apparently avocado intolerant or allergic. i'm hoping it's just with extra ripe avocados.)
and the girls have stopped napping (because we said so) and last night they were asleep without a peep at 7, and tonight by 7:15. success!!
other than that, things are moving along. more to come later.
