Quality time with Emma
Today I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Emma and Lesley. It was such a nice morning and I look forward to being able to spend the same amount of time with Emma and Lesley when they come visit us in Ft. Worth. Our day began with a trip to the neighborhood park where Emma, Lesley and I all took advantage of playing on the equipment. I even managed to fit my widening hips on the slide and take a ride with Emma. We ran, played and worked up a nice sweat. Lesley and I finally convinced Emma that she would have more fun at home in her nice, cool pool.
While swimming Emma graciously kept me cool by watering my feet, legs, shorts and any other area the water managed to land! A 2 year old doesn’t have the best aim when it comes to using a water hose. Emma and Darby played well together in the pool while Lesley and I discussed the most important aspects of interior design. After Emma and Darby’s fingers and paws were pruny we dried off and headed to Chick-fil-a for some lunch.
I take full responsibility for introducing Emma to the best fast food restaurant around. She loved the cows and the play structure. I think Lesley will be able to take her to chick-FUN-a for years to come. Really I just wanted a grilled chicken salad but masked it as the most entertaining place for a 2 year old. After all this playing Emma and Lesley headed home to take a nap and I happily went to my house for a equally needed nap. I have so much energy to gain before Baby Hop turns 2…does that come with the birth or do you have to perpetually fake it? Whew! Kids are fun!
