We had a wonderful weekend that included breakfast with Chris and Lorraine, some shopping and a new laptop to replace my obsolete hardly working laptop that's over eight years old. We were supposed to go to the beach too because as luck would have it the weather has finally warmed up. Well, we didn't make it to the beach because Elena refused to nap most of the day. She was cranky but wouldn't sleep. I guess this is the process of dropping down to one nap, quite a balance act. A friend invited us to the beach this morning, so I packed Elena up after breakfast. Yes, after breakfast because she slept until 9:45--a record! I guess she's making up for little napping yesterday.
Elena loved running along the sand and into the water. I realize I say "Elena loves" quite frequently in the blog, but it's true she just loves everything. Well, maybe with the exception of sitting still. She is just bursting with life, energy, and joy.
Elena hid her swim suit bottoms, so she wore little shorts. She is just so darn cute! After some running, splashing, falling into the water, and digging in the sand, it was time for lunch. Nothing beats cold broccoli, peas, corn, carrots, and green beans on a warm day in the sun. She's my little eater. Or she is until she's had almost enough, then she picks up the bowl and dumps it....of course today that meant we had sandy veggies. And if it was up to Elena, she would continue to eat these sandy veggies.
Almost time to leave the beach. Elena is in a dry outfit and enjoying a few animal crackers. "Roar"
