Here are some random musings. . .
When Evelyn has bare feet we will sometimes grab her toes and do "This little piggy." She loves the end one that cries "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home. The other day Bard was sitting on the couch, barefoot. Evelyn grabbed his toe and said "Wee! Wee! Wee!" We both cracked up : )
Not so adorable is her shrieking. She is like a banshee. What drives me crazy is that she knows most of the words for what she is wanting to communicate-90% of the time it is "Up, down, more, or milk. She knows the words and signs for those and says them easily. But often she will start off with an "Ahhhhh." That is like nails on a chalkboard especially by 5 pm at night when Bard isn't home yet, I'm trying to feed her, get our dinner, and remember why on earth I decided to have a child instead of getting a goldfish which would have been infinitely quieter. It's not a high pitched scream, and to most people it's probably not even that loud, but I cannot wait for her to grow out of this phase. . .and into something else that will likely be just as annoying only in a different way!
I can't believe I forgot to blog about her swim class! We signed her up just over a month ago. Bard took her in the pool the week before class started just so we could see she would do. She loved it, of course! She did cling to him some, which is pretty unusual for her, but she had a lot of fun. Then, she really loved being in the pool with the other babies. They sing songs and splash. She even held onto the side of the pool and did little bobs! It's so cute : ) We won't continue over the summer-too much going on, but we'll sign her back up again in the fall. And so begins 18 years of taking my child to some type of class ; ) But, I am glad she loves the water, Mexico, here we come!
