Stepping out

Here I am complaining about the weather and my inability to go out with my daughter when the opportunity arrises to take her out again.

Mike and I took Amelia to the park at around 7:30 this evening. Mind you, it was still hot - even at that hour. Running around the play ground with the baby made both of us sticky and sweaty, but it was worth it to see the smiles on Amelia's face. She went down the slide by herself for the first time today. At first, she was a little nervous about sliding down alone. Though she had a hard time not falling onto her back, she grinned when she reached the bottom the first time or two down. After a couple of "practice runs" Amelia could slide down on her bottom like a big girl and boy did she think that was neat!

I have to say I feel really lucky to have such a lovely daughter; she's so much fun. Sure, I spend a lot of time picking up after her, but she brightens my day nonetheless.
