Best Weekend

This past weekend was the best we've had in a long time, although it didn't start out that way.  No siree... it started out when I nicked Leah's thumb (the one she sucks, of course, because why wouldn't it be?) while cutting her nails Friday morning.  It. Was. Traumatizing!  Blood was everywhere for a long time, and blood doesn't bother me so much.  But when it comes from my baby because of ME, it becomes downright gut wrenching.  Next time, I'm sure I'll blow it off, no big deal.  This time, however, I cried with her.

 Then, we met Daddy at temple for Tot Shabbat services.

Shabbat Shalom!

Saturday morning, we went on a nice family walk.  Leah was pretty relaxed (ok, asleep) in her big girl stroller.

Can I ride next time?

Post-walk Drinks

 Then we went to check out the almost-ours new house.  More on this in a later blog post!

Then, the best part... Leah went swimming for the first time with her friend Henry.  She loved it!  I knew she would; she totally loves bath time.  I can't wait to take her again!

Daddy needs goggles!

Water Baby!

Sunday morning, Leah and Johnny played a little fetch.

The start of a best friendship?

After another family walk, we headed to the CNT membership picnic.  I was a BAD mom and forgot Leah's hat (don't worry, Bubbie, she was wearing sunscreen), but she donned her sunglasses most of the afternoon.

Big girl swing!

First sno-cone... she went after it later

 That afternoon, we had a play date with Presley (and Winnie).

Thanks for thinking I'm funny, Presley.  I guess my jokes don't work on Leah anymore!

Make-out session with Winnie

 And then...

POOPED!
